I wish anime fans would quit pretending this kind of nonsense is nothing but generic and lazy. same character/personality types over and over, same outfits and hair, same exact head with different hair and change the eye color. good, but generic voice acting that literally every other anime character sounds like. Awful, pandering weeb cash grab garbage.
I'm not seeing what this game does different over Melty Blood, or Under Night, other than maybe a tired and overdone art style.
There's more unique and vibrant fighting game options on the Switch itself!
Games making in the year 2021, marketing marketing marketing marketing, marketing, copy, paste, half done, release, patch!
I really enjoyed the Phantom Breaker beat-em-up, but this just looks like several other games that I already own, or have avoided due to them looking like the others. The character roster just doesn't look interesting or diverse enough.
@Oddball83 well said. I'm an old-school anime fan. I can't stand a lot of today's anime, or many of the games built around it, for exactly these reasons. It's become an unimaginative, mass-produced shell of its former self.
Well, the comments are spot-on, the game looks too generic. It's like melty blood without interesting characters, like arcana heart without the lewdness, like under night without personality, it's missing something like idk, some mech wearing a kimono or a bear with a skateboard or a maid with a horse head or something wacky like that
To be fair I am a sucker of any decent 2D fighter so I'll probably end up getting this. Looks fine to me. I suspect I won't get it full price though.
I can understand where people are coming from though.
The game definitely has a decent general anime style. Visuals are nice. Like others, I'm a bit puzzled what "anime fighter" even means. It's almost like a parody in a sense as it's a collection of common, modern, zany anime tropes. But anime isn't a genre. Some of my favorite old fighters like King of Fighters 98 and The Last Blade are clearly anime influenced. The Last Blade was likely influenced by Rurouni Kenshin if I recall the timeline correctly. Then there was the Fist of the North Star 2D fighter, an actual anime fighter. This isn't a knock on this game and I'll definitely look for the review when it's ready.
Looks good. Definitely will add to my Wish List, but can the Switch version of Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds: Overdrive get online multiplayer now? Kinda the reason I bought it in the first place…
Anyway it’s cool to have Trina Nishimura reprise her iconic role as Makise Kurisu.
the people complaining about the game looking generic dont catch the girl with the Reimu outfit
