A choose-your-own-adventure manga for BlazBlue fans; that’s a pretty specific niche and XBlaze fills it well.
Full review by Cory Galliher.
Review by Mikhail M.
Over the last few months, a lot of Japanese game publishers and developers have been dipping their toes into the PC platform via Steam. Aksys was one, publishing the Arc System Works-developed visual novel Xblaze Code: Embryo on Steam recently and while it's fun, it also has enough flaws that hold it back from what I’ve come to expect from both Arc System Works and visual novels.
Chalgyr's Game Room writes:
I am absolutely terrible at fighting games which is why I was intrigued when Arc System Works announced that they were making a Visual Novel in the BlazBlue universe. Always having had interesting stories and characters between this and the older running series of Guilty Gear, being able to experience the narrative elements without having to literally fight for it was a treat in and of itself.
