Computadoras conscientes conocidas como motes invocan héroes de mundos paralelos de videojuegos para librar combates uno contra uno contra Lina, una fuerza que devora datos. El ganador del torneo despierta como el Blade Stranger para derrotar a Lina y proteger a los motes. Este juego de lucha hardcore old-school para PC incluye luchadores de títulos de Studio Saizensen como Code of Princess y Sayonara Umihara Kawase, además de juegos de Nicalis como Cave Story+ y otros invitados.
Un esquema de controles con cuatro botones permite a los novatos conectar golpes de inmediato, mientras que combos intrincados, counters y especiales premian a los expertos con conteo de frames, construcción de chains y dominio de hit-boxes. Los personajes cuentan con ocho opciones de color y stages dedicados, con modelos 3D convertidos en sprites 2D al estilo anime de impactante belleza. El modo online afila habilidades contra rivales de todo el mundo. Los jugadores casuales entran con facilidad, pero los pros de torneos buscan la perfección absoluta.
A malevolent force known only as Lina is devouring data from a vast, interdimensional network of servers overseen by sentient computers called ”motes.” In desperation, the motes summon heroes from a variety of parallel game worlds to face off against each other in one-on-one combat. The tournament victor has the potential to be awakened as the Blade Stranger—the savior who can vanquish Lina and protect the motes from further harm!
