Anime Fighting Jam II: Berserk=Age

Anime Fighting Jam II (also known as Anime Fighting Evolution in Japan) is the sequel to the powerhouse anime-fighter, Anime Fighting Jam. Once again, it is published by Capcom and developed by Arc System Works... But this time, you can purchase Berserk=Age for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Vita (also as a downloadable game), and GigaCom consoles. Ultimately, Anime Fighting Jam II is the same as this predecessor, but with balance tweaks, new characters, more arenas, and three new game modes: Tag-Team Brawl (2-on-2 intense fighting!) an Endurance Fighting mode and a Shop feature, which were originally made to be put in the last game, but was forgotten at the last minute! Graphically speaking, it still has that 2D/3D visual fusion that reminds fans of the Guilty Gear franchise, itself... Is that more fun or what? The main illustrations were done by Yuuki Katou and Nona, with promotional artwork by Hiroaki Hashimoto.

Gameplay
The game mechanics from the previous entry has returned here, and are now more better than ever! For example, "Zeoes" have been renamed as "Phases", and different from the Zeo playstyles in the first game, Phase playstyles not only return what the Zeo styles had, but add some more mechanics: for instance, you can now recover from an attack by the opponent and can, at anytime, use a counter technique known as "Rush Beat". More so, you also now have three or more life bars (a blue, green, yellow, red)... In the last game, you only had one life bar, which looked short-medium at a player's point of view! The Final Destruction techniques from the last game have also been improved, to which you can perform them anytime, but you can only stock one up by winning each round, they're more effective on 11.2% of low health, though. The outside of the gauge will glow red at low health to help tell. Also during gameplay, one may now notice that the character's life bar has their own theme to it (Ex. the Dragon Ball characters have life bars made with an orange outline, with stars inside {resembling a Dragon Ball}, characters from Death Note have white crosses inside the life bar, with a black outline), as well as the image of a character's bust, which didn't make the cut in the last title... Ouch! During Story, Arcade, Endurance, and Online Tournament modes, after winning a battle, you now earn money (or in this game, "Yen") that allows you to purchase more alternate color schemes for each character as well as bonus content and extra stages that lurk in the Shop.
