Easy Access Combat

Fantasy Strike features a diverse roster of fighters. Apart from Midori, who can transform into a mighty dragon, another nine characters make up the available combatants. From martial artists to rock-solid warriors, four distinct archetypes appear in Fantasy Stirke’s roster. Zoners, rushdown, grapplers, and wildcard classes feature. Each class brings its own strengths, style of combat, and spectacular looking special moves.

Not only does this diversity make for interesting tactical play but it opens up the game to a range of options for new and old players. Accessibility seems to be a key component of the game’s ethos and is especially evident in the control systems. New players will appreciate the simplicity of single button press moves making it easier to feel awesome.

Veteran fighters shouldn’t worry. You’ll already probably know that David Siriln knows what he is doing as an ex SF dev and an experienced player in his own right. By stripping out the unnecessary entry barriers, Siriln has focused on tactical choices and fluid combat responses to outwit your friends.
