Superb beat-em-up, a rare genre on the PC. Would urge anyone to give it a go at this price.
I'm not THAT much into fighting games anymore, but I used to play them a lot and I really like this one's style. And for 2 bucks? Heh... Grabbed.
I hadn't even notice that game before. GOG's catalogue is indeed getting bigger.
A couple of questions for the knowledgeable .
Is it like a street fighter type of game or more like a side scrolling beat 'em up?
And is it enjoyable without a gamepad?
I'm definitely curious, and almost willing to bite. Can anyone tell me how newbie friendly the game is? For comparison, the only fighting game I've ever managed to understand was Soul Calibur 2.

It's more like Street Fighter as far as I know.

A good deal, but not my kind of game. Roll on next next Wednesday? ^_^

Edit: Thanks to WrathOfTheAngels, I get to try this. I suck at fighting games, but they're fun when I don't get curb stomped repeatedly. Hope the AIs in this aren't too hard.

Everyone should buy this amazing game, even if just for the soundtrack.

Just a shame that the third party network patch doesn't work with the english version.
well this sure looks nice, but does it have online multipayer?
i don't really have who to play it with at home.
Is this at least on par with King of Fighters?

It does have online if you manage to find the japanese version. There might be a patch for english versions out now, though, as it was a very long time since I last looked.
The netcode is even better than BlazBlue's.
What is the girl on the third shot doing?

grviper: What is the girl on the third shot doing?
It's Japanese, I don't think you want to know.

(Maybe it's a spell to summon tentacles!)

What's that pink thing on the floor behind her? And why is she blushing?
