Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game

I like this game

I'm having a lot of fun. Happy to see a fighting game that isn't completely dumbing itself down for casuals who won't play the game for more than a week regardless of how easy they make it. There is plenty of sauce to be found in this game and I look forward to discovering it myself. My issue is not with the game itself, but that it's clear the publishers ♥♥♥♥♥♥ a lot of things up and likely forced this to release prematurely. This is a *very* sloppy release. There are lots of minor things that have been standard in the genre that are missing, this game has easily the worst combo trial mode I've ever experienced and the whole ranked situation is legitimate false advertising. I will happily make this a positive review when the features promised in the advertising are in the game working as intended, but as a consumer, we can't reward this.

Not at all "casual player" friendly. I've played a few fighting games over the years (Injustice, Mortal Kombat X, Super Smash Bros), but this game is kicking my ass. Story Mode chapter 1 feels impossible, as I cannot get more than a few hits on Katara (and more than once she won the fight without me scoring a single hit). The tutorials are too complex, covering combos and expecting you to have perfect timing. Graphics look amazing, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ was it soul crushing to play. If you want to attract casual fans, consider the following: 1) adjust the difficulty and/or add difficulty settings for the story/AI characters 2) make a "How to Play" tutorial that is more than just a "settinga menu" explaining button combos! Teach us the basics of blocking! Explain the difference between attacks A, B, and C! Build up to showing us chaining attacks/combos (e.g. start with "here's how to block followed by a basic attack" and work up to "here's how to air attack, dash, reach attack, dash, grab, throw, dash, launch attack, and chain A, B, and C to finish them off!") Like I loved Injustice: Gods Among Us, especially because it had tutorials that held my noob hand and taught me the *basic* basics like blocking and which attack did what

Perfect gameplay. Most fun i've had with a fighting game in like half a decade. I want to main every single character and i'm excited to lab every interaction, i love this game. The art and hand draawn animations are superb. the game has insane attention to detail and even includes concept art from the original show. Story mode is goofy but fun.

アニメ「アバター 伝説の少年アン」の2D格闘ゲーム化。 日本では正直な所マイナーだが海外では超がつく大人気（らしい） まず良い点として操作性が良く、暴発などのストレスに苛まれにくいと感じた。 それとSEも良く、ストレスなく操作できて技を当てたら気持ちいいという 格闘ゲームの原点ともいえる部分がしっかりできている。 グラフィックは好みにもよるが見やすいしモーションやエフェクトも 派手過ぎない程度のかっこよさでよくできていると個人的には思う。 無駄な演出などが少な目で対戦テンポがよくつい数十戦連打できるのも高評価。 ゲーム性については作品が世界的には幅広い人気という事もあり カジュアル向けの作りかと思いきや完全に激しい格闘ゲーマー向けの作りになっている。 飛びが強くて移動が速く高速中段、8方向ダッシュ、浮遊など何かしらの激しい行動が キャラの特性で可能。その辺を使いこなすとなると操作はかなり忙しくなる。 （一応地上コンボはA連でもそれっぽいものができるようにはなっている） キャラの個性も際立っていて、好みもあるがどのキャラも面白く やりこみ要素を感じるので、操作は大変だが色々と遊んでみたくなる良さがある。 激しい割に移動起きが強いため起き攻めはそこまでひどいことにはならない事が多い印象。 どちらかというと立ち回りからいきなりぶつかり合いが始まる感じ。 とりあえずフローボタンを押せばキャラごとに何かすごいことが起きる。 既存ゲームのイメージとしてはDNF Duelが近いと思う。 とにかく激しいめちゃくちゃな行動をしたい格闘ゲーマー向け。 現状PC版は日本語対応していないが割となんとかなる。 あとはプレイしている日本のゲーマーに聞こう！ 悪い点としてはランクマッチが未実装だったり 一部キャラ（特にOZAI）のモーションが雑だったり トライアルモードでCPUがコンボを完走しなかったり 作りかけ感をそこかしこに感じるが、今しか楽しめない ロケテ感を楽しめるのでそこも味だよねって事で。 定価でも安いので色々触っている格闘ゲーマーには とりあえずおすすめできると思います。

**Dieses Spiel ist eine einzige Enttäuschung und wird zurückgegeben.** Das Spiel fühlt sich komplett unfertig an. Mehrmals werden Eingaben einfach nicht erkannt oder das Spiel reagiert verzögert, was besonders in den Kämpfen extrem nervt. Auf Steam steht zwar, dass es nur „teilweise Controller-Unterstützung“ gibt, aber in der Praxis fühlt es sich eher so an, als wäre die Controller-Steuerung überhaupt nicht vernünftig getestet worden. Anfängerfreundlich ist das Spiel absolut gar nicht. Im Storymodus kann man nicht einmal den Schwierigkeitsgrad einstellen. Ich habe bereits beim zweiten Kampf aus Wut das Spiel geschlossen, weil es einfach keinen Spaß macht, gegen die schwammige Steuerung und das schlechte Kampfsystem zu kämpfen. Als großer Avatar-Fan finde ich dieses Spiel ehrlich gesagt tragisch. Die Serie bietet so viel Potenzial, und daraus wurde ein frustrierendes, unfertiges Spiel gemacht, bei dem keinerlei Spielspaß aufkommt. Auch die Story beginnt komplett merkwürdig: Katara, Toph und die anderen kennen Aang plötzlich nicht mehr. Natürlich würde man gerne weiterspielen, um herauszufinden, warum das so ist. Das Problem ist nur, dass das Spiel durch seinen lächerlichen Schwierigkeitsgrad und die schlechte Steuerung schon am Anfang so frustrierend ist, dass man gar keine Lust mehr hat, die Story weiterzuverfolgen. Aber Hauptsache, die Entwickler haben Zeit gefunden, den ausgelutschten „Ong“-Witz einzubauen. Sehr toll. Vielleicht hätte man diese Zeit lieber dafür nutzen sollen, das Spiel spielbar zu machen. Für Avatar-Fans ist dieses Spiel keine liebevolle Umsetzung, sondern eine Beleidigung. Ich werde es zurückgeben und kann nur davon abraten, dafür Geld auszugeben.

A very fun fighting game with a lot of love poured into. Can't really say I'm a huge fan of how a good number of strong combos you pretty much need to know some variation of to play at higher level are locked behind insane timing windows. I personally don't miss the over the top execution of older games, but aside from the game needing more polish, no complaints. I just hope Paramount actually continues supporting this game because the devs have created something special here.

Felt a bit weary considering the negative reviews. It does seem like the launch was rushed, but in only three hours of playing this has been the most fun experience I've had in a while when it comes to playing a new game. The gameplay is super fluid and at it's core it's an amazing experience. The characters and bending are drawn so beautifully and the game really captures the push and pull of seriousness and silliness that we know from ATLA. Aang beats the ♥♥♥♥ out of you in one moment, and then celebrates by using his spinny marble magic trick in the next. Most issues which people have been complaining about (keyboard mapping, ranked mode, lobbies that hold more than 2 players) have been recognized as top priority by the developers and will probably be added pretty soon. Some of the reviews also made me believe you can't play this with a controller, but steam input's got your back. You don't need a fightstick to play this. I'm using an old nintendo switch pro controller. If you have friends to play with and mostly pick this up as a casual game to play because you love the series, it's an easy recommendation. If you really wanna go all out it's definitely possible, but probably a better experience in coming updates. The only negative I have outside of the ones already mentioned is that the story mode uses a random piece of TLOK lore to sloppily justify the canon of having multiple avatars / characters from different timelines alive and fighting eachother, making the story mode feel like an afterthought.
