nostalgia of 2D pixel art genre pioneers while incorporating a
unique games system with modern mechanics. Blazing Strike has

Blazing Strike features a four-button system with six normal
attacks: light, medium and heavy punches and kicks, as well as
three defense moves: block, guard and parry. A Rush Trigger
enables fighters to execute fast-paced attacks and movements, but
using it will slowly drain the Rush Meter, sending the character
into a temporary groggy state. This allows players to execute
exciting combos while having to manage the Rush Meter. The game
will include three play modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and VS
Mode, with training, sparring, and online match via Persona AI,
and online play powered by GGPO.

Impression: |
First revealed nearly 5 years
ago... Blazing Strike was originally announced for a 2022 release but
later delayed to October 2024 — which is understandable for a small developer
working on an indie 2D fighting passion project. At first glance, Blazing
Strike is an attractive title for nostalgic 2D fighting game fans —
boasting traditional 2D character sprites, backgrounds, and inspirations from
the iconic fighting games of the 90s.
2024 is a super-competitive year for fighting games, with triple A titles like Street
Fighter 6, TEKKEN 8,
and Guilty Gear -STRIVE-
making huge waves in eSports. Even so, it's great to see another indie 2D
fighter trying to stand out and make a name for itself at such a competitive
time. Stay tuned on The Fighters Generation for updates and first
impressions coming soon.
