Designed by the RareBreed Makes Games studio for Aksys Games, this title will try to strike the nostalgia chord by betting on a pixel art well crafted, while offering mechanics worthy of today’s fighting games. Thus Blazing Strike is based on a grip with four buttons but six variants of blows (weak, medium, strong) and three options in defense – block, guard and parry.
An emergency maneuver allows belligerents to launch faster movements, at the sacrifice of a gauge and under the threat of a temporary stun. Three game modes are announced, between story mode, arcade mode and Versus, without forgetting the training also accessible online, before facing other opponents thanks to the rollback netcode GGPO going well.
A limited edition including art-book, soundtrack on 2 CDs and character card game will also be available to accompany the release.
