Anime Battle

Anime Royale is a 2.5D Fighting Game Developed by Arc System Works and Published by Namco Bandai.

Gameplay
The Gameplay is a 4 Button fighter very akin to Other ArcSys Fighting Games, such as Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Arcana Heart, and Persona 4 Arena. The 4 Buttons however are a lot more similar to BlazBlue and the Capcom fighting game, Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, with A Light Attack, Medium Attack, Heavy Attack, and a Special Attack. The Special Attack is a lot more akin to BlazBlue's Drive Button, with a special one button attack. There are a few unique mechanics exclusive to the game, one mechanic is the “Awakening”. Similar to the instant kill mode in Guilty Gear, and the Overdrive Mode from BlazBlue, if you press all 4 attack buttons at the same time, the character will transform in a temporary state that gives the character a stat boost that varies depending on the character. It can range from a Boost in Attack Power, Speed, Defense, and Meter. Each character has 5 Levels of Super Meter, with some characters having the ability to charge the meter, if you press Light + Special, you can do this with certain characters. Medium + Special is a dodge/parry maneuver, that can only be done correctly with proper timing. Heavy + Special is a throw. There is also a simple mode, dubbed “Dynamic Mode”. The Controls are Light Attack = Normal Attack, Medium Attack = Heavy Attack, Heavy Attack = Special Moves, and Special Attack = Throw. You can do Super Attacks by holding two of the attack buttons, and you can do your Ultimate Attack by holding 3 buttons.
