A nice follow-up to X, and probably, most definitely surpasses it.
The story of this game is very simple, I-no wreaks havoc, and hijinks ensue. Because of this the general plot is a lot more expanding, and there are much more subplots behind the main one, as well as the assassin's guild plot. There were many interesting reveals, and I enjoyed the additions of the new characters. Slayer is a great addition, Zappa is interesting, Bridget is cute, and I-no is mysterious. I also loved the addition of all the Robo-Ky's, it added great tension to some of the character's endings, for which there are 3 for each individual character. It's also all voiced, a great improvement toward X Plus!
I may be wrong here, but the gameplay to me feels very similar to X. It features the same sprites, attacks are the same, the only thing I could only tell was different was the voicelines. The new characters feel great, but there isn't much to say compared to what I had to say when comparing X to the original.
The character's themes also sound the same from what I could tell, maybe I'm wrong, but that doesn't mean they were bad. Like all Guilty Gears, the music is great! I especially like the ending themes, of course.
Overall, there really isn't much to say. It's X with some new characters, and a neat new story. This is only part 1 of 2 though, so I have to wonder how little I'll be able to say about the next (main) installment as well.

Played this in a row with Isuka. Passing from the original Guilty Gear from 1998 (a game that aged badly) to these ones was a jump of quality.
I can barely put into words the whiplash that I felt realizing that Potemkin's old VA uses the same filter as those "IF GREAT KING OF EVIL GANONDORF DID X" memes.
Let's say the visual is ordinary. The story is essentially not revealed in any way. The action is also common. The game is a dummy and does not bring anything new. There were many more successful projects before her.
Визуал скажем так - обычный. История по сути не раскрывается никак. Боевка тоже обычная. Игра пустышка и не приносит ничего нового. До нее выходило много более удачных проектов.

Lots of fun story modes but god do the bosses suck
It's at this point in my GG marathon I need to express what has truly given me such a strong love for these games. It's the superbly stylized cast. They always seems to hit the right notes. Every character is memorable. They introduce new ones every game and they always fit right in. Nobody on the roster is bland or doesn't belong. They all have catchy songs, awesome designs, ridiculous lore, hilarious personalities. You couldn't make any of them sound boring even if limited to a single sentence.
