Pros & Cons

  • the box is pretty, accessible fighting system, crazy characters, and a fantastic price, fun combat system
  • i could keep going, not enough people play, control response, a little too safe, playing elements pointless

Apart from the fast paced combat and super responsive controls it’s the unique graphics engine used that sets it apart from the rest. Battle Fantasia is played in two-dimensions but uses three-dimensional polygonal character models cleverly illustrated and lit to emulate 2D style sprites. The result is called ‘2.5D’ and delivers an amazingly fast and fluid fighting game that will satisfy novice players and hardcore fans alike! With an impressive roster of unique chara…

    Developed by arcade veterans Arc System Works Battle Fantasia is like no other fighter thanks to its unique cast of fantasy inspired characters alongside a storyline and script that stays true to its Japanese heritage and manga roots. In keeping with the fantasy themes of the game Battle Fantasia also has elements familiar to fans of role-playing games. Instead of having a standard health bar characters have hit-points that drain away as they take damage. As a result... Read more

    At this point in time the competition is unavoidable. Street Fighter IV has been on shelves for weeks and dominates the genre with ease, and it’s likely that Battle Fantasia was lost amongst the spinning bird kicks. It’s a shame too because the game is worth a look. Unlike a lot of fighters, Battle Fantasia isn’t easy to pick up and play despite a simplified control set. There are no medium strength attacks, only weak and strong. Each of the characters, from a... Read more

    Battle Fantasia is a game by Arc System Works , the very same team behind the Guilty Gear series. Battle Fantasia was released ages before console version of Street Fighter IV in all other territories but here we get the game roughly two months later. With Street Fighter IV being all the rage these days, is Battle Fantasia still worth checking out? Battle Fantasia plays a lot like Street Fighter IV in the sense that it is a fun and accessible fighting game that does not... Read more

    I had fairly high hopes when I bought this game, being a long time fan of old and current JRPGs. I thought this was an interesting idea, creating a fighting game primarily marketed to JRPG fans, and thought it held alot of potential. I was very, very wrong in these beliefs. The voice acting, which is all in original Japanese, is absolutely horrible! I couldn't believe that the original Japanese on a game could be worse than some of the awful English dubings I've heard... Read more

    Really not an impressive game, Generally i love the 2d fighters but this one just does nothing new or even do what it should do well. Uninspired characters,Badly balanced,Repetitive game play. Would not recommend to anyone. Read more

    I had pretty high expectation since this is the same people that brought guilty gear to life. That being said this game is plagued with sub par graphics, a fighting engine that feels like all of you characters are knee deep in mud and fighting to move. Read more
