Arcana Blast costs one power meter and enables a fighter to be invulnerable temporarily. Arcana Homing costs one meter of the homing gauge and allows players to split and perform a Homing Cancel. Finally, Critical Heart consumes all 3 meters of the power gauge and enables the use of a powerful super move when the fighters are at a specific distance.

BOTTOM LINE

   

   

 

Final Words: It's not very likely that I'll ever play the original version of Arcana Heart 2, since it's limited to Japanese arcades and an overseas version is difficult to come by. But that's okay. The good news is... I did get a chance to play and review the two sequels that released after Arcana Heart 2... those titles being Arcana Heart 2: Suggoi! and Arcana Heart 3.
