Any update?lol

Did the devs gave up on this game?.

This game was a big bet for the company, which went bad. :( The only succesful indie fighting game that I know is Skull Girls, and unfortunately Fantasy Strike hasn't been able to repeat the prowess.

So, being very optimistic, the only updates you could expect are about character balance. Being realistic don't expect even than. At least characters are well balanced, so we will survive with it.

Well, ♥♥♥♥... I was wondering since i saw a picture with all the character and there were like 5 blacked out characters as if they were upcoming characters.

[tserleg1471]

I imagine that they are among the 7 Yomi characters (the card game) who are would have been included in Fantasy Strike if it had been succesful. Ok, there is also the robot, but I don't count it because included at Onimaru's Super.

You know some of the other characters from the game intros and endings, like Persefone, Zane, or Menelker.

Every fighting game that's not made by Capcom or NRS is a big bet. Arcsys completely overhauled guilty gear, and it paid off greatly, but their dungeon fighter game seems to have flopped, and the new melty blood cratered.

I think a big part of it is that the developers do not maintain an active and visible "roadmap" of game development for the future to encourage fans to chip in more often/for bigger amounts. Allow fans to vote for who to get in next, to see who would be the most popular/urgent additions out of the remaining 17(?) characters of the franchise. Try to keep things consistient, holding out for one new addition out of the remaining 17.

As much as I hate to say it, a guest character may also help in this regard to drive people to the game.

I guess the lack of overhead, low attacks and other basic fighting game mechanics made it so it's pointless to create new characters as it will be just more of the same.

That and the game might not be so popular since how boring is to watch experienced players fight in this game as they only use 1 or 2 moves every round every fight.

There technically are low and overhead attacks, but no low/high blocking to make them worthwhile.

[Keyrala]

They're just animations, all attacks are mid. We just have throws, mid or cross ups if you want to count them.

Exactly. Without multidirectional blocking, all attacks are... mid.

Surprising a free cross-play game is dead.

Surprising a free cross-play game that takes place in a fantasy universe and ACTUALLY does something with the potential for different races and characters is dead. -_-
