Picked up the game on the Steam Halloween sale for 99 cents. Played the game for about 45 minutes and beat Arcade Mode with two characters (Beat and Mia) without losing a round.It's a decent little fighter, ESEPCIALLY for the price I paid. Very reminiscent of 90s fights where they were just starting to use Supers, Cancels and the like. Think Street Fighter Alpha, but not as good. Still, I more than got my money's worth and I'll pick it up from tiem to time to see the other characters' endings.. really fun fighting game. no reason not to get it at 5 dollars. just wish there was online!. This game is legit. Fun 2D fighter with large roster of interesting characters, cool stages, story scenes. A lot of content for a low price. I look forward to learning the combat system more in-depth.A few things were rough around the edges. The sound is panned which is a little weird for a 2D fighter but not a deal breaker. Also it seemed like the AI was able to block sometimes when it seemed like they should have been hit stunned, but I may just not know the system well enough yet.. Battle High 2 A+ is not a quality fighting game, not even in comparison to mediocre arcade fighters of the 90's. Movement is choppy throughout the game (I've only played training and arcade mode), and special moves, especially supers, are often difficult to execute even though their commands are simple. Speaking of special moves, there are apparently no EX moves, despite that there is a three-section super meter; in other words, your super meter increases by three stages, yet you can't do anything with it until it reaches maximum capacity. There are yet more problems with this game. The excessive pushback that one suffers from successfully attacking an opponent makes executing combos a difficult task. Combo execution is further complicated by the small size of the sprites: it is difficult to use spacing to one's advantage when the sprites seem so distant from the player's perspective. (My computer opponents actually spent most of their time shadow boxing on the other end of the screen!) Lastly, there are serious audio issues with this game regarding volume levels, specifically. The audio seems fine in the menu, pause screen, etc., but during matches, the music volume plummets. I have my music volume set to twice the value of the voices and sound effects, yet I can hardly hear the music during matches. Lastly (for real this time), while stage artwork appears smooth, the sprites are roughly pixelated. If everything were pixelated, this would actually be a smaller concern, but since only the sprites are pixelated (again, roughly so), it makes the whole scene look rather awkward.The game's only saving grace, I think, is in its character concepts. In arcade mode, I played Principal, who is basically a school principal and aspiring dictator with psychic powers, including the ability to conjure large fists of psychic energy. I tend to appreciate goofy character concepts such as this; unfortunately, the game's overall flawed design made playing the character burdensome, not fun. Halfway through arcade mode, I found myself hoping that the experience would be over soon. In conclusion, although the game has an interesting concept, it plays so poorly that I wouldn't recommend it even if it were free. If you want a cheap fighting game, make a big wishlist and wait for something much better to go on sale for $5 or less... or just buy Last Blade 2 for $10 and call it a day. :)
