    This is definitely a great fighting game, worthy to be known and enjoyable by everyone, but probably if you are fans of the genre you might have already tried it in one of its many incarnations.

    This is a masterpiece of 2d fighting games (just as much as Street Fighter III: 3rd strike was).

    Gameplay is where this game excels. I'd    This is a masterpiece of 2d fighting games (just as much as Street Fighter III: 3rd strike was).

    Gameplay is where this game excels. I'd say that game's mechanics are halfway from Street Fighter and BlazBlue: the game is linear just like SF, but there are nice additions like air-dashes, double jumps, faultless defence, (false) roman cancels. Also, a few characters use strange gameplay styles but none of them are screen invasive (like BlazBlue) and btw there still are common move combinations that will work on every char (with different outcomes of course) so also complete noobs may enjoy the game.
    As for how much technical is the game, well, it IS technical, and you'll get to enjoy that a lot.

    Now, about the graphic there's not much to say, it's awesome. Character design is the best out there IMHO, animations are fluid and backgrounds are nice. Also, effects are not invasive, and that's really important for me.

    Sound part may be tricky. Game's music belongs to the power metal genre ('80s style) and it's really good. I personally don't like power metal (actually I don't like the whole metal genre) but I have to say that the songs pair with the game so perfectly that even if you hate metal you may still enjoy that kind of background music when fighting.

    Now let's talk about flaws.
    Game design flaws: the tier list counts S (or even more) ranked chars (only Eddie's air kick actually) and E (or at least almost E) chars. For a fighting game a tier list going S+ > D-(E) is quite bad.
    Game port flaws: the game ported to steam is the same game that was ported to PC years ago, meaning there is no steam integration of any kind (and there never will be probably). While the game itself is a nice port, 2014 players may feel like something is missing.

    Bonus time.
    Even if this game has no netplay you can play it online thanks to a fan made patch that enables a perl based netplay (with the necessary skills everyone can host a server) which works really well and, btw, after like more than a decade there is still people playing this awesome game online.    … Expand

    Pros
    +Story mode consists of 3 different arcs for each character - depending on how you play and how long each fight takes, the path changes and the ending along with it
    +Game consists of many modes such as Story, Arcade, Mission, Survival and MOM (which is like survival but you get medals which heal you when doing combos), 2P versus, Online - pretty much what you would expect in a fighter unlike the Isuka version
    +Visuals and resolution look a lot better in this game than Isuka - the PC version offers a exe boot up that actually gives you better graphic options before playing the game
    +Gallery mode allows you to check out artwork, cutscenes and endings for characters you played as alongside you can listen to the OST.
    +The OST has a lot of memorable tracks and is well made for the game - fits well with the themes of the stages that you get to fight in.

    Cons
    -The story mode puts you through certain requirements to continue in fights such as using only Supers or special attacks on enemies - this can provide a challenge but at the same time can be an annoyance    … Expand
