How it feels
A fighting game balancing a heavy, dense narrative against tag-based battles that demand quick character-switching reflexes.

About
Blade Arcus from Shining EX is said to have a very dense story that revolves around the two protagonists, Ryuga and Pairon. The actual combat and gameplay during battles utilizes tag-based mechanics, where a player selects a primary character as well as a secondary character. Players can only switch between the two different characters during rounds, but can also call on their partner for help using 'Link Attacks'.
