Arcade-perfect Perfection. Probably. I'm assuming that this is the best one for like the competitive players and all that but honestly most of my enjoyment came from the sheer absurdity of the game. Like, there's this intense music playing while a demon or something gets his ass beat by little red riding hood with grenades. On a train that has a mouth. Oh, of course the train is piloted by a skeleton. Truly every frame is a painting. Is it supposed to be this funny or am I an asshole? It's all pure fun, and cooler than Street Fighter could ever be.

I love this game so much. It’s straight up my favorite fighting game (besides brawl) and like a top 3 Capcom game. (Right next to Dead Rising and RE4 for me)

First off my big takeaway is the roster. I love all the characters. Not only for the horror influence but for their brilliant character designs and their personalities. It’s all great stuff and the sprite work and animation is just top tier. I love how diverse everyone is too in terms of their backstories and personalities . It’s all great stuff and it shows the game can be both serious, cute or creepy whenever it wants to be.

Combat is excellent too.
I love my fighters to be fast paced and kinetic while offering fun over the top special moves. This game definitely offers on that and it’s super fun. My favorites to play as are B.B Hood, Q-Bee, Heisen Ko and Lilith. I always liked characters who use weapons like guns or explosives so B.B Hood grew on me quick and she’s probably my main. Lilith from what I can tell is basically just a faster version of Morrigan so she’s a lot of fun for combos. Q-Bee is sort of similar to Chun Li who is my favorite street fighter character. Heisen Ko Is really cool and one of my favorites although I’m not the best with her, the way she turns her arms into various different weapons is cool tho. I’m by no means a competitive player but the game is fun enough to get me to not only learn the basics but to keep me playing for a while which is nice.


For me my liking for a fighter is how much I like the roster and how much I like to play it. I personally don’t care much for competitive stuff even if I respect it and find the history fascinating. Playing fighters competitively aren’t really my thing tho. If a fighter can be fast paced and offer a cool roster then I’m cool with it. Which this game absolutely succeeds with.


Finally the music goes hard. I like just about every track here and there produced quite well. Going for a more electronic dance sound while also fitting a fighting game.
If you’re a producer look into sampling this.


Solid 4.5/5 if this had stronger single player content outside of arcade mode this would likely be a 5 lol.

Also Lilith 😳. Game got crazy bitches.


Edit: 1/2/23
I know I said 4.5 but I’ll put it among my favorites as a 5. Will it go back down? Idk lol
