Kendo Crush

[Scouter51st]

May I ask what happened to this game? I couldn't help but look at previous titles and the voice actors. Also Tsunderes #1... until they start beating you to a pulpSTAHP

Apparently it failed. due to staff issues from what i've heard.

You can still download the demo at the kickstarter page though.

thank y'all disappointed they didn't get to release it but at least had Kaori to tease

Honestly, I felt like I enjoyed the variety of choices for the main character in Kendo Crush demo better than Ace Academy but I enjoyed the setting of Ace Academy more than I enjoyed the setting of Kendo Crush demo.

Pity. I was hoping Pixelfade would pick up the pieces and finish what they started. Kendo Crush could have been like an OVA of Ace Academy. I just want to see more of Shou, Mayu, Yuuna, Kaori, Kaito, Nikki, EVERYONE! *sigh* Sometime life isn't fair...

Kendo Crush actually looked like a very unique first take at ACE Academy. It had most of the characters we see now with some variants and hidden depths.

- The main character is actually much more troubled with his circumstances of moving the Isokaze and is actually more of a delinquent archetype.
- Yuuna was overweight when she was younger and teased for it. She then underwent intense weight loss programs and became much more beautiful, and everyone wanted her.
- Ken was actually filling out the role as the big bully and not Nikki's love interest.

There were also a lot of other interesting characters who were planned for the game:
Daiki Tanaka: A member of the Kendo Club. A pretty taciturn fellow with a deep voice.
Jun Naoki: The President of the Student Council. He is not fond of the Kendo Club and would like nothing better than to see it closed down.

The game just looked like so much fun and MODERN. Come on, Pixelfade, why stop?

I hope they try to revive this game again. I like their games.
