How it feels

A fast, technical 2D fighter with an old-school arcade feel and a beginner-friendly control scheme.

What players say

Players buy Blade Strangers cheap on sale and enjoy the casual-friendly combos and crossover roster. Controls are a point of disagreement: some find the bindings confusing and the motion-less inputs too simple, while others appreciate the accessibility. The online is dead and the netcode is delay-based, limiting the game's longevity for solo players.
