[h3][code]Die Unreal-Engine wurde gekonnt für einen eigenen Visual-Style eingesetzt.[/code][/h3] Die Jungs und Mädels von ARIKA wissen natürlich was sie tun. Denn sie stecken hinter so gefeierten Underdog-Prüglern wie STREET FIGHTER EX und FIGHTING LAYER. Darum heisst das Game auch hier Fighting Ex Layer 😄 Waren die hauseigenen Vorgänger noch im Stil eines TEKKEN gehalten, haben wir hier ein waschechtes 2,5D Arena Beat´em´Up wie bei Mortal Kombat X, XI und dem neuen Reboot. Diese Stages sind wunderbar belebt mit zahlreichen Animationen und Lichteffekten, aber auch zerstörbaren Objekten. Die Figuren haben ganz eigene Movesets und überzeugen auf ganzer Linie. Fast noch wichtiger für Profis sind aber die fein austarierten Frames, die (egal ob bei Kombos oder einfachen Bewegungen) ganz gezielt und taktgenau aufeinander abgestimmt sind. Das erzeugt auch rein optisch schon ein Gefühl von Kontrolle und Professionalität. [/td] [td] Japanische Stimmen in Fighting Games mag ich einfach. Sie sind stets dramatisch und überzogen (für uns "Westler"), haben etwas theatralisch an sich. [h3][code]Die Musikstücke sind generisch aber von Ohrwurmqualität.[/code][/h3] Die Schlag-, Wurf- und Trittgeräusche sind absolut passend wuchtig. Die Specials haben Wumms und befriedigen das Ego, wenn man sie auslöst. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [table] [tr] [th] 🔹 Gameplay 🕹️[/th] [th] 🔹 Wertung 🏅[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td] Klar geben sich die Profis von ARIKA hier keine Blöße. Mit Gamepad ist die Steuerung ein Traum. Aber auch zu zweit an einer (!) Tastatur im Büro funktioniert sie wunderbar. Das muss man erst mal hinbekommen. Zudem sind alle Knöpfe brav frei belegbar. Das Game selber ist kein sinnloser Buttonmasher, sondern erfordert ein wenig Einarbeitung - wie alle GUTEN Arena-Beat-Em-Ups. Am ehesten erinnert die Steuerung noch an Streetfighter 5 oder Mortal Kombat XI. Diverse schnelle, langsame, schwache, starke Tritte und Schläge; Würfe, Abwehr, Konter, Unterbrechungen, usw. Dazu Halbkreis und Kick (als Beispiel, ihr wisst schon was ich meine) für Specials. Funktioniert alles tadellos und verzögerungsfrei.

[h3][code]Das Spiel richtet sich klar an Puristen und Profis.[/code][/h3] Die komplexe Mechanik ist vielleicht angelehnt an Street Fighter EX - aber hat sie gekonnt erweitert und entschlackt gleichzeitig. Den Gegner und seine (sauberen Frames) Moves auszulesen ist schon der halbe Erfolgsgarant. Menschliche Spieler sind dabei unberechenbarer - gegen die stärkste KI (Hard) habe ich am Schluß sogar "PERFECT VICTORY" rauskitzeln können. Ergänzt wird es um ein"Gougi" System, eine Art Kartendeck mit Boni und Co. Dazu kommt hier ein Vorteil: Im Gegensatz zu den WIRKLICH GIERIGEN Fighting Games, die inklusive aller Charaktere und DLCs und ARENEN und Kostüme leicht mehrere (!) hundert EURO kosten können, kostet das Game hier quasi NICHTS!

This game is severely underrated. It's a very fun 2.5D fighter with a lot of depth thanks to the plethora of different system mechanics. It's simple on the surface, but deep when you really dig into it. Would absolutely recommend. Also, how long has it been 99 cents for? When did that happen?
great game but I can only recommend if you're cool with only playing it solo or with friends. The online is deader than a doornail
Many people would say "for such a cheap price, you get so much out of it", but I'd say the overall quality of this game is of such a mediocre level that, even being extremely cheap, there's no point in getting it. The sound is lame and generic, and there's no impact nor satisfaction to them. The graphics look good, but that's all thanks to some generic texture and prop assets (which, in layman terms, is to say it's not that hard to make a realistic-looking game if you know what you're doing), but if you don't like any aspect of the graphics, there are no settings to customize them (weird, since they made it in Unreal, so it should be easy to implement). The animations are cranky and robotic, and the attacks feel very mundane. Some characters are cool, but others are plain generic and weird and, for the most part, feel very poorly expressive. I hate how some of their names are plain random, like "Area" (???) I also hate how the 2D character illustrations look WAY cooler than the actual models, I feel like this game would easily be twice as appealing (which would still not be much) if they made it into a 2D fighter or maybe use a "drawing-like 3D" style like Guilty Gear and DBZ games. There are other nitpicks that I could mention, but, honestly, there's no point given how bad the fundamentals are. I would only recommend getting this game if you want to understand what makes a bad fighting game in practice, or maybe you really want to support the author, who I heard was a big shot in the industry that went indie. Otherwise, not worth getting, even if it was for free.
Bought On The Spring Sale For A Decent Price And I Would Say Due To It Being That Price it Was Worth The Spend. If This Older Game Was Over $3 I Would Of Passed.
I mean, I can't say I didn't get what I paid for. Fine enough fighting game with a completely dead online for a dollar. I can't be that mad.
For the price it's a solid fighting game. Some characters feel like street fighter clones, but I think it's pretty normal considering what the devs worked on in the past.
WORTH THE PRICE DROP, DESPITE DROUGHT OF CONTENT. This cost like a single game in actual arcade, and with the admission of 3 games you can afford Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. The Good (from best to least): +For something sized around 3gb the game looks pretty, especially the environments, what kind of compression trickery ARIKA used? +has training mode +programmable multiple button presses like most modern fighting games +It's a fighting game The Bad/Cons (from the worst to least worst): -GOUGI system is hard to explain, i thought at first it was an auto trigger -Progressive or "easy" combo is hard to explain -Uneven difficulty (as Pullum i continued twice due to SNK-boss-like final opponent, as the others, as long as i quickly grab, then i'm safe) -No way to set rounds -No way to have a simple 1v1 VS COM match with no arcade gauntlet -The semi realistic in game character models are hit or miss -No unique ending art -No subtitles Conclusion: Worth the permanent less-than-single-dollar price drop, especially how barebones this fighting game is as i've seen five generations worth of games bundled unlockable characters, art gallery, character story, and... Alternative: IDOL SHOWDOWN (completely free)
[h1] Once I'm through with this game I'm gonna jump into the next one! [/h1]
Having played Street Fighter EX2 (still own) and EX3 (sold), I knew I'd like this game, but there are some things I wish they would have included with an update but will never be included since this game is older, and those things are: 1. have an option for not displaying the matchmaking status at all times, 2. having actual arcade/vs options such a round times and amount of rounds needed to be won in order to finish the match. 3. lastly be able to play without those added enhancements that activate once a certain amount of seconds, certain amount of throws, etc. have been completed in a match. Other than those things, I'm glad I bought it and it's incredible Arika is selling it for less than a dollar, so as a way to show my appreciation, I went ahead and bought Terry as well.
