About

On Dec 25th 1925, a Japanese nationalist revolutionary group staged a coup d’etat. The revolutionaries acted swiftly, suppressing the prime minister, police, major corporations, and newspapers. Struggling to react, the old government faction sent the order to a secret information organization ‘Igasei’ to initiate an assassination program called ‘Yatagarasu’ and eliminate the leaders of the coup d’etat.

Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm manages to bring back some of the best parts of 90s fighting games, but also feels dated in some areas. The actual fighting is top-notch, but unless you are a hardcore fighting game fan, you'll be turned off by the sub-par presentation. Fighting fans will find a lot to like with the actual combat, however, and Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm is some of the most fun you can have with a 2D fighter.

I enjoy the minimalist visuals and emphasis on mind games and feeling out your opponent, rather than pulling off technical combos. In a lot of ways, it's refreshing how stripped down Yatagarasu is, but it would have been nice to see more attention around the periphery. Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm is wonderful, except when it isn't. From first blood to knockout this is an exceptional fighting game. I just wish the rest of it was held to that same standard.

Yatagarasu tiene mucho margen de mejora en todo lo demás. Escaso en modos de juego offline, un online que no funciona con la pulidez que debería un juego como este a día de hoy y pequeños errores en menús, idiomas y configuración que hacen que todo lo que rodea a los combates no esté a la altura. Las bases de su combate son sencillas, eficaces y funcionan, pero la experiencia general con el título no está a la altura de dichas mecánicas.

Peut-être que son effectif ou son budget dérisoires font oublier les errements de réalisation ou l’aspect technique un peu désuet de Yatagarasu. A moins que cette indulgence tienne surtout à son gameplay, bâti autour d'un système à la finition exemplaire et aux influences très bien digérées. Cependant et aussi bon soit-il manette ou stick en main, Yatagarasu semble avoir oublié qu’il est désormais un produit vendu sur Steam, et que cela induit un minimum d’efforts pour rendre le jeu compréhensible et accessible.

Se siete alla ricerca di un picchiaduro tecnico e non siete tra quelli che acquistano solo i giochi che possono mandargli in ebollizione la scheda video, Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm è il titolo perfetto per voi. Peccato per alcune problematiche relative all'online e per una mancanza di rifiniture che terranno sicuramente alla larga una buona fetta di pubblico. Di nostro ve lo consigliamo perché tolta la polvere, è un titolo dal gameplay solido e vario, capace di regalare grandi soddisfazioni.
