BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a classic representative of the fighting games genre. It was developed by Arc System Works. The game is a 2.5D fighting game – it means that gameplay mechanics are fully two-dimensional despite the fact that locations are made in 3D. Tag system is the heart of the game. The player chooses two characters before the battle. They can control only one of them simultaneously but can also switch between them during the fight. Each of the fighters has a separate health bar. The title features a large variety of characters, including ones from games BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, Under Night in-Birth and the animated series RWBY. All characters feature unique fighting styles with various special attacks and combos. Developers introduced a few single player modes, but the multiplayer is most enjoyable part of the game – it can be played on a single screen or via Internet.

Another installment in the popular series of fighting games developed by Arc System Works. The story was divided into three chapters and it tells about the further adventures of characters known from the previous entries in the series. There are also new characters like Hibiki Kohaku, Naoto Kurogane and Hades Izanami. The gameplay is faithful to the roots of the series – BlazBlue: Central Fiction focuses on duels fought in two-dimensional environment. A special version of Distortion Drive called Exceed Accel is a novelty in the series – it allows the character to deal enormous damage. There is also the Active Flow mechanism that activates when a player plays very aggressively – it provides stronger attacks and faster Burst regeneration. Arcade Mode and Multiplayer are the main modes of the game and they are accompanied by Speedstar Mode (the objective is to defeat a specific number of opponents in limited time) and Alliance Mode (team battles in which the defeated opponents can join player’s team).

BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend is an expanded version of the 2013 BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma that was released on PlayStation 3. In terms of mechanics, Chrono Phantasma Extend combines elements of classic 2D fighting games and visual novels, a genre very popular in Japan. We follow the game's plot through dialogues and artworks. Once in a while we have to fight with the enemies we encounter, and results of those fight have impact on the plot. The fights are dynamic and were designed with multiplayer confrontations in mind. BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend improves the game's controls, i.e. the refurbished Guard System or four new Stylish Mode stances. The game also introduces two new playable characters and slightly improved visuals.

HD beating in the full sense of the word. Twelve warriors, extensive combat styles and a refined multiplayer mode are the most important features of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. For the new versions of the game, the authors have developed a number of new elements: a more dynamic musical setting, backgrounds, as well as Story Mode, in which we learn the story of each of the twelve characters.
