Nitroplus Chiral Blasters Tag Duel

Boys will be Boys Love and War Nitroplus Chiral Blasters Tag Duel (Stylised as: Nitro+CHiRAL BlasterS TAG DuEL), is a fighting game featuring the cast of the Nitroplus Chiral visual novels developed by Arc System Works and Nitroplus Chiral, directed and written by Cadence Jamieson. The game was released for arcades on January 4, 2022 and the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC worldwide on.

Premise
An calamity of unknown source called the "Rapid Eye" is attacking from the devasated far future it's reponsible for. Many males are trapped within the pocket dimensions it creates, and are ordered to fight each other if they want to find the truth.

Gameplay
Gameplay is similar to a combination of BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, with HeartBreakers, the equivalent to the instant KO Astral Finishes, and Atrocity Mode, the equivalent to the risk-reward Hyper Mode, is based on the fighter’s flaws. If Atrocity Mode runs empty, he becomes Regretful, debuffing him severely.

Trivia

 * Much like other games directed by Cadence Jamieson, none of the DLC are paid.
 * The "Help Me, Granny Tae!" skits are based off BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend's "Help Me! Professor Kokonoe!"
 * This is the first Nitroplus Chiral game to have an English dub and dual audio.
 * To differ between a usual knockdown and KO, the defeated fighter suffers clothing damage on the latter.
