Jan. 2025

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!

Can anyone port this Solange back to Code of Princess/EX? I was worry about the low frame rate movement of characters in this fighting game. But, this is a casual fighting game, not a hardcore/e-sport ready one. So, it is fine here.

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.

Easy to pick up and the offline play feels snappy. The online is dead, but while on sale I would say this is worth it if you have friends to play with. Story mode is nothing to write home about, but it is a fighter so what do you expect? I also love all the characters added from other games, where else are you going to have The Binding Of Isaac fight a big boob knight?

March 2024

you know, this should be a thumbs down since movement is janky, the music feels empty, there's an overall lack of content, etc. but i can make curly brace from cave story fight isaac from the binding of isaac and shovel knight says his name like shoveru nito
