Granblue Fantasy Versus

By Steven H. Garcia

Granblue Fantasy Versus is a 2.5D fighting game for the PlayStation 4. Developed by Arc System Works who worked on Blazblue, Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball FighterZ, which are all critically acclaimed anime fighting games. Granblue Fantasy Versus is based on the role-playing game and anime Granblue Fantasy. With a Roster of 11 awesome fighters and two waves of DLC characters on the way soon, this game a shaping up to be a special gem of a fighting game. The character design in the game is just breathtaking; it is hard to tell if they are hand drawn or if they are 3D models. There is an awesome character called Ladiva, that is a big buff bearded wrestler that identifies as female and is total fabulous!

The game also contains a story mode. Unlike the main fighting game mode, the story mode is more of a side-scrolling, beat-em up, action role-playing game. The story mode is slated to include exclusive bosses and minions to battle, setting weapon grids, and a co-op mode. However, all the best action is in the normal arcade or versus modes and when you see each character Skybound and Super Skybound Art, your mind will be blown away!
