One hell of a side scrolling beat em up, but plays like a single player anime fighter. Tons of people say this game is too difficult, but you really have to know how to combo well and crowd control if you want to beat it all the way through. Fatal Sync into Gold Burst into Fatal Sync gameplay loop makes you cut through mobs like butter! Really good design, art direction, and voice acting. Check it out!

Aye yo can we get a sequel to this? This game is a 2.5D character action game. If you like stylish 00s era action games check this out. It's a fresh take on the genre. EDIT: I have finished this game, and I have no plans atm to get all of the achievements. I recommend this game for fans of the character action genre, GG fans, fighting game fans and or anyone who enjoys challenging games with incredibly in depth mechanics. I really loved this game, and it's story, artwork, music and I really do hope that we get a sequel. The late game is a bit of challenge, and I get what people are saying about the hitstun as enemies can and will do some crazy ass wombo combos on ya. I recommend checking out some steam guides as the dev's really didn't explain the in game mechanics that well. I'm not cold at this game (you can see on the leaderboard for that) or anything but I was able to do some pretty stylish combos and long combos that I found fun. All in all pick this game up and have fun!

phenomenal game with heavy flaws, not even close to being for everyone. to start with the bad; defensively you're quite weak. air teching gives you no i-frames, making you often tech into an incoming attack with little way to consistently defend yourself outside of attempting a parry or bursting. blue bursting is actively disincentivized as well, as it locks you out of your essential fatal sync loops. pair that with every late game fight being ornstein & smough if there were 58 ornsteins, and you have a game that REALLY tests your patience. besides that? ♥♥♥♥ this game is good. PSX eyecandy artstyle, quality voice acting, sandbox combos that live up to their inspirations and reward you for learning intricaties with the video game equivalent of the free bird solo. This yaoi ♥♥♥♥ serious.

The game's identity, theming and visual style are clear, and I am glad to support the folks behind it. I enjoyed seeing this game, and want more stuff like it to exist. This is a good piece of art, and if that speaks to you, I definitely recommend it. The gameplay, while mostly competent, does leave a few things lacking. It tries to blend beat-em-up crowd control with the intimacy and technicality of a fighting game. This mostly works; the combat system does feel satisfying when you get going, and the ever-escalating combo sound is delightful. When you time your reactions and flawlessly convert a punish into strings, the game really sings. Enemies, however, have no need to plan and react to you. They can just kinda throw out hitboxes or command grabs and corner carry you left to right to left again with no finesse. The expectations of precision on the player do not hold for the opposition, and that can feel really unfair. I got strongly soured in the last few stages of the game because there were ten straight seconds of attacks that simply could not be reacted to. The system gets messy when pushed to its limits. That's really part of the appeal, though. It's not perfect, but certainly glad it's here.
