Jun 13, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd returns to the first line of fighting games, with the virtues that make it one of the best fighting games of this generation. Revelator brings new characters, new story, new mechanics and a unique visual excellence.
-
Jun 13, 2016It’s an absolute joy to play and one that I believe will stand head and shoulders above the rest of the anime fighting game crowd for some time to come.
-
Jun 11, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- is easily the king of fighting games released up to this point, at least in this generation. It's not only accessible for new players but keeps the hardcore players satisfied as well.
-
Jun 12, 2016An excellent fighting game no matter how you slice it complete with superbly detailed yet very accessible and inviting training modes that can take you from total newcomer to master if you put the time into it. Fighting fans can't miss this one.
-
Jun 6, 2016Those who already have Xrd may want to wait for a price drop since there isn’t a ton of new content, but if you’re jonesing for more Guilty Gear, then this is an outstanding entry in the series and well-worth your time.

CD-ActionSep 17, 2016While other fighting games gradually sink into boring schemes, Guilty Gear still swims against the tide, offering an original, very complex but enjoyable combat system. [09/2016, p.51]
-
Aug 24, 2016Revelator makes a rock-solid case for consideration as the best fighter of this generation so far. [Issue#177, p.85]
-
Jul 13, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator looks gorgeous and its gameplay is still a great example of how anime fighting games should be. If you're still suffering for the awful Pal version of Guilty Gear Xrd Sign, this is your best chance to smile again.
-
Jul 7, 2016Arc System Works delivered what might be the best story mode ever created for a fighting game and a battle system so deep and rewarding, that make this game the strongest contender for “Fighting Game of the Year”.
-
Jun 26, 2016The online is worthy of special mention, as it’s arguably the most important factor when it comes to a fighting game’s longevity. Fortunately, Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator nails this aspect admirably. The netcode is solid, with even games held between Japan and the UK offering decent matches.
-
Jun 23, 2016Another perfect example of how to upgrade an already magnificent fighting game with new characters, game modes and other stuff.
-
Jun 21, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator is a fantastic fighting game. It offers a very deep gameplay that you can learn and master via the excellent training mode, and gorgeous graphics and characters. Thumbs up.
-
Jun 17, 2016Guilty Gear XRD Revelator feels more like an expansion than a legitimate sequel, but this isn’t a bad thing, as the fighting is still highly engaging and the numerous teaching materials allow newer players to get up to speed nicely.
-
Jun 7, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd is continuing to stand out as the game that deserves to bask in the spotlight. -Revelator- doesn’t reinvent the wheel the way -Sign- did, but it does add a significant amount of content and gloss to what was already awesome.
-
Jun 5, 2016If you already own Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, you may have to take a harder look at this improved package, but for everyone else, this is one of the very best fighters on the market.
-
Jun 3, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd returns with more characters, more features, a revamped combat system for new players and all new storylines. Gameplay is fundamentally unchanged but it's just better than before.
-
Jun 30, 2016Guilty Gear -REVELATOR- is a must with its very deep gameplay, which can be confusing at times, but hopefully a good tutorial is there to guide the player into the finer points. The fans will also enjoy this game thanks to the plethora of new characters.
-
Jun 21, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd: -Revelator- is a nostalgic look back on the golden age of fighting games that also manages to wrangle a ton of modern digital beauty and function into the mix. The result is a top notch fighting title that begs to be mastered.
-
Jun 10, 2016If you missed SIGN, you can't miss Revelator. One way or another, Guilty Gear Xrd is one of the best fighting games of the last few years.
-
Jun 24, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator will have zero complaints from new and experienced players, but Xrd Sign players who are less bothered about roster updates will find less to enjoy.
-
Jun 28, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd –Revelator- makes some amazing innovations in tutorials, lobbies, modes, and new characters that no one will notice because there simply isn’t enough here to warrant purchasing the game again at full price. It’s a shame, too, because many fighting games can learn from its exhaustive teaching tools.
-
Jun 22, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator is a fantastic fighting package offering lots to love for both series fans and newcomers alike. This is a flashy, modern fighter which boasts both gameplay depth and an anachronistic punk aesthetic.
-
Jun 15, 2016Ultimately, Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator demonstrates a high caliber fighting experience met with a dazzling, charming scenery to match. While the barrier to entry was slightly lowered compared to other entries in the series, the heaps of subtitles and incoherent plot may ward off players looking for story substance.
-
Jun 10, 2016Some of the modes we’ve come to expect from fighting games such as score and time attack may be missing, but there’s no disputing that Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator deserves to be up there with the heavy-hitters in the genre.
-
Jun 9, 2016If you’re looking to get into beat-em-ups and can stomach anime and J-rock then this is a good place to start your education.
-
Jun 8, 2016Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- serves as a worthy expansion/sequel to Sign in many ways.
-
Jun 7, 2016It’s training tools raise the bar at which other fighters are measured to, and it’s a real triumph in that regard. Whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer, there’s a lot to learn here.
-
Jun 7, 2016While it was easy to ignore the first time around, nearly two years later this non-starter of a mode stings a bit more. Sure, the core is just as strong as ever and arcade mode still exists, but even with that in mind, Revelator's new narrative isn't even compelling.
-
Jun 7, 2016Still the best looking fighting game around, and although this isn’t a full sequel its new features and extra fighters still make it a welcome update.
-
Jul 24, 2016As a fighting game fan, having new systems to learn has been great fun and the design of the characters and the world is instantly enjoyable if you like Japanese fighting games and/or anime. With the detailed tutorial and introduction of the Stylish control mode, it’s far more approachable for new players, but the complexity of the story and how little it does to help people jump on quickly may rub people the wrong way.
