Combat flows smoothly, counters never seem visually forced, and overdrive and instant kill attacks are still a mixture of raw intimidation and a moving painting of death. However, Guilty Gear is all about dashes, and that’s more apparent than ever in Accent Core Plus R’s edition. By creating pauses when skills connect in the action just short enough that novices to the game won’t even notice it, Guilty Gear creates truly cinematic looking battles that might lull you into thinking this game is slow and beginner friendly. When I first picked up Guilty Gear X in the UC Riverside arcade, I was blown away by its Japanese animation style coordinated seamlessly into the fighting genre.
For fighting game fans not familiar with Guilty Gear, that last line should give you an indication of what type of game you’re getting into. In fact if you’re a hardcore Guilty Gear fan and reading this, you’re probably more interested in berating me for not agreeing with your opinion, or falsely describing the process of setting up a multi-roman cancel aerial combo off a wall bounce into an overdrive finisher.
Why? Because if you’re a hardcore Guilty Gear fan, you probably didn’t need to wait for my review to snag this game on Steam on day one.
#SLOW DOWN THE SPEED VOICE GEAR PLAYER PC#
The latest addition to that golden era of course is the arrival of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R on Steam, bringing the pinnacle edition of the classic Guilty Gear franchise to PC, with quality minimal lag multiplayer action, and more game modes on tap than random nonsense words in its title.Īs I’m a casual plus Guilty Gear player, I’ll be writing my review directed towards the uninitiated PC gamer that might be considering picking this up. If you’re part of the camp like me that skipped a lot of class in college because the action was too intense in the arcade to miss out on, but never picked up a console in the aftermath to scratch your fighting itch, then this might feel like the beginning of a golden era. So here we are in 2015, and finally seeing quality fighting games available on the PC is becoming a regular occurrence, rather than a blue moon event.
