Arcana Heart Critic Reviews

There's no denying the market for Arcana Heart: it's a pure fanservice, all girl-on-girl fighting game with such delightful anime clichés as a robot girl with huge boobs, a kimono-clad girl (and sisters) with huge boobs and an apparently lesbian end boss with (wait for it... waaaaiiittt...) big boobs.

While it borrows unabashedly from several other titles, the game does a great job of providing its own fun and unique flair.

A charming cast, great fight mechanics, diverse play styles and tons of depth make this a fighting game you don't want to miss.

Arcana Heart won’t do anything for players that have never enjoyed a fighting game. But if you’re a fan of the genre and crave originality, this game deserves a spot on your shelf.

It may look like a silly anime girl brawler, but the underlying complex fighting system can provide a challenge to even the most seasoned fighting game fan.

Creepy though she might be, it’s fun to school your friends with a 10-year-old in a swimsuit.

If you're a fan of 2D fighting games then you will definitely enjoy this game.

It is not the best looking or most fluid fighting game out there, but if you want a solid title, then Arcana Heart delivers. It has all the right mechanics, and satisfactory audio and visual qualities.

Arcana Heart is a solid 2D fighter with a unique style that sets it apart from any other fighter you may have played. The controls can be a little iffy at times, but theres a good amount of depth involved in the battles even beyond the Arcana addition.

Delivers the quality, and its mix of accessible, over-the-top anime silliness and deep technical fighting put it in a comfortable niche between games like Super Smash Bros. and King of Fighters.

Unfortunately, Arcana Heart then falls short in its attempt to become a major player in the fighting game scene.

An enjoyable, if guilty, pleasure.
