Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising Reviews

Game is hella sick and accessible which is the best part, while easy to pick up it has depth just like any other fighting game, it's always a game you can pick up and have fun with even after a while of not playing it, and just like most anime fighters it has characters that can convert from specials from fullscreen which is normal in this sub-genre, if that's a deal breaker for you then you're better off playing SF6 with it's honest neutral and deep- oh wait nvm

Game is enjoyable. For a person without good hands the special moves are not frustrating, the art-style is fun and I like the setting. Good fighting game to pick up with friends.

Whether youre a fighting game newbie or a veteran who just enjoys playing neutral, Granblue Rising is the game for you With a lot of fighting games on the market right now, I think where granblue shines above the rest is its simplicity, controls for every character is straightforward, and gameplans are simple. Characters are also very tame: movement is on the slower end, even jumping is pretty weak, damage is relatively low if youre not in a corner, and each character only has one or two gameplans for circumventing block. "With such low power, wouldnt gameplay be lame?" I hear my anime-fighter brained friends asking. But Im happy to say, not at all. because of this, your forced to, and heavily rewarded for, looking at your opponents patterns conditioning your opponents, doing mixups, and overall relying more on the actual fundemental gameplay loop of a fighting game rather than just looking at your cool characters gimmick. The game is more complicated than something like fantasy strike, so it will feel fun to play again and again, but its not so complicated to the point where youll need to learn large combos to exceed beyond the low ranks. In other words, you play much more fighting game per match than you would in something like GGST or even Street fighter, at least in my opinion as a neutral lover. But if you fear for losing your fun character gimmicks, fear not! The cast for this game is huge and varied, and while the fundamentals of poking and dodging are the same amongst the cast, every character has really strong specials that let them cheat this low power system in some way. From Ladiva's arsenal of command grabs, to Ferry's full screen pokes, so Charlotta's treasure trove of rush down specials, every character gets to shine in their own way, and they feel very vibrant against the rather straightforward universal systems. At the same time though, no character feels so daunting that id recommend new players shy away from. The easy input system and the lack of large combo chains means that any character on the roster is friendly enough to pick up and play. Its worth noting that for those who love fighting games for the feeling of mastery, this game offers a lot less in that regard than others in the genre. Even basics like technical inputs are only barely more useful then their easy counter parts, and while you could learn some combos for max damage from central stage, these will still be relatively small by fighting game standards, and the benefit you gain from optimizing things like corner combos is pretty small compared to a new player just using every ex special in a row. In other words, look elsewhere for the feeling of mastery Still, if you enjoy the mindgames conditioning aspect of fighting games, Granblue has is distilled to a T, and I find its neutral game to be much more enjoyable than other games in the genre. Despite how easy it is to pick up, I feel like this game really gets what I enjoy about the genre, and hasnt overcomplicated that. If youre a new player as well, the game is probably the best game to learn fighting games with on the market. It takes things slow, has very few buttons, doesnt require you to learn technical inputs at first, but will still reward you for doing so later, and has pretty much every kind of character under the sun. Overall, while granblue might not shine the brightest among its competitors when it comes to flashy specials and high octane gameplay, its still the fighting game I find myself coming back to most. Games like Strive and SF6 have come and gone for me, but I feel like im always down for a few rounds of Granblue

It is mostly the same game as the original GBVS, but there are some big changes. pro: - Combat is much smoother than in the original. The new mechanics make it so you don't sit on your resources all day, you have more tools available and it feels less sluggish to play. - The game is even more accessible than before and it already was one of the best fighting games for beginners before Rising came out. - Despite being "easy", player skill still matters a lot. The pvp ranking system is D
