Actual D&D

I strongly recommend people interested in this remake to also play the original. The original is still amazing to this day, but this is a fantastic game in its own right. If you have played RE8 in third person, its pretty similar but this is much improved. Definitely worth full price

I love Gorbino's Quest

D&D

game good

Game's good, network is worse than smash for me right now. would recommend Dead or Alive

This shouldn't be good.

The Game is finally worth the money. 3 years later. The base game has 16 characters and very addicting gameplay, but it just feels a little empty, and it was even worse at launch. When the Arcade Edition launched, the game was significantly upgraded, giving players 6 arcade modes to play through and balance updates. But despite all the upgrades, we were asked to pay for the new characters, more stages, and more costumes. Then in season 3, they also added loot boxes and ads in-game. Everything surrounding this game was executed horribly. But the Champion Edition upgrade fixes most of these problems and delivers a superb fighting game experience.

GAMEPLAY
Gameplay is fast-paced, and is a blast to play. The game has an emphasis on rushing down opponents, which can feel frustrating at first, but I the aggressive style only makes the game more tense and satisfying if you take the time to learn how the game works. There is so much more depth to this game that may not be initially be apparent to newcomers. Each character has unique mechanics, as is the norm, but new mechanics, specifically V-skills and V-triggers, add more depth to the gameplay and can help players potentially turn the tables. These do not replace the EX meter for special moves, rather the V-trigger meter fills up the more damage you receive, and V-Skills offer new moves to defeat your opponents. With a diverse roster, every fight feels unique and thrilling. Also, the netcode has improved, I've had an outstanding experience playing online with friends. I wish I had more to say, but for me this game is a fast, fluid, and entertaining entry in the Street Fighter series. I'd put it up there with 2, and I actually enjoy the game more than 4 now that the champion edition is available.

FIGHT MONEY
The fight money currency system is absolutely atrocious for those who do not own the Champion Edition. At first, you get a decent amount of fight money, maybe enough to initially convince you that it is easy to acquire and getting new characters and costumes is easy. But after only a day or so I learned of how fast that changes. Initially, fight money is easy to acquire thanks to relatively high payouts for completing each character's short stories, along with trials and the general story. Unfortunately, these high gains do not last. After you've completed all of that, you get very small payouts that feel like a joke, sometimes around 50 FM. To compare, it costs 100,000 FM for each character, stages cost around 70,000 FM, story costumes cost 40,000 FM, and colors cost a various amount. It's insane how little fight money players acquire, and how much it costs to acquire everything. Completing daily and weekly challenges give you a bit more fight money, but it doesn't increase your gains by a whole lot. So if you intend on buying the game WITHOUT the Champion Edition, you're gonna be in for a rough time that I cannot recommend to ANYONE.
If you do plan on picking up the Champion Edition, all of these flaws are solved. You no longer really have to balance using your fight money for acquiring stages, characters, costumes, or colors. With almost all the content being included in the Champion Edition package, most of your fight money will now go towards Fighting Chance loot box content. Fighting Chance is something I was greatly opposed to when it was implemented, but thankfully the loot box content is mostly tied to newer alternate colors, only a few costumes, and survival mode battle items. These loot boxes do not cost real money, and the prize pool is surprisingly small. There isn't much that Fighting Chance really offers, and that's actually a really good thing compared to more anti-consumer practices found elsewhere. Since there is not a lot else to spend Fight Money on now, the problem is almost nonexistent.
VISUALS
Characters and stages look gorgeous, with a clay-like style. There isn't much to say, as every Street Fighter fan has their preference in art style, but this is by far my favorite portrayal.

Overall, the game is fantastic to play, but not something I can recommend without the Champion Edition. But if you are willing to put down $33 right now, you will be getting an extremely satisfying, content-filled fighting game that is among the greats of the genre.

Reminds me a lot of Symphony of the Night, and that's a masterpiece. Would heavily recommend to anyone looking for a similar experience.

I played this originally on the 3DS, but got this version for free. It wasn't worth it on the 3DS, and doesn't really feel much better on PC.
