Broken in the fun sense of the word. Each character plays extremely different than the rest, enough to justify the small roster. Short yet good story, amazing art and animations, nice ost. A worthy package, even at full price. Back in the MUGEN days this game felt out of place, it was an real piece of art and an actual game in a sea of shitposting and asset ripoffs. Now with a proper engine, rebalance and some visual rework, it stands the test of time as a solid fighting game in this modern era, more than 15 years later from its original release.

An old one but good one. The controls are solid, and many of the finishers are not only brutal but also fun to watch. There's also a watch mode in case you want to run CPU VS CPU tournaments. It's not very often you see games with this look and feel. So really worth a look.

I love playing this game again after playing it so long ago on MUGEN. This version of The Black Heart is the best version as there's more content, the game is more polished, and some small improvements on how the sprites and maps look compared to the original. Also there are more maps, Final unlockable, a joke character and more. Actually amazing this game was made by one (1) person as well.

I played around with this game back when it was a mugen game, and even back then these characters set a standard that no other mugen character or game has met. I'm happy to say that's even more evident in this version. Unlockable characters, a joke character, playable boss, full over arching story, fun characters, great art style, it has it all. also the soundtrack hits so good. it's my favorite fighting game and i hope others use this as a benchmark when making their own, mugen engine or not. you owe it to yourself to get this game. also def use peketo to unlock the secret character. trust me.
