    All in all, BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is a great 2D fighter that has plenty of depth with easy to learn mechanics. Believe it or not, the simple five button input system is intuitive enough when using a single Joy-Con for some quick on the go rivalry. The game looks lovely on the portable home console’s small screen too, making those table top matches feel even more like a coin-op experience.

    BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is an utterly accomplished 2D fighting game. Bursting with content and featuring the visual spectacle of combat that uses up every single trick in the book while doing so with the possibility of calling up a second character into the fray on demand sets Arc System Works title as the de facto current generation game fighting game to own on the Nintendo Switch.

    With BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Arc has delivered yet another enjoyable experience which cements them as a premier fighting game developer. The game manages to be simple enough that beginners can enjoy, but supply enough systems to sate veterans of the genre. Unfortunately the Switch is not the hardware where you would get the most out of this title.

    BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle has some issues, but the gameplay is exciting and deep enough that fans of any of the franchises on display here will have a good time.

    BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is a great and frenetic fighting game designed to please both veteran fans and novice players who want to start playing deeper games. In general, we have a game that’s easy to play, but difficult to master and, as most titles, requires time and patience to improve, but it’s very satisfying when achieved.

    A light and pleasant fighting game, designed for newcomers of the genre who are approaching anime fighter for the first time.

    Imagine bringing the Blazblue characters and Persona 4 Arena characters together in a single fighting game hitting and kicking ... and nothing else

    The bad:
    The imbalance of the most tactical Blazblue characters and the "easy combo" characters in Persona 4 Arena. Recycle the sprites from their base games, not even the Persona characters were redeemed to look less pixelated. The effects are poorly mapped to in games where the cancel guard or burst do not appear. The story is just an anecdote, it seems that they have put a lot of effort into the game.

    The Meh:
    This game seems "with minimal effort" to bring together Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and Blazeblue Chronophantasm and Blazblue Central Fiction in both gameplay and characters makes it a strange hybrid    … Expand

Fighting game developers are getting more and more greedy pertaining to content (or lack there of). First the story mode is interesting, however, once finished, there is nothing left to do (Switch version-online=failure). Moreover, no Arcade mode (really), meaning no individual character (or pairing) story (this needs patched in--Arc System you already have twenty dollar pay wall with the characters--there better not be a pay to play Arcade mode). Overall, severely disappointed (the mechanics are too simplistic as my wife can pull off insane combos and she never had played a fighting game before); the game feels hollow...I would hold and wait for a price drop, but fighting novices might enjoy this rather empty game). For Switch owners though, this is the best we get for now...unfortunately.… Expand

    Never again in my life do I buy Arc System games. Where's the arcade mode in that game? Game companies increasingly mercenary and lazy. TheNever again in my life do I buy Arc System games.
