Blade Strangers Launch Edition - Nintendo Switch

Nicalis publishes a lot of great indie games and this one is no exception; except that the game itself isn't as polished as, say, the Blazblue series for 2D fighters. However, Blade Strangers is still a fun game and taking this on the go is very good (maybe better than playing in front of a tv). The launch edition goodies are included like with every Nicalis release, so for fans looking to something else than Street Fighter, give this a try.

I was expecting a second rate, forgettable fighter with niche characters, but what I got is pretty legit. Not a whole lot of people are playing it unfortunately, but if you like any of the series represented, or want a more "traditional" fighter, Blade Strangers is worth a look, especially at its price. Some of the rock tracks are pretty good beats too. It still feels a bit bare bones in modes and some sprites are suspect, but I like it lots.

Nicalis has yet to release a bad game. Blade strangers is, admittedly, a strange idea. But it works and it's so worth it! A collection of fighters from different games come together to battle it out. Some cool, some weird, all awesome. It's simple to learn and easy to get into for newcomers. I suggest buying this quickly before the launch edition runs out!

This game is very fun and easy to play. The moves are performed similar to Smash Bros. (though this is a one v one fighter) where you press a direction and a button and that's it. The roster is a bit small, and they're pulled from various random indie games. This is a good choice if you're in the mood for a fun and easy low budget fighter.

We are getting spoiled with fighting games on the Switch. So much so that I sadly think this game will get overlooked. It is actually a fantastic, simplistic fighter. It is easy to get into but still has enough depth to satisfy most fighter fans. Much better than SNK heroines.

Its not MvC 2 which to me is still the best fighting vame ive ever played but is a good 1v1 fighter that you can play as ur favorite indie character...Nicalis also nice enough to include a manual which makes me oddly very very happy

With random fighters from different games and an easy to pick up battle system this 2D fighter delivers old school fun. Worth playing but the price is a bit steep for only 12 character and one basic story mode. Still very fun

The visual style in Blade Strangers is one of its main positive traits, I'd say, but it's gameplay mechanics are easy to grasp and simple enough to give a good amount of entertainment in each play session.
