Guilty Gear Isuka

The black sheep of the series and only now do I understand why. Not only does it not want to run well out of a fresh install… but it plays terribly too. Trying to change window sizes, resolutions, and trying to get a controller or leverless to work were all battles each on their own. Even when I got my leverless to work… I found I could not switch directions without throwing or being thrown. Of course once I got everything mostly functioning I felt that the game was more of a beat ‘em up than a fighting game… Imagine my surprise when there is a mode just like that and plays wayyyyyy better than the story/arcade. The arcade mode is absurdity incarnate. You don’t go up a bracket but instead get to the next fighter by leveling up during your fights. After so many levels you start to fight increasingly difficult opponents and even multiple at a time. It gets chaotic to say the least and whatever was meant to be the health bar… well it was lost to me. If you manage to get through the onslaught of chaotic battle all the way to level 100… you face the boss. Dear lord does this boss suck as it’s only damagable part is at jumping attack height and it has many attacks to push you back and/or ignore yours. I’ll give the boss credit, it’s definitely a unique design. Frankly, after the arcade mode I was only willing to give the beat ‘em up mode a bit of my time before shelving the game for good. The experience was just that awful. It was only during the beat ‘em up mode that I realize there was a button specifically for switching direction… though I don’t think it ever worked on my actual arcade run anyways. Fighter of Choice: Bridget Pros: ??? (Beat 'em up mode was kinda alright) Cons: Arcade and gameplay in general.

Есть бриджет. Порвали жопу геймплеем на четверых.

IT HAS ROBERT KYLE 2 IN THE GAME! Anyways, I had a lot of fun playing the game IF I treat it as a party game. By fighting game standards, it has a lot of cheap/silly moves that may as well be removed. With that, of course, Robo-Ky MK-II's arcade mode is why I played the game. If you want to experience the only time Robo-Ky MK-II is in a game, and why Japanese fans love him enough to be in MUGEN, go play it. We robos love every single Robo-Ky(s).

It's fun

Bom, depois de jogar o primeiro e o X2 #Reload, agora entendo porque existem tantas críticas negativas neste jogo. Bom, o port é parecido com o do X2, então tem que ficar configurando controle, me fazendo de novo voltar aos guias do Steam. O jogo é parecido com o X2 até você ficar de costas para seu oponente e, acredite, é preciso apertar uma p**** de um botão para seu personagem se virar, o pior é a movimentação te jogar mais pra frente e avançar o oponente e ter que ficar apertando o botão de novo, tudo bem que é um spin-off, mas dava pra ter testando o quão desastroso ficou esse sistema. As lutas de quatro (lá ele) não têm nenhum brilho, você nunca se movimenta de forma fluída como a IA. Aí você vai caçando os modos novos e encontra um beat em up dentro do jogo (um dos meus gêneros favoritos), os inimigos são aqueles sprites mais genéricos do mundo, mas até aí beleza, eis que você descobre que precisa apertar o mesmo botão pra virar para o outro lado (mano do céu, que tranqueira) enquanto a IA dos inimigos sempre ficam te acertando pelas costas e que vão ficando cada vez mais frenéticos. Sabendo que existem outros Guilty Gear extremamente superiores, esse aqui é aquele jogo que só joguei por estar conhecendo a série, e confesso que nunca mais irei revisitar.

Might be the worst guilty gear in the franchise

👍

Bought it on sale a while ago when I thought it'd be funny to buy. Tried it with a friend after showing him GGXXAC+R for first time. First thing we noticed is that two of the standard controller buttons just didn't work in button config, meaning we couldn't map it like a normal Guilty Gear game. R2 and L2 were not available, and it drove us mad. The turn button was a necessary but super clunky new feature. You'd think 4 player Guilty Gear XX would be interesting it just doesn't cut the mustard. I'm aware it has a unique final boss but I don't really care enough. At least it has unique music and stages. If you want Guilty Gear save your money for things like +R, Xrd Rev2, Strive DLC, XX Reload and maybe even Xrd Sign... but mostly +R and Rev2.
