What really made this one stick with me was how varied each heroine’s special attacks and standard moves are. Guilty Gear Xrd Sign got me used to some complicated combos through various button combinations so I didn’t have too much trouble here.

Each support character has her own voice actress with dialogue in the story and battles as well.Ĭontrols are a bit different to what I was used to and there’s a heavy reliance on quarter circle movement for executing special attacks. You can set up your support to freeze the screen or shoot a series of missiles into your opponent as you prepare to unleash your ultimate lethal blaze. The support mechanic is really interesting as it allows for unexpected twists in combat thanks to the diversified support options. There are twelve playable characters and many more support characters.Įach player can have two support characters along with their main character in a battle. This brings us a very eclectic cast ranging from my favourite: Saber from Fate/Zero, and the Fate series to Saya from the visual novel Saya no Uta. This one has an all female cast (as the name suggests) from the Nitroplus visual novels and other media involving the same writers. Nothing makes or breaks a fighting game more than its cast and mechanics. It has grown on me so much that I just get in, play a couple of games, and boot up something else when I’m free.

In the last ten days, though, I’ve been spending my time between The Witness and Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel, two games that couldn’t be more disparate, yet the latter has become one of my addictions. Today that isn’t even in my top three and I’ve discovered some great games like Guilty Gear Xrd Sign and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. A few years ago the only fighting game franchise I cared about was Mortal Kombat.
