More about Blazing Strike
Inspired by classic arcade fighting game series from industry greats such as Capcom and SNK, the upcoming 2D fighting game from developer RareBreed Makes Games evokes the excitement and nostalgia of 2D pixel art genre pioneers while incorporating a unique games system with modern mechanics.
Blazing Strike features:
A four-button system with six normal attacks: light, medium and heavy punches and kicks, as well as three defensive moves: block, guard and parry.
The Rush Trigger system. Enabling fighters to execute fast-paced attacks and movements, but using it will slowly drain the Rush Meter, sending the character into a temporary groggy state if it’s not managed appropriately.
Three play modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and VS. (with training and sparring features)
Online VS play powered by GGPO.
