Should you play it?

The hit crossover 2D fighter finally makes its way to PC, updated to the latest arcade version for character balancing, added background animations and additional winning poses.

  • Diverse cast of anime characters and assists
  • Good combo system rewarding skill
  • Smooth animations and visuals
  • All dlc included with fair pricing
Things to keep in mind
  • Lack of tutorial and learning resources in-game
  • Small and inactive online community
  • Final boss difficulty spike
  • Limited story depth and confusing narrative
  • Uncomfortable keyboard controls and key mapping

How to use the graph
Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the same motivation profile as in the “Why this game works” section below. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot for a screenshot preview, score, and top score gaps; click to compare in the panel on the right.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel: A very typical example of its motivational profile. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Competition, Status, Story, Intimacy. Here, the score leans higher than usual among comparable games on Violence, Domination, Fellowship.
