Save Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus


Insane characters with giant anchors, scalpels, pool cues, ghosts, guitars and chunks of concrete; lightning speed combo game play, head banging rock and roll music, and clean, sharp animations and graphic quality. This game is completely crazy, and if you are any sort of real fighting game fan, you will absolutely love every minute of it.

The final (supposedly) iteration of the famed Guilty Gear XX series, Accent Core plus is considered possibly the most balanced and fastest 2D fighter ever. AC+ is a re-release of 07's Accent Core, and while the same in the terms of game play that added several elements to the already tight system, it brings back enough content to keep both the solo player and the hardcore competitor entertained.

The game's extremely high learning curve is a put-off to many, but there's no room for quitters here, and the highest level of play clearly demands the best because of this. Even if you don't plan on entering any tournaments, the game is still easily entertaining to the fighting game newcomer with its short, quick dial-a-combos. It runs at a crisp 60 fps and moves like a cheetah. Every character can dash, airdash, double jump, chain attacks into each other and pull off ridiculously long and powerful combos that, while strong, require extremely strict timing and a heavy dose of focus to pull off correctly. Everyone has a realistic chance of winning while retaining a ridiculous amount of style and it shows.

Name another game with a small, female, 13 year-old pirate who fights with a giant anchor. Or a simple sad sack possessed to the neck by ghosts who fight on his behalf, knocking him unconscious at the same time? How about a 9-foot tall, insane doctor with an enormous scalpel and a "Mary Poppins Fetish"? Even an American, ex drug dealer ninja who thinks he's really Japanese and a time-paradox inducting alternate to the protagonist with a giant...slab of concrete are here. The game takes all kinds.

Guilty Gear is beyond amazing; it is legendary. Play it and you'll know a true fighter.
