Amazing game that is only personally held back by old game issues.
The game has great pixel art, animations and possibly the best stages in the franchise, +R stages definitely pull the heavy metal aesthetic more than any other Guilty Gear.
It has my favorite OST of the franchise, Holy Orders II, Meet Again and The Midnight Carnival are amazing as well as every other character and rivalry theme. (Holy Orders? may be included.)
On top of traditional Guilty Gear aggressive mechanics, Force Roman Cancels exists to deepen the already extremely deep and absurdly strong characters by adding a cheaper Cancel option on specific moves for every character. Had fun playing against every character, even some extreme ones like Zappa, Testament and Justice.
My only problem with this game is how strict it feels on timing inputs, since it doesn't have the input buffer from modern games and I never got used to its absence. But that's about it.
Really fun game, definitely play it. Characters are on their peak, and the PC port got amazing functionalities, it even has more single-player content than any of its sequels.
Also, obligatory praise to the Dustloop Wiki editors for the best in-depth wiki on the FG space.
