I love the gameplay. The game has good enough training mode systems, rollback and replay takeover. I really want to give it a positive review. But sadly, I just cant recommend the game especially at full price (66 CAD!) or even half. If you are gonna buy the game, better have discord installed cuz thats where ya getting ya matches from, cuz due to the low playercount, you would not be able to find games easily even …

Y'all are sleeping on this fighter. All normals cancel into each other, either on hit or block. Yes, that includes heavies into lights. GRD system is super fun to interact with. You get a free damage buff passively and you receive this game's version of a roman cancel. If you master GRD control, you can control the game much better, but your opponent will be doing the same, so find opportunities to snipe it when …

The combat system; especially the GRD tug-of-war mechanic which in turn adds a strong layer of strategy, rewarding players who think as much as they react. Let me start off by explaining why the …

Just finished all the tutorials and can see that this game has a lot of meat, however the concurrent online players is abysmal and a turn off for many new players, i havent played ranked yet, but by numbers alone i know there wont be many beginner players to learn the game with which will make an unpleasent learning journey. Sure, you can find people to play and learn in discord, but a modern game shouldnt require …

Legit one of my favorite fighting games of all time. It's a bit much on sale for what ya get and is lacking some features, but the core gameplay loop is addicting.

If Akatsuki has no fans, I no longer exist. If the whole world is against Akatsuki, I am against the whole world. I will love Akatsuki until my very last breath.

I was really worried after Type Lumina that French Bread was going to go the route of Arc Sys's new works for the sequels and dumb things down but thankfully, everything seems in tact with a lot more refinement. It's been a long time since I was actually active in UNI netplay and doubt my skills still hold up with the new meta but I still…
