Arcana Heart 3: Love Max Six Stars!!!!!! PC

Arcana Heart 3: Love Max Six Stars!!!!!! for PC is another version of the third entry in the series of two-dimensional fighting games Arcana Heart. The series was always developed by Japanese studio Examu. The title is another expanded version of Arcana Heart 3 and it was based on the newest edition available in arcades (the previous editions were released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PC). The title debuted thanks to the support of fans who financed its release during a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in July 2017. Thanks to the gathered funds the developers were able to add a new character and arcane to the game and they promised to release DLC with even more characters.

Mechanics

At the beginning of the game the player selects one female character from a list of more than twenty available characters. The warriors can belong to one of four categories that differ in attack strength and defense capabilities. The categories are: defensive, balanced, offensive and unique. Characters from the unique category only use unusual attacks and strategies that don’t fit remaining categories. Once the player decides which female warrior to use, they must then choose from more than twenty arcanas. Each of them is assigned to one tarot card and provides unique powers that can improve strength of the attack, defense or add new special attacks. One of the keys to victory in combat lies in selecting a combination of character and arcana that fits player’s style.

The combat style and controls should be familiar to everyone who previously played two-dimensional fighting games. One of the characteristic traits of the game is the height of arenas on which the players are fighting. Their construction enables the players to perform very high jumps and fight in the air. If controls and performing combos are too hard for the player, it is possible to activate simplified combat system that enables everyone to perform even the most advanced combinations.
