The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

Playing through visual-novel story beats punctuated by 3D one-on-one duels gives a steady, structured rhythm of talk-then-fight progression.

About

Blue Breaker Burst is a follow-up to Blue Breaker. However, instead of an RPG, this sequel is a full 3D 1-on-1 fighting game. The main story focuses on a new character named Chimena, though much of the first title's cast also return. The player moves Chimena around the world map to different locations, where visual novel-style events may occur with other characters, furthering the story and often leading to a fight. Apart from the main "Chimena's Story", additional stories focusing on other characters are unlocked as the game progresses. There are also a number of other modes. Original Mode is an arcade-style mode that forgoes the story in favor of a string of opponents that must be defeated. Versus mode allows a free battle against the computer or another player, while Training mode lets the player practice moves and combos, and view a moves list for each character.
