Arc System Works<\/a> is a developer famous for creating stylish fighting games like Guilty Gear<\/i> and Blazblue<\/i> that sell well in Japan and have been picking up steam in the United States. The reason the games go over so well with fans vary, but the main one is because of how true to anime the games are.<\/p>\n

Arc System Works seems to be able to turn any franchise into a solid anime fighting game<\/a> with unique character designs, memorable music, and stunning visuals. With Guilty Gear Strive<\/em> just around the corner, it’ll be interesting to see how it fits among the list of Arc System Works’ greatest hits.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Kill La Kill -If (68)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Kill la Kill-If\u00a0<\/i>is an arena fighter based on the\u00a0hit anime series Kill la Kill<\/i><\/a>. The game’s combat is similar to rock paper scissors with extra steps and flashy anime effects. That doesn’t mean the combat isn’t fun. It’s extremely easy to pick up and explain to friends who have played arena fighters, which makes it a fun party game.<\/p>\n

The single-player content is lacking, as the story mode can be beaten over the course of a few hours and the fights feel drawn out since enemies have inflated health and deal lots of damage. As an overall package, it was better to wait for discounts than paying full price for Kill La Kill-If<\/i><\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Granblue Fantasy: Versus (78)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Granblue Fantasy: Versus<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is a huge milestone for Arc System Works and fighting games as a whole. Arcsys understood that the main base\u00a0of the Granblue Fantasy<\/em> games did not necessarily consist of fighting game fans, and fighting game fans weren’t necessarily Granblue<\/em> fans. To account for this, they created a game right in the middle.<\/p>\n

The story mode tells the story in a digestible way for new Granblue<\/em> fans<\/a>, and the gameplay is accessible for fans of the franchise. Fighting games often have issues with maintaining depth and accessibility at the same time, but Granblue Fantasy Versus<\/em> is a big step forward in that regard.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Melty Blood: Actress Again Current Code (78)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Melty Blood<\/i> is one of the most influential and creative anime fighting games to ever exist. The game features complex combat systems, interactive defensive options, and a diverse group of characters to choose from. Since its release in 2002<\/a>, the game has received a steam rerelease in 2016 and still has an active player base, which demonstrates how beloved it is by the fighting game community.<\/p>\n

Melty<\/i> Blood<\/i> originally was developed and published by different companies but the 2016 rerelease was handled by Arcsys. The game has served as an inspiration for so many anime fighters since like Under Night-In Birth<\/i> and Big Bang Beat<\/i>.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle (79)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle<\/i> might be the most ambitious crossover (fighting game) event since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/i>.\u00a0Cross Tag Battle<\/em> includes characters from the BlazBlue<\/em> series, Persona Arena<\/em> games, Under Night In-Birth,<\/em> and more. With a character roster of 40 characters, Cross Tag Battle<\/em> has a lot to explore as a tag team game.<\/p>\n

Compared to other BlazBlue<\/em> titles, Cross Tag<\/em> takes a much accessible approach. More complicated inputs are replaced with simple motions, and character move lists are shortened and made more manageable. This makes it easy to learn multiple characters quickly and experiment with team synergy. It’s also easy for beginners to pick up, making it fun to play with friends.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Under Night-In-Birth Exe: Late (81)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Under Night In-Birth<\/em>, or UNI<\/em> for short, has become sort of a meme among the anime fighter community. Not only is its name ridiculous, but the aesthetic of the battle screens are also cluttered with meaningless words that flash before anybody can actually read them.<\/p>\n

UNI<\/em> has incredibly deep combat and each character has their own special abilities and mechanics which makes playing each character feel like a different game. The UNI<\/em> community is also still very active with limited support for the game, so there’s always time to give it a try for fans who like complex fighting games.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma (84)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma<\/em> is the third game in the BlazBlue<\/em> series and features 28 characters, which was a lot more than the 19 from the game before it. Chrono Phantasma<\/em> has an intense level of depth in each character, so this roster was a lot to tackle for fans. The anime-style really started to shine through in this installment too since it had the power of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n

The console release featured extra story mode missions and delved deeper into the new characters like Bullet and Kokonoe. The game was widely praised on release for changing the combat mechanics and also cleaning up the UI to be more pleasant to the eye.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 (85)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Guilty Gear <\/i>Xrd REV\u00a0<\/i>2<\/i> is the latest entry in the franchise before the release of Strive<\/em>. Guilty Gear <\/i>is known for its extremely complex combat and energetic soundtrack. REV 2<\/em> includes new features from the original Xrd<\/em> that made the final product feel more fulfilling than before.<\/p>\n

REV 2<\/em> might have some of the most complex battle mechanics known to man in fighting games, but it makes up for that by having an amazing tutorial and solid training mode. For players who are willing to learn, REV 2<\/em> rewards every bit of it and makes the experience a lot of fun to play through.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (85)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Persona 4 Arena<\/em> is a project that fans received very well on release. The game features characters from Persona 3\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a04<\/em>.\u00a0The crossover was one of the defining features, along with the game’s gameplay. Combat had simple controls, but complex character mechanics which made for low skill floor, and high skill ceiling.<\/p>\n

Ultimax<\/em> also includes the “shadow type” feature, which allowed players to use a more skilled version of their normal character. This inclusion was a fun way to help players bridge the gap between veterans and newcomers alike. More fighting games should include options like this to level the playing field in a casual sense.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>BlazBlue: Central Fiction (86)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

BlazBlue: Central Fiction<\/em> is the latest entry in the franchise, and one of the most beloved anime fighters in recent times. Central Fiction<\/em>‘s gameplay centers around its characters instead of universal mechanics and gimmicks. Because of this approach, each character stands out in their own way, and every player can find the perfect fit for their style.<\/p>\n

Some characters focus on mobility and restricting the movement of their opponent, while others rely on strict execution and long combos to get their damage. Not a lot of competitive fighters have this much depth, which makes Central Fiction<\/em> stand out as one of the most ambitious fighters to make, and for fans to play.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Dragon Ball FighterZ (87)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dragon Ball FighterZ<\/em> has everything going for it<\/a>. Immense and recognizable character roster, easy-to-learn gameplay, hype music, and so much more. FighterZ<\/em> is one of the most successful fighting games ever, and the player base keeps expanding. Fans of Dragon Ball<\/em>\u00a0and fighting games all came together in amazement to enjoy FighterZ<\/em> in 2018.<\/p>\n

The graphics supported by the Unreal Engine make scenes from FigtherZ<\/em> look like they’re straight out of an episode of Dragon Ball Z<\/em><\/a>, which is astounding. Not only that, it’s obvious that the developers truly have a love for the series because of the dramatic finishes. Arc System Works didn’t have to include them, but having the dramatic finishes really adds to the sense of immersion in the world of Dragon Ball<\/em>.<\/p>\n
