This is the latest addition to the series of 2D fighting games based on TYPE-MOON's visual novel, Tsukihime. The curtain rises once more on dramatic battles played out with familiar characters from Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon.
The game introduces a new "Moon Skill" system that allows players to unleash powerful techniques with simple inputs. This new addition, combined with the refined systems inherited from previous MELTY BLOOD titles, creates a battle experience that caters to both experienced players and newcomers. Developers have emphasized delivering intense, enjoyable matches through intuitive controls.
While the battle system is complex with a high skill ceiling, the developers have designed the game to be approachable. Comprehensive tutorials teach new players the fundamentals, and character-specific missions allow experienced players to master the intricacies of their chosen fighting styles. This multi-layered approach ensures engagement for all skill levels.
A key strength is the implementation of Rollback Netcode for the online multiplayer. This technology helps ensure stable, low-latency matches, eliminating common issues like input lag and frame delay. The fighting game community highly values this technical implementation for its ability to provide a smooth, responsive online experience.
The roster features a wide variety of characters, each with distinct fighting styles and movesets. From fast-paced combos to technical zoning, the diverse character design encourages experimentation and allows players to find the playstyle that suits them best.
