Unfortunately, this version of the game is obsolete. The community edition is not only free, but has a functioning network and rollback along with a proper playerbase. That being said however, this game is awesome, and easily my favourite fighting game ever. It's very easy to learn yet hard to master, the variety in characters and playstyles is tremendous and the fighting just feels so smooth and fluid. The sprites, artwork and backgrounds are beautifully drawn and the soundtrack is an infinite well of bangers. I truly cannot stress how much I love this game, and I definitely recommend the community edition. And while you're there, give Tsukihime a read, the visual novel that it's based on. It's a bittersweet, outright shocking, yet beautiful story with amazing characters and atmosphere.
Its ait. The music and visuals are cool. It has that Arc System Work polish in combat that you would expect. Everything feels snappy, that being said it is a relatively old game and newer fighting games have just managed to make more fitting combat for newer audiences. As a casual fighting game fan, the combat here just feels a bit clunky, there are a lot of different modes to play around with that allow for more accessibility, but it still just ends up a few steps behind the newer generation of fighting games. Someone might want to get into this because of the story. That being said its the final entry in a long running series, the melty blood games that explain this games story aren't available anywhere anymore, same goes for the original timeline tsukihime games. So unless you find a different way to play those games, this games story won't make sense. Its not even that good of a story mode, there is a lot of interesting and cool lore for diehard Nasuverse fans, but overal the story here just serves as an excuse to explain how and why these characters are able to fight each other. To add to that the translation here is very mediocre and doesn't always read naturally. All in all on a sale its like 5 bucks, its definitely worth it just to mess around. So many of the characters in this game are super interesting, cool or fun to play. That cool lore that has built up and the insane design of some characters end up making a pretty fun but slightly outdated fighting game. It just has a very unique appeal that few other games can truly capture, because of that I give it a recommend.
Soundtrack and stage arts are fire, gameplay not as smooth as type lumina but still really good and more of a classic arcade fighter style. It's got Ryogi Shiki in it.
