Bleach: The Blade of Fate is a Japanese 2D fight based on the popular in the Country of Cherry Blossom anime series. What distinguishes it from the multitude of similar positions that flood the market with waves? Among other things, the ability to fight simultaneously four characters who are fighting in two planes - in the foreground and more in the depths of the screen.
Based on the forthcoming and eagerly awaited BLEACH animated series, BLEACH: The Blade of Fate offer relentless action and dazzling swordplay with crisp, stylised graphics that deliver an authentic anime experience. Both versions feature a strong cast of characters voiced by the actors from VIZ Media's award-winning BLEACH anime. The TV show is scheduled to air across Europe later this year. With a lively cast of over 20 characters, including Rukia, Kon and hero Ichigo, gamers will spend hours furiously fighting and unlocking individual character stories, all based on the animated series' story arc.
The BLEACH storyline follows 15-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki who has the power to see spirits from the afterlife, including warriors known as Soul Reapers. The Soul Reapers are tasked with defending humans from otherworldly beings called Hollows. One fateful day, Ichigo meets Rukia, a Soul Reaper who lends him her powers after she's injured by a Hollow. In the game, players will progress through an exciting storyline facing increasingly difficult opponents in their quest to uncover the truth.
BLEACH: The Blade of Fate offers striking 2D action and brilliant visuals that have become the hallmark of Treasure, the game's legendary development team. Players will face a variety of opponents as one of 28 highly-stylised characters in intense action-packed battles based on the animated series. BLEACH: The Blade of Fate on the Nintendo DS brings a twist to the traditional 2D fighting game with a new kind of battle system that enables players to move between upper and lower split-plane battle arenas to chase after or escape from opponents.
BLEACH: The Blade of Fate for the DS also allows gamers to build Spirit Card Decks to strategically access power-ups and power-downs to perform special attacks, cast healing spells on themselves, displace opponents, or prohibit them from using their own Spirit Cards. Additionally, gamers can take to the streets battling against enemies in fast-paced combat via the Nintendo DS' Wi-Fi capabilities.
