About This Game

BlazBlue: Central Fiction is the culmination of Arc System Works' long-running 2D fighter, pairing hand-drawn sprites with one of the most character-specific rosters in the genre, where each fighter runs on a bespoke Drive mechanic rather than shared tools. The result is a game where learning a character means learning a near-unique system, backed by the series' famously sprawling visual-novel story.

The art, mechanical variety and deep lore are what devotees celebrate; the caveats are an intimidating learning curve and an online scene thinned by the game's age. It suits players who want mechanical individuality and a story that treats its universe seriously, less so newcomers looking for a gentle, standardised entry into anime fighters.
