The crossover nature makes me mentally compare Fighting Climax to other crossover games like Super Smash Bros (55 characters), Marvel vs. Honestly, the roster feels a bit slim, even though the 14 playable characters line up well with other first-outing Japanese fighting games like Persona 4 Arena and Guilty Gear Xrd. The final two characters are Akira from Virtua Fighter and Selvaria from Valkyria Chronicles, standing as the only two Sega characters of the roster. Sword Art Online's Kirito and Asuna, Shakugan no Shana's Shana, A Certain Scientific Railgun's Railgun, or Black Bullet's Rentaro makes sense as they're the primary characters of their worlds, but other choices like Durarara's Shizuo, Strike the Blood's Yukina, Accel World's Kuroyukihime, or The Irregular at Magic High School's Miyuki were clearly made from a popularity standpoint. That leads to some odd choices here and there. 12 of them are pulled from the light novels and they represent the most popular faces from their various stories, not necessarily the main characters. Yes, Sega is the title's publisher, but there's only two playable Sega characters and they're both unlockable, so it seems odd to not use backgrounds related to the various series.įor a crossover game, the roster is the primary strength and in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax that roster features 14 playable characters.
Oddly enough, the 3D backgrounds the fights take place on are pulled from various Sega games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star Online 2, and Valkyria Chronicles, making an odd juxtaposition. That means you have characters from Sword Art Online, Durarara, Toradora, Black Bullet, A Certain Scientific Railgun, and Oreimo dueling it out as 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds. Due to the washed out color of Sega's official shots, all screenshots are pulled from video capture from my PlayStation 3 via an Elgato HD60.ĭengeki Bunko Fighting Climax brings some of the more popular characters from the imprint together in a single fighting game. Chosen ones, tsundere love interests, and special schools abound. If you're an avid anime watcher, you've probably seen more than a few series based on light novels. Light novels under this imprint are all aimed at young men and many of them tend to feature similar plots and character tropes. The title brings together characters from various light novels published on the Dengeki Bunko imprint and magazine owned by ASCII Media Works. PlayStation Vita (Cross Save, Not Cross Buy)ĭengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is an interesting crossover project.
