Yuki Enterprises (Examu) released Arcana Heart in
Japanese arcades towards the very end of 2006 and
found a ready and willing audience amongst the
gaming cognoscenti. Firstly, it's a capable fighting
game with a bevy of moves, combos, aerial
maneuvering, and move cancels out the wazoo.
Secondly, the cast of characters is entirely female.
Make that attractive females who can choose their
elemental powers by way of ten tarot cards which
depict a beast such as Bhanri or a deity-like lassie
like Partinias.
The main character is a redhead named Aino Heart and she's joined
by 11 other fighters such as the blue-haired Tsuzura
Saki, Tokinomiya Kamui, Kasuga Maori, Mei-Fang,
Konoha, Lilica Felchenerow, Liselotte Achenbach,
Yasuzumi Yoriko, Fiona Mayfield, Mildred Avalone,
and Daidohji Kira. When fighting, the bouts
generally take place on the ground but aerial
attacks can send the two girls way up into the air
as the playfield lofts higher to take in the action.
The girls seem to be designed for eventual
transition to the merchandising realm of figures,
toys, keychains, blankets, etc.
The controls consist of a joystick and four buttons, which will
make a prefect port, control-wise, to the
Playstation 2 on October 11. We'll check out how
true the game hews to the arcade original once we
get our grubby hands on it.
Preorders are
welcome today. |
