Blade ARCS from Shining EX Japanese Ver.

If you collect games you should add this

-Blade Arcus is a spin-off fighting game based on the popular RPG series "Shining Hearts" which has had very few western releases. Most of the characters in the game are from previous shining games with the exception of 2 new characters created for the game. The main story in the game revolves around the two main characters Ryuga and Pairon, in between however there are many cameos in between fight rounds by other characters from prior games thrown in the mix to add variety to the story. The actual combat and gameplay during battles utilizes tag-based mechanics, where a player selects a main character as well as a secondary character (Tag partner). Players can only switch between the two different characters during rounds, but can also call on their partner for help using 'Link Attacks'. The only real weakness (disappointment for competitive players) of the game is not the battle system but the LACK of an online mode (NOT a typo) which may turnoff and annoy many but if you can look past that then you should be fine. Visually the game is the same as its PS3 counterpart however it is slightly sharper on the character animations and the loading times are much quicker than the PS3 version. This game definitely is for fans of the series and old school fighting game enthusiasts who don't mind if there isn't an online mode. Highly recommended.

Something new

It’s pretty good for an older 2d fighting game. It’s a little hard to get into the older ones when cross tag battle and Db fighter z is out.

Other than the novelty of having a Japanese import game, there's nothing great about this. It's not a good fighting game whatsoever. It's not the worst, but it's nothing spectacular. Plus the character assist feature is misleading and improperly done. Your second character comes out to do an attack and that's it. It doesn't play like Marvel vs Capcom 2 where your second and third characters can assist you as well as serve as your primary fighter. The graphics are really nice, I'll give it that, but they're not enough to justify a purchase. Ultimately, unless you're a huge fan of the characters in this game (based off an anime), stay away from this one.

It’s no Million Arthur Arcana Blood but it’s alright.

Great fighting game no online mode

Basic 2d fighter.Nothing special but not bad.

Buen juego. Llegó bien y en tiempo

セガのゲームは元々好きですかコンテツが少女が多い作品は珍しいかなと購入しました、内容は良いと思います技も出しやすいし

Gran juego, a un costo accesible, eso sí, viene en japonés.

シャイニングシリーズのキャラ達が作品の枠を超えて大戦闘！シリーズを彩ったイラストも多数収録されています｡ただ入手できることもある､というのはどうも…｡キャラクターとしては裏雪姫とアルティナが良いですね。ストーリーとしてはローゼリンデ。切ない!
