    There is thing called "progressively getting harder and more challenging". In this very cheaply made game, that is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I like to think I am fairly decent at fighting games, enough to always beat the story mode with barely any problems, but when I tell you that the final boss of the story mode is the hardest thing i have ever seen, I mean it. Stun locking, spamming, supers that kill AT ANY PERCENT. It …

    Narmaya's Review I originally picked this up a long time ago purely because of Super Sonico. This is an older 2D anime fighting game that acts as a giant crossover for heroines from various Nitroplus visual novels. It is very niche, but has a certain early 2010s anime charm if you are familiar with the characters or just enjoy the flashy 2D aesthetics. If you are looking to buy this title, it is almost certainly …

    Out of all the dumb come-and-go anime fighters released over the last decade, this is the only one I periodically feel a need to return to, and which I like enough to play on a delay based netcode in this age of rollback. Cool mechanics, I really like the guard reversal mechanic, it adds a real back and forth flow to blockstrings and pressure. Moreso the game has something a lot of modern fighters lack: chaos.

Players who liked Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel talk about great crossover roster with beloved characters; those who didn't talk about online multiplayer is nearly dead. Which matters more to you?

Critics, per Wikipedia

The PlayStation 4 and PC versions received "mixed or average reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions a score of all four sevens for a total of 28 out of 40. Kyle LeClair of Hardcore Gamer said of the PS4 version, "In the end, those who are more familiar with works of Nitroplus will get the most out of Nitroplus Blasterz (shockingly enough), but even those with no prior knowledge of the included franchises should easily be able to enjoy it." Kyle MacGregor Burleson of Destructoid called it "a fast, smooth, strategic, and generally entertaining fighting game that has found a happy medium between…

    With facts and logic, Dan and I constructed what the roster of a 2D Uma Musume fighting game with 18 core characters and 20 assists (akin to Nitroplus Blasterz, Dengki Bunko, Million Arthur and MK1) would look like. Along with whatever style they would play like.

    The Senran Kagura franchise turns 15 years old today. While the series doesn't have a fighting game on its own, it has made numerous crossovers with several fighting game IPs, including BlazBlue, Dead or Alive, Nitroplus Blasterz, The King of Fighters, etc.

In this case, Ein's theme, Search & Destroy (by Toshimichi Isoe) is a standout~ Those drums! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl1G...

    My tinfoil hat theory that I have no way to prove is that Nitroplus Blasterz started development as a Demonbane fighting game before becoming a crossover. I don't know why else 80% of the stages and the story mode would be Demonbane focused otherwise

    Probably the first fighthing game I've ever taken seriously (my waifus are there duh). The animations and visual aspect is gorgeus and very smooth. The controls are a bit tough at the beginning but the more you try and practice the sooner you get the hang of it. The amount of different outfits and alternative colours available for each playable character is astonishing and gives the player a sense of identity by choosing your preferable one. Overall a fairly game, and if you are really into the…

    I got recommended this as a solid 2d anime fighter that was fairly cheap and would be cozy to play, its not any of those things though so... First of all you don't really have any playable characters, you have around a roster of 14 characters while having 20 additional fighters locked off as "partners". Partner just means you can press a button and they'll pop in for an attack and that's it. While 14 characters isn't terrible, what really made me dislike the decision was how (keep in mind I am…

    The game is fun if you like fighting, but good luck. as you need to use a controller. I wish i could recommend it, but I don't want others to struggle. ( ̄▽ ̄)" I like it because it's filled with cute girls, but there is no tutorial. Not one. I wish it had one as I am struggling to play the game. I know it’s an old game but still, at least stick a button tutorial somewhere.

    A nice 2D fighting game with a really good selection of characters. It's a really good 2D fighting game because of Its characters selection, each one of those characters are distinct from each other with good combos and unique personalities, that is mostly because they have a deeper story in their own games/manga/anime. Most characters share the same way of doing combos and the "Lethal Blaze" too. The game is not difficult, but the boss is broken, so you need to practice a lot, learn how to…

My son got this game from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube.
