Release date for Blazing Strike set for October

Publisher Aksys Games and developer RareBreed Makes Games have announced a release date for Blazing blow, their retro fighting game.

Blazing Blow will finally be released on October 17th for Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Here is a quick summary of the game and a trailer for the new characters:

Inspired by classic arcade fighting game series from industry giants like Capcom and SNK, Blazing Blow evokes the excitement and nostalgia of the pioneers of the 2D pixel art genre while integrating a unique gameplay system with modern mechanics.

Blazing Blow features a 4-button system with six normal attacks: light, medium and heavy punches and kicks, and three defensive moves: block, parry and defend. A Rush Trigger allows fighters to perform quick attacks and moves, but its use slowly drains the Rush Meter and puts the character in a temporary dazed state. This allows players to perform exciting combos while having to keep an eye on the Rush Meter. The game will feature three game modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode and VS Mode, with training, sparring and online match via Persona AI and online play with GGPO.
