Runs well on modern hardware.

The game cannot comprehen you killing a boss within seconds, causing a softlock that destroys your run. Multiplayer stability is not too great with that as just killing bosses quickly (the most normal thing in the world) causes desync where the game just skips entire rooms or deletes you run.
This game is fantastic. Bringing BlazBlue to a side scrolling roguelike style experience is truly amazing and having coop added onto it amps up the fun. The amount of characters to choose from and their uniqueness really make this game and it's replay value. The story is intriguing and the art style never fails with 91Act. They always make their games smooth and optimized. I've played this on my beefy PC, Steam Deck and their Android mobile version and they all play perfectly on each platform. I've been a huge fan of Guilty Gear and when the first BlazBlue game came out, I was blown away. Their art style and play style connect so well and the way they incorporated combos from these characters is just like the fighting games. It feels satisfying. I love that they keep updating this game and continuing to bring more content. I hope they make a Guilty Gear game like this one day. I will buy it in a heartbeat. I recommend this game 10/10. Reasonable price. This game likes to go on sale too. I believe I got it at 60% off.
Fun platforming roguelike with modifiable difficulty and crazy character build potential. Still figuring out the story though, so I can't comment on that much.
