Zero Chronicles is 2015 fighting game by In-Verse, a brand new IP. Has big influence of Street Fighter EX series and Star Gladiator series Gameplay.
The Style of the motif is based in a magical, superhero style motif, and despite that, it is not a Spin-off of The Adventures of Vanessa series.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay follows an eight-row joystick with four buttons, one with a weak and strong weapon attack, a kick and a guard defense like the first Star Gladiator game, the gameplay is basically two dimensional with a 3D field and three leveled power bar like Street Fighter EX series, and also a small, but notable feature is the Ring Out, a stage has a crystal barrier that is breakable, but if a player goes on outside of being out by an attack, counts as a Ring Out and the other player wins. The power bar can be used, and, for the first time an attack of two bars can be used in the case of transformations, and there's also the new "Warning sign", a Warning sign is that the player has the Three Power Bars but less than 35% of the life, can execute a powered up Super Attack to a Ring Out.
Like a game called Battle Fantasia, the characters' life are like a RPG with Numbers, for example, Elias has 4100HP while Sophia has 3200HP.

Leo, a youngster prince who's possessed by a demon sword, and tries to get rid of it, despite the mistake was of his own.
