    Koihime Enbu is a solid fighting game. We would like to have a few more characters, but apart from that, it's a really interesting title for 2D-fighting lovers.

    Koihime Enbu is a solid, old school fighter with a strong foundation that taps into the nostalgia of a bygone era.

    Koihime Enbu is a surprisingly well-designed fighter and, while it might not shake up the industry, has very little wrong with it and quite a lot going for it.

    Koihime Enbu is a simple beat'em up for the fans of the visual novel.

    Despite the few negative things mentioned, Koihime Enbu is still a fantastic anime fighter and a great addition to the fighting genre. All of the different female characters are animated beautifully, the voices are done very well, and overall the gameplay is fluid and nearly perfect. Perhaps a quick ironing out of the strange multiplayer glitch and confusing controls will make Koihime Enbu get its well-deserved spot next to the classic fighting games that we all know and love.

    Koihime Enbu’s a decent little brawler, though it doesn’t do enough to stand out from the crowd apart from its all-female cast. As such, it comes moderately recommended for fighting game enthusiasts who want to jump into something new, but it’s a much harder sell to a more casual demographic.

    In the wake of Street Fighter 5 games like Koihime Enbu have a decent chance to find their fans. The counter focused fighting system is rock solid, but the lack of content drags this beat-em-up down.

    I applaud the developers for focusing on making an accessible fighting game. It is even more of a bonus that it plays extremely well and looks fantastic. Combine that with the fact that I can use my fight sticks on the PC to play it, and one would think it would be a dream come true. Sadly, the lack of interesting characters and modes to play, not to mention a barren online community, make this one fighting game that is hard to recommend.

    If you're looking for a fighting game with a back-to-basics approach, then Koihime Enbu fits the bill. It's a title that rewards solid fundamentals and one that's easy to get into. A lack of modes hurts its long-term value, but the core gameplay is plenty of fun.

    Way to overpriced for this content.

    The animations look cheap if compared with other 2D anime style fighting games. But what bothers me
    Way to overpriced for this content.

    The animations look cheap if compared with other 2D anime style fighting games.
    But what bothers me the most is, that all chars have only like 3,4 basic skills, and then some that can be used with the energy gauge filled up. And most of the skill commands are almost the same patterns.
