Recommend an arcade stick since some moves are finicky with a controller. But this comes with some caveats. First of all the single…

The game lives up to its hardcore reputation and brings new mechanics and a lot of depth to the table. If you can pass the “cute girls” aesthetic, you’ll find a lot to enjoy here. “But what makes Arcana Heart so special?”, you might be thinking. Two things: the homing mechanic and arcanas for the characters. The homing mechanic consists in a…

unlabelledView post →I bought this originally because I did not know that Six Stars was it's own seperate game on steam. Six Stars is the same game with more content and still gets updates. I do not recommend Love Max solely because Six Stars exists.

Sadly the fact that the game looks like it's made for middle-school kids will make people pass this by without second glance which is sad considring how enjoyable this fighter is. There are 28 playable female characters - every one of them truly unique and none of them borrowing moves from another. Probably…

unlabelledView post →I really, REALLY wanted to play this game. I really did! And it worked completely fine... Until I tried to play with my friend. Then the game decided to crap itself and drops its framerate to record lows. I did some snooping around and found out that the problem was the anime side bars. Unfortunately, some poor soul forgot to give us the option to turn off these cursed things for the TWO MODES that people actually play: Netplay and Versus. If you wanna train, go ahead! Wanna play the story? It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect PC port. Loads extremely fast and more than enough options for typical setups. Really hope they port the latest one though - this one's one version behind.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR - Great game for offline with controllers, bad port and netcode. Arcana Heart 3 innovates on the fighting game genre with it's flight mechanics, Arcana strikers and constantly refilling Arcana gauge. The homing flight button allows for crazy aerial menuvering and in the right hands can become a deadly weapon. After selecting a character, the player has to select an Arcana, which is similar to Stands in the Jojo universe. Pretty much a beast that the player character summons to cast…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game fixes itself to 144hz if you have a monitor capable of such framerates. This also means that the game runs at 2.2x speed in fullscreen. Putting it to windowed mode and changing my refresh rate to 60 makes the game playable, but stuttery. Mechanically it's ok, but nothing spectacular. The homing system is fun, the characters are cliched and you've seen the movesets from different games. The variable arcana systems are cool, but as a newb, I can't see their impact straight from the…

That's 576 different combinations to work with making every character A tier and above. If you enjoyed Marvel vs Capcom 2 then you'll really feel at home with this fighter.

I really liked the story mode, although there are a few modes to choose from, sure to keep a person busy for hours. What really impressed me is the controller support, yes it has full controller support(XBOX360), but it also is coded for a fight stick too(DINPUT 10 button controller). And thats a big deal to me, beacuse sure a person could re-map your…

With 23 fighters and 23 Arcanas to choose from, the latter further customizing and adding depth to your chosen fighter, you will have a lot of fun experimenting and finding your own fighting style. This game's mechanics share some similarities with those of other air dashers, such as Blazblue or Melty Blood, with a unique twist to it: the homing mechanic, which allows you to home in on your opponent with the press of a button, which in turn allows for…

I'm a little neutral when it comes to that. The mood here is fairly light-hearted, so that's mainly what you can expect from the characters. There are a few more serious ones here and there and they are usually my personal favorites. The cast is pretty diverse in terms of what they can do in the game, many traditional archetypes…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty great fighter, although it will take some time to get used to it. If you can put aside the theme (take my word for it, it's tolerable in game), you are in for a treat. There are three main reasons the game sticks out as a 2D fighter: - Homing button You can use it to jet yourself towards the opponent, delay your attack, fly around projectiles, extend your combo, dodge attacks. No other fighter allows you to be this mobile in the air. It's something that you will keep finding ways to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So this is awkward. Basically it's a really solid fighting game and probably inspired a ton of mechanics in current gen fighters- there's a lot of stuff to work with and the characters are all smooth and unique. I'm going to be playing the crap out of this because it's actually that good. Give it a shot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arcana Heart 3 Love Max is a 2D Fighting game featuring an all-female cast of 23 fighters. Set in the country of Japan it is up to you to choose one of these fighters and find rare objects known as Celestial Stones that are used to power a giant robot. Each character has very slightly different dialogue so playing through the Story Mode once and skipping everything but the ending results in no real loss as long as you don't skip the unique ending. Story mode is the nonsensical bare-bones set up…
