Of course, this remains a budget title, that can't hold a candle to the competition - old or modern. This is still a game of skill, just one that's very easy to get into. Of course, your hyper active five-year-old brother won't manage to defeat you just by head-butting the gamepad. The lack of anything fancier makes this a very approachable choice that caters to button-masher, pros, and everyone in between. As for the slow-filling gauge, it can be used for executing special moves, or entering a unique buffed state. The control scheme revolves around the typical weak and strong punches and kicks, with the shoulder buttons acting as button combos. Mechanically this still isn't something original, though. Yours truly fell in love with a NEW SIGN addition, the lightning-fast Lupinus a Cammy-like, petite lady, whose pressure game might not be as good as that of others, but is great at closing distances in the blink of an eye, and actually packs quite a punch despite her size - a punch that can be extended ala Dhalsim (yeah, too many Street Fighter comparisons). None of them are needless filler that's there just to be there.Īs mentioned before, the cast is quite the varied one, thus it is easy to find a favourite to have fun with. While visually these definitely have that forgettable, b-list look, gameplay-wise they aren't just King of Fighter rejects. This ticks all the boxes that a Japanese-flavoured, anime style fighter needs to, with the first being a varied roster of characters that includes slow-but-strong walls of flesh, superfast and agile short-stuff, 'cool' katana-wielders and hunky Asian boy-men, MILF… err, strong and sexy ladies, gothic lolitas, as well as the obligatory 'gimmicky' choices. Of course, this also means that there's little reason to try this out if you have played any of the more popular fighters - but at least this doesn't cost 59,99€, right? Not every title needs to be a reinvention of the wheel. It's a low-budget Guilty Gear, that's meant to offer fast 1v1 action and flashy 2D visuals, with nothing more than the tried and tested mechanics of the fighting genre. There's actually not much to say here, because CHAOS CODE doesn't add something new.
