Fighting games usually have some barrier of entry for new players, the most famous one being able to throw a hadouken (fireball) with the quarter-circle input. Things will usually get more complex from there. With PW:BftG that barrier is lowered dramatically, where the input difficulty is only slightly higher than any Super Smash Bros game. You have the light, medium and heavy attacks, sure. But then you have the ‘special’ button which has three variations by holding left, right or no direction.

This makes the game incredibly easy to pick up, even when you have no fighting game experience at all and it’s what makes it a lot of fun right off the bat. Gameplay wise it has been described as a Marvel VS Capcom lite and one cannot fault that comparison when both players employ their assists filling the screen with mayhem.

The game can very much be enjoyed without any real knowledge of the series. Sure, the story mode might not make a lot of sense, but just roll with it.

My introduction to the Tales of series way back on the gamecube. While it may not be the most pretty game, it has solid gameplay and the story becomes really interesting. Excellent start for those who want to get into the Tales series.

One of the best VN's ever, hands down.

Good Japanese take on the WRPG genre.

Just sit back, relax, and panic because suddenly all of your villagers are out of firewood.

Choose your own SAMURAI life.
Your own WAY.
