If you like horror and you like fighting games, you CANNOT miss this game! It's SUCH a cool entry into the genre with some really neat characters. I main Animus, he's maybe one of my favorite fighting game characters ever? Gameplay is fun with each character being really interesting and unique. There's a tree guy who can transform his limbs, and a giant worm which is SUPER unique I can't think of many fighting game characters with a similar body type. Stages are also very unique and fittingly creepy between things like a haunted attic and a creepy hellish prison. Music kicks ass, all characters have unique stories, the final boss is brutal. It's the perfect fighting game if you enjoy creepy aesthetics in non-horror games!

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.
