Computadores sencientes conhecidos como motes invocam heróis de mundos paralelos de jogos para combates um contra um contra a força devoradora de dados chamada Lina. O vencedor do torneio desperta como o Blade Stranger para derrotar Lina e proteger os motes. Este fighting game old-school hardcore para PC reúne lutadores de títulos da Studio Saizensen como Code of Princess e Sayonara Umihara Kawase, além de jogos da Nicalis como Cave Story+ e outros convidados.
O esquema de controles com quatro botões permite que iniciantes acertem golpes imediatamente, enquanto combos intricados, counters e especiais recompensam experts com frame counting, construção de chains e domínio de hit-boxes. Os personagens contam com oito opções de cores e stages dedicados, com modelos 3D renderizados como sprites 2D no estilo anime deslumbrantes. O modo online aprimora as habilidades contra rivais do mundo todo. Jogadores casuais entram de cabeça, mas pros de torneio buscam a perfeição.
A malevolent force known only as Lina is devouring data from a vast, interdimensional network of servers overseen by sentient computers called ”motes.” In desperation, the motes summon heroes from a variety of parallel game worlds to face off against each other in one-on-one combat. The tournament victor has the potential to be awakened as the Blade Stranger—the savior who can vanquish Lina and protect the motes from further harm!
