Blazing Strike will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam on October 17, publisher Aksys Games and developer RareBreed Makes Games announced.
A limited edition will also be available, which includes a full-color art book, a double CD soundtrack, and a set of collectible character cards.
Here is an overview of the game, via Aksys Games:
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 defense moves: block, guard and parry. A Rush Trigger enables 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. This allows players to execute exciting combos while having to manage the Rush Meter. The game will include three play modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and VS Mode, with training, sparring, and online match via Persona AI, and online play powered by GGPO.
