    With Clash of Elementalists, what you see is literally what you get. While it has potential to be an interesting concept for a fighting game, the lack of playability, as well as frustrating camera and control issues, make it hard to get attached to.

    Clash of Elementalists may look like an interesting title, but its high difficulty and learning curve make its relatively meager offerings even less appealing. This is not a game worth spending hours becoming proficient at.

    Given Clash of Elementalists's fiddly controls and dearth of content, the best thing about it is that it's mercifully short.

    Had a fluid, responsive, competent combat system been implemented, Clash of Elementalists could have been a solid way to kill some time here and there. However, the broken control scheme and lack of variety make this one best left alone.

    It's a Virtual On clone (down to the control layout and game mechanics lifted directly from Virtual On Oratorio Tangram on the Dreamcast)...It's a Virtual On clone (down to the control layout and game mechanics lifted directly from Virtual On Oratorio Tangram on the Dreamcast)... but with only 4 characters.
    The graphics are pretty decent, but again, there's only 4 characters. The controls are... well, they're Oratorio Tangram's pad controls. They're not intuitive at all, but since I've played a bunch of VOOT on the DC, it was really easy to get into the groove of things.

    Seriously though, there's so little content here. It's a painfully barebones clone of a better game.
    It's really easy, too. I cranked all the settings up, max rounds, max difficulty, and still cleared the game without too much trouble, trying to eke out a little more worth.
    Alternate characters with slightly different moves, a boss, missions, more than four fights... pretty much anything more than what we got would have made this a bit worth picking up. It's so barebones.

    The graphics are okay, at least. That's it.    … Full Review »
