3D Arena fighter with teams of mecha fighting it out. The 2on2 Virtual-On game. Many mechanics were simplified from previous titles and the game has a slower pace.

However with new mechanics came a lot of new techniques and it plays very differently. Melee is stronger in this system and good 2on2 play requires strong teamwork and situational awareness.

Still has a sizeable japanese community, though understandably far less popular than Gundam VS which is a similar 2v2 game & more fleshed out.

[Played on the PS4's Virtual-On Masterpiece Collection]

Virtual-On is always fun, even if I thoroughly suck at it, and this felt like a solid one for sure. Any gameplay/control complaints I have feel invalidated by "git gud" since being good is such an integral part of the game design in this series, so it's hard to pick any real flaws out as such here.

As for how I would rank this compared to other VO games? I... really couldn't tell you, haha.
