Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game

Best new fighting game

First of all, the price. $40 is a lot. Then we have the story mode, which feels extremely random when it comes to difficulty. One fight is super easy, while the next one requires you to abuse the AI just to get through it. The overall quality of the story mode is pretty low. I could understand that if the price was lower, but it isn't. Then you get into multiplayer after finishing the story. I get that I'm not a pro, but people are sitting in lobbies and seriously sweating over this game. I have a hard time pressing six buttons at the same time just to activate an ultimate (which is stupid, by the way). Even pressing five buttons to use a spender is challenging for me. Meanwhile, these guys are hitting everything perfectly, pulling off insane combos, and blocking practically every hit with perfect timing. So I do not recommend this title unless you can get it at a huge discount. Low-quality campaign. Unplayable multiplayer.

i'm SO BAD at this game.. but i love it so much, first of all, it has my goat korra, which that alone makes it great, the animation is hand drawn frame by frame, the only problem i have is that u have to go into the files to change the movement keys to wasd, but everything other than that is great! worth the 50

Absolutely sick game For non fighting game player onboarding, I think it does a great job getting you into it. If you're brand new, the auto combo (mashing the light attack) lets you get in and play immediately and do cool stuff, and optimizing out of there feels like there's tons of ways to improve without having major jumps in difficulty. The "breakdown" tutorials are really good at teaching what combos and pressure should look like but slowing it down so it's not a binary pass/fail and you can practice the examples slowly speeding up. As a fan of the show, I keep getting impressed at the animations and how perfectly matched they feel. Some of them could be stolen frame by frame from fight scenes. The references and attention to detail is so awe inspiring. The active defense with flow reversal seems so deep with mind games and strategy and out playing an opponent for going into the string you predict, evading it with flow, and punishing it is possibly the best feeling I've ever encountered. Defense in fighting games is usually just wait it out and take your turn after, and you can do that here, but the extra options are so exciting. Not only that, but being knocked down feels way better in this game than others because you can roll in any direction and spend resources to roll extra far. The few times you get a hard knockdown is so terrifying and makes it important, rather than the result of every single interaction. Every character is spectacular. I want to swap mains multiple times per play session because I keep seeing another player do something amazing. Game runs great on both this PC and my steam deck. I've started taking it to friends houses and to my local fighting game events to play on the deck. It was definitely released a bit too early, but the foundations of this game are perfection and I'm having the best time.

Really fun fighting game. You can tell they pushed it out the door a bit, but the core fighting experience is just extremely solid and satisfying. At the price point, it's worth it.

фу, просто фу, так бездарно привязать скиллкаст в файтинге это надо еще уметь

genuinely so depressing that tokon stole the spotlight from this game for its launch, so much depth and there's so much uniqueness in every character, which makes its INSANELY SMALL 12 character roster feel almost double of what it actually is. unfortunately, this game is CRAZY hard, much more than its competitors, but for those who want to put in the time to really master this game it has the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sauce. there's some complaints i have and others do, such as no real ranked, some missing promised features and some omitted polish, but that can mostly be chalked up to paramount rushing the game out for the movie release (given the main villain of said movie was obviously supposed to be part of the launch roster with the twitter post). i don't mind though, as it's a lot better than tokon having a non disclosed before download PSN requirement and running terribly on PC while not even feeling that good and the music being so bad (i love arc sys but what da hell are they doing). if this review is me coming off as more of a hate review towards tokon, that's because it is AND it costs 20 more than this game. don't waste your money, ♥♥♥♥ playstation, ♥♥♥♥ paramount, and ♥♥♥♥ azula players
