I've been on a fighting game journey these past months. This is one of the most laid back, simple ass, beginner friendly fighting games i've ever played. It could have been a hit.

A really cool and unique fighting game! There's a lot of interesting and easy to pick up characters from a couple of different indie titles, most of which were published by Nicalis with a few guests. Also I just wanna say the presentation is very goofy. They made Shovel Knight swole as hell and gave him a deep voiced Japanese voice actor, and just LOOK at Isaac lmao. If you like fighting games or any any of the games these characters are from like Cave Story, you'll have a good time with this game. Also for those that suck with fighting game execution, worry not! There are ZERO motion inputs in this game and its all intuitive direction inputs, similar to Smash Bros, but like an actual tradtional 2D fighting game.

Yea like it's pretty fun, but the steam charts are a flat line, so don't expect any online play. Story is fun, and I'd comment on the multiplayer if I had any friends If you're coming from the binding of isaac, and are just here because isaac is in the game, you probably aren't gonna enjoy it much, but it's cheap enough on sale

I think this game is awesome. I waited years to play it and no one really plays it online now but the gameplay and the characters and even the kind of lame story mode are all really fun. This game is actually very similar to a game that came later Gran Blue Fantasy Vs. The controls are similar without the meter stuff. I think the game is really fun but hey it's kind of dead. It's out there though and if you and your friend wanna try it out then go do it!

Blade Strangers es un interesante y atractivo título de peleas que integra a varios personajes de franquicias como Code of Princess, Cave Story, Umihara Kawase, Gunvolt y Shovel Knight, sumados a un par de personajes originales creados específicamente para el título. En muy pocas ocasiones tenemos la oportunidad de ver juegos indie representados en un crossover como el que nos ofrece Blade Strangers, la buena noticia es que es un juego de peleas bastante pulido con la mezcla perfecta entre sencillez y complejidad como para que tanto veteranos del género y jugadores casuales puedan disfrutarlo sin problemas. Cada personaje cuenta con un set de movimientos bastante idóneo a su concepto de origen ofreciendo variedad para todo estilo de juego. Cuenta con un modo historia que intenta justificar la coexistencia de todos estos personajes de diferentes universos con una trama que se limita a ofrecer unas cuantas líneas de diálogo diferentes para cada uno. A esto se le suma una pequeña cantidad de exposición sobre una simulación controlada por máquinas que está en peligro por una especie de virus representado por uno de los personajes originales, que a su vez actúa como jefe final. Este modo no ofrece mucho ya que es básicamente el modo Arcade clásico (que también está disponible) con unas cuantas escenas de diálogo añadidas. Por lo demás, cuenta con todos los modos de juego que uno esperaría de un juego de peleas como lo son el de entrenamiento, desafíos, versus y la posibilidad de jugar en línea. Es un juego que tiene el potencial de convertirse en una franquicia por sí solo, sin embargo, es poco probable que se destinen esfuerzos a continuar desarrollando secuelas. Blade Strangers se disfruta mucho mientras se juega, y eso lo hace un título altamente recomendable, sobre todo si te gusta alguno de los personajes que aparece en el roster, ya que no es fácil verlos en otro ambiente diferente al de sus respectivos títulos, y eso es lo atractivo.
