As you win or lose matches (as defeat does not necessarily mean "Game Over"), the story progresses, often giving you simple choices to make and the story diverges accordingly. Before each battle you'll be prompted to save, so if you do end up losing, and want to take an alternate route, you can always reload and give it another shot. You may very well get to the end of the branch only to find you haven't unlocked the "true" ending for your character, leading to genuine replayability to try and take the right fork in the road (don't worry, there's no crappy Heavy Rain QTEs).
Bit Cultures writer Conner plays through his Steam library in alphabetical order, writes a brief summary of his experience on each game, and then gives them his own personal rating. Here's week 10 of Steam A to Z. This week - BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Blocks That Matter, BloodRayne: Betrayal, and Borderlands.
Funimation have announced the English voice cast for the BlazBlue: Alter Memory anime, which they have licensed for release in the U.S.
DJ Killzown Jones of RGN writes, "BlazBlue Calamity Trigger is still a solid fighter that PC fighting game fans should pick up . It is a bit of a disappointment that long load times of the games original release are still present and the games sequels aren’t offered as expansions/add on’s but these things alone should shy away games that haven’t played the game or others who are returning to the series."
