![]() Players fight 1-on-1 and have access to a light attack, heavy attack, super attack, grabs, blocking and dodging. There are no trophy-esque bios for characters and locations so if it wasn’t for the obvious guests like Shovel Knight and Isaac I wouldn’t be surprised if many don’t even realise this is a crossover game.īlade Strangers is a pretty standard 2D fighting game. The story mode is ultimately lacking for a game that should have lots of fan-service and this is especially painful when it is the only real source of fanservice in the game. Honestly, the best part of the story was getting insight into the plot of Umihara Kawase cause lord knows that game itself never went into it. If two characters from the same series fight they may reference something from their games but that is it. They often have pre-battle or post-battle dialogue but outside of Curly’s running gag with the Mimiga and each opponent interpreting them differently, they are mostly self-contained. The unlockable characters and main villain have a separate story but it’s not much different from the main plot and unfortunately, the interactions between characters in this mode rarely go anywhere. The modes only need one Blade Stranger to defeat the virus/devourer Lina so take a bunch of heroes, convince them they are fighting in a tournament and watch them fight it out. A Blade Stranger is a hero made from code who has the ability to transcend dimensions and defend the data world from harm. These computers called Modes are in desperate need of a new Blade Stranger after their old ones get killed. For every one of the starting characters the plot is identical. The game has been a long time coming but does this crossover do both the characters and fans justice?īlade Strangers has a story mode for every character but don’t get your hopes up for something special. I have always wanted to see the likes of Quote and Curly in other games, like Super Smash Bros! However any fighting game will do me until then, and Studio Saizensen is here to deliver with Blade Strangers, a 2D traditional fighting game that crosses over the characters from Studio Saizensen’s games with Nicalis’, and a few guests. I want to thank Nicalis for sending us this game for review.
