He even has a set of glasses that cover his third eye. The result is something that hasn’t really been seen by the series so far, and it’s crazy that Arc still has fresh ideas to throw around. Answer borrows a little bit from Venom’s playbook in the sense that he requires some setup with various business cards (which you can teleport to) and anchors (that you can jump between), but adopts more of a rushdown playstyle than keepaway. With an incredibly strange walk, a cell phone that’s nearly always out, and a trap-based fighting style, this company man ninja is a full-on wack-job. It’s withstood the test of time.Īnswer, one of the two newcomers for Rev 2, embodies Guilty Gear‘s ingenuity. Through nearly weekly play since the launch of the original I’ve discovered new tactics that I didn’t think were possible. As one of the most technical games out right now, getting that perfect ferocious on-the-fly combo with Sol after canceling a super is rewarding, as is Elphelt’s unique version of keepaway hidden beneath her cute veneer. I’ve also had the opportunity to really break into Xrd after several years, and I feel like I’m just scratching the surface.
I found myself digging into characters I had no interest in previously, which is always a good thing. Nearly every character has been tweaked or changed in some way, whether it’s alterations to their core abilities or their statlines. While the first Revelator update didn’t feel as monumental, Rev 2 in turn has the benefit of being a compilation of six year’s worth of work - when the Xrd subseries first went into development. I’ve seen Xrd slowly evolve into the game it is today thanks to a steady amount of support from Arc. A world, mind, that I’m fully invested in at this point. Hosted in the wonderful engine, it’s a lot easier to follow than, say, BlazBlue (or pretty much every other anime fighter), and seeing everything play out has helped me develop more of a connection to the world of Guilty Gear in general. While the campaign has been extended in Rev 2, it’s not the main event because it’s still not playable. Publisher: Arc System Works (JP), Aksys Games (US), pqube (EU) I mean, this is an aggressive stance for anyone, and it’s clear that developer Arc System Works is still paying off the massive amount of resources that went into crafting that beautiful art style.īut even if you remotely enjoy fighting games, you should play Guilty Gear.
As the third iteration of the barely three-year-old Xrd, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 is a tough sell if you’re only halfway invested in the series.
