About

As humanity endeavored to better themselves, they created the biological marvel known as Gears. Originally intended as the next step of human evolution, they were instead fitted for war and turned against their own creators.

What players say

Praised as a flashy, gorgeous 2D fighter with a killer soundtrack and deep, finely tuned mechanics that thrill hardcore players but feel intimidatingly technical to newcomers; seen as one of the best yet lesser-known entries in the series.
