  Overall, Fantasy Strike is not what I originally thought it would be. With the vibrant world and brightly colored characters, you will have a good time fighting against computer enemies or real people. For the price of $29.99 USD, there is plenty for you to do. It is a full game, just like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter, but for half the price. If you want a change in pace from those other guys, give this one a try.

  Fantasy Strike is one of those titles that looks impressive on paper but gets extremely tedious and dull when you play it for a while. While the characters prove to be interesting and unique, they can’t be properly tied together, they seem to be of different styles and their move-sets are so limited that the game quickly becomes a spam-fest of a single button. While the game has a few different options to offer, sometimes aiming for a very simplistic style of mechanics can also be what makes the game shallow and boring.

  If you really are new to fighting games, Fantasy Strike is worth giving a go. But you’re probably going to want to move onto something a little more advanced fairly quickly. It’s a well made game, but the action just gets too repetitive too fast because of its limited movesets. I just can’t help but feel that Fantasy Strike is a little too simple for its own good.

  Fantasy Strike is a well-rounded package that has its cake and eats it too, giving true accessibility and ease of understanding to new players while offering enough depth and mind games to appease experienced players. We’re hoping that Sirlin Games keep supporting the game now that it’s fully launched, but the future looks bright for Fantasy Strike.

  Fantasy Strike is an extremely good fighter that I enjoy playing when I can find someone to fight against. It has a lot of unique attributes that set it apart from other fighting games. It’s a really easy game to recommend to anyone that loves fighters, as its mechanics and gameplay are top-notch. The only big issue is the player base, which will hopefully increase with the game coming out of Early Access.

  Fantasy Strike delivers on its promise to make a fighting game easy to pick up and play. It's simple to get the hang of, and characters actually have cool abilities. Still, it's lacking in content, lacking in a player base, and plagued with AI issues.
