What players say

Players are split on this port of the very first Guilty Gear. Many call it a lazy or barebones port that lacks online play and forgets keyboard bindings between launches, while others enjoy the nostalgia of the series' origins. Nearly everyone agrees the single-player bosses, especially Justice, are brutally unfair, and the game runs at double speed unless you manually cap your monitor to 60 Hz.
