Keep in mind GG2 was made in 2007 so it does show its age in game design and execution. That being said... the game is unique and sits in a very small selection of games I'm even aware about. That being a Hybrid Action RTS. Similar games would be Brutal Legend which launched 2 years after this and Kingdom Under Fire Crusaders/Heroes released 2/3 years before this. You play as a character on the field, opening your map-menu called the Organ to build and command your units. On the field is a very akin to a 3D arena fighter. Locking on makes it closer to a fighting game with more direction inputs, launchers, combos, ect. Mode wise the game is pretty good with its offering. Campaign offers some good challenges and some harsh difficulty spikes, effectively working as a tutorial as your drip fed mechanics and units like every other RTS game. Those wanting to learn a little faster can hop into free missions which have 2 direct tutorial offerings but not as in depth but will get you playing the game. Skirmish is fun, but be aware the AI cheats a LOT... I don't think they have resources. Training is your typical fighting game affair to practice combos. Lastly you have online battles which I'm gonna be blunt, this is a discord game, don't expect getting anything from match making. And last but not least...the only drawback is the port. This is as bare bones as it gets. A lot of settings are gonna be done via ini changes. The game runs great, don't get me wrong but modifying things is.... *f u n*. Rule of thumb is if it had a menu on the Xbox, it has a proper menu here. If it didn't have an xbox menu, go dig in the ini for it. Oh one thing to note for new players who are not as experienced in these kind of games; Organ wait is your friend, opening your map pauses the game and lets you plan things out and look through things. Organ Assist... is questionable, because it tries to automate your units but you would learn better for playing with friends playing this proper. Practicing build orders, getting used to issuing commands, ect.

Sadly an overlooked game in the series due to its status as an RTS game. I was not overwhelmingly familiar with the genre when I played, but I found myself having an immense amount of fun, despite traditionally being a fighting game player. If you are a guilty gear player, this game is fundamental to the series' story and the RTS gameplay is not as janky or strange as it may seem. If you are an RTS player, give the game a shot! It's on sale often and from what I know, I think it offers a unique take on the genre and the story is still interesting even if you don't know the story of the rest of the series.

Actually pretty fun, has difficulty to it- a storyline that.... I don't quite comprehend due to starting on Guilty Gear Blazblue and then... getting this hah.... I like it though- it's definitely not the 2d fighter the other entries have been. Definitely is story-driven, if you like somewhat of a MOBA style game, this is it. 7/10 So far!

I only played the story mode so far and i'm glad that they didn't just decide to erase it from existence. A lot of modern Guilty Gear's story is based on things introduced in this game. Artistically, this game is really cool, and if that's enough to make a game worth buying then you will probably like it :] Also I think Izuna should come back. Even if he's just in the background or something. please ArcSys <3
