Anime Fighting Games Should Succeed

[bb憂鬱レクイエム]

This game looks really cool. I hope it does well whether there is rollback netcode or not

[SchuratzPraime]

I think so too. May new anime fighting games ports arrive,

Game is dead on arrival without rollback. There's really no two ways about this.

it's both beginner friendly and challenging for veterans. i made it to #2 before i retired. i was #1 for a time but the player Kyokone, and rightfully so, took it from me. Chizuru and Sasara are my top two picks for beginners. Chizuru is considered top tier due to being very fast and easy to play, beginner or vet. Sasara is easy to play but also requires some technical finesse and range mastery. she has very long reach, and very high damage, but is also very slow. just, unless things are changed upon coming to PC, don't pick Rhiannon. she's unanimously agreed upon by the fandom that she's useless.

wouldnt expect it to sell too well but nice its getting a chance. now we need daemon bride to get all team arcana games ported

This! Like that's literally the only Team Arcana game that has yet to even get an actual home port. Its still stuck to arcades from its original and 2 other updated versions (Additional Gain, and the upcoming Exa-Arcadia arcade version with the "exAGAIN" subtitle.)

Not that it even matters, considering, Rage of the Dragon's Neo, a modern/current gen release of the old Neo-Geo MVS/AES game, has been out recently, does have rollback, but none of its online rooms are active and its just barren. Not having cross-play (unlike Qubyte's previous FG release Breaker's Collection, which does have both rollback and cross-play) probably kinda soured its chances to just being a discord fighter.

Also, the store page at the moment now (unless otherwise) only lists the game as "Single Player", even though its a versus fighter (local/offline). However, there's no mutiplayer tags (such as Online PVP, and Shared/Split-Screen PVP) that mention online that other fighters do have. (Hopefully that gets updated down the line. But doubtful...)

But yeah TC, as much as games like this should succeeed, the only major AFG that's kinda left so far (unless otherwise) is Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax: Ignition, hopefully that one does a native PC/Steam port one day. (Considering both Aquapazza and DBFC: Ignition were on PS3 previously, for example.)

I really doubt it, lol. Though to be fair, the PS3 digital version, outside of sales, was probably around this price in its later years before it got delisted. Hopefully its priced decently, cause outside of the Utawarerumono series which are normally pricey, outside of sales where they go for decent prices, only White Album ($25) and Dungeon Travelers ($20) are priced fairly normally on Steam. So it might have a chance to be similarly priced.

I imagine it will, their recent ports of DT 1-3 and White Album were priced at or around 20 USD

thats a pretty average cast size for a first version of a sprite based game.
someone got to draw every frame, and they got to figure out playstyle, moves, etc, while balancing characters

I hope that if it doesn't have rollback netcode it bombs. Game devs are not charities.

If you want anime fighters with rollback, you're not exactly hurting for choice on Steam.

I wouldn't have too high expectations.
Fighting game fans are a niche and to find Aquaplus fans among them is a niche within a niche.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that it is on PC now (even if 13 years late), but chance that it will blow up in popularity is very small

stop crying, the game took more than 10 years to arrive on steam so this tantrum of yours makes NO sense whatsoever
