For 99 cents? a fighting game made by the guys that did the Street Fighter EX series back in the day you really can't go wrong.

For $1.00? Outrageous amount of fun to be had. Straight forward "Arcade port" style. Plus this game never really got popular so you feel like you're exploring unknown tech. And unlike the majority of fighters of this vintage, it was an early resident of the kingdom of rollbackia. If you enjoy fighting games just buy it, this feels like peak casual/fun/side game.

Steam pages says unsupported for deck but can confirm it works perfectly fine. Haven't played a whole lot yet but played a few Arcade matches and gameplay seems pretty fun so far!

It's not very flashy, movesets are quite small, and quite barebones and simple in terms of content. But its simplicity is its best strength. You've got neutral/footises-heavy gameplay, and you can go absolutely insane with combos once you get a good opening. So it's a good game for the more hardcore "old-school" fighting game fan or those looking or a plain, straight-to-the-point fighter, but not so much for a casual who wants lots of content. For me though? Love it. Perfect mix of skill and random bullshit (gougi) to keep me happy, all with characters and music I love. Gougi should be optional though. ...still don't understand why the updated Another Dash version is still exclusive to the Switch.

yall better buy, it's literally 99 cents. Ive played this for way more than the time shown also ps4 offline too. Here's to hoping the original FIGHTING LAYER from the 90's gets released along with the SF EX versions and the other versions of FEXL "dash' and 3d'ish movement one. Also release all TGM games. Just re-release everything Arika.
