I’ve played worse, but Fantasy Strike ain’t great. It does simplicity like, ok, but some decisions I still question like making healthbars have a set amount of ticks instead of being an actual healthbar. Also David Sirlin can suck it for copyrighting the term Yomi, weirdo.

i understand that its good for what it did for getting people into the genre, and its well made, but i think its kinda overhyped

The ultimate introduction to fighting games. Should probably be at the top of the to do list for anyone who wants to get good at the genre.


This is one of the worst and most broken games I've played

What not getting to work on SF IV does to a mf

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Look I can commend the devs for trying to create a "simple" fighting game but you can also practically hear them going

"Oh wittle baby, no no no you can't have optwin Swewects and wearn combos they'll hurt your wittle head poor baby, you don't need to go into training mode. Awwww poor baby you need your bottle of milk wittle scrub???"

Straight up most condescending fighting game of all time and plays like garbo, I promise anyone who is interested in fighting games that you can pick up anything else instead if you put your mind into it. Don't do this to yourself, please.

I only played the F2P version, I did not shell out for the $20 Core Pack, because I honestly do not care at all about these characters; all of whom are painfully bland to look at and listen to. Not ONE single character in this game has an ounce of drip, every one of them look and sounds incredibly generic. All the music tracks and stages as well are both painfully plain. Despite this, FS is still a half-decent babby's first fighting game; though you'll experience everything this game has to offer after just an hour or so of playing. It DOES have roll-back however, so that's a plus.


On one hand, the feeling that you're butting heads with a games skill ceiling an hour after starting it up can be a pretty bad feeling. On the other hand, holy shit me and my homies laugh our asses off and lose our minds playing this together, it's a lot of fun in it's madness. The biggest issue here is the aforementioned skill ceiling, it's missing a lot of that hard to quantify magic sauce known as depth. I think there is absolutely a place for games like Fantasy Strike, but I think games like it would have more staying power if they tried to provide access to depth instead of simplifying depth. Even the most popular online games kids play like Fortnite have an immense well of depth in strategy and design compared to this games.

Thanks for using Rollback.

Cyan! Magenta! YELLOWWW!!!

This game is not okay

The free version of the game on switch has several modes locked behind the ‘core version’, which like, just make the free version a demo to the full version and not make it seem like a free game

it's a pretty terrible fighting game with wack artstyle, bad gameplay and obnoxious dev. on top of that it's pretty much dead at this point because there are just far better alternatives to whatever fantasy strike tried to do.

please make it not free so less people would play it

This is the Street Fighter your mom tells you in the store that you have Street Fighter at home.

you want to get a fundamentals only experience? play footsies.

Pretty good for beginners

Not the best with balancing and will never get an update

Downloaded since a local Smash tournament was having this a side event. Too simple and the characters are very generic.

The game looks terrible and it's too simple to hang out with other fighting games. Even as an introduction to Fighting Games there are better options


An introductory fighting game is a good idea, but this is just oversimplified. If you want to learn fighting games, maybe it's best to jump in headfirst with something like GG Strive, or play some classics for 'free' through Fightcade (I recommend 3rd Strike).

The biggest case against rollback automatically making a game good

The dude with the ghost is the only decent thing in this “game”

im only giving it this high of a score because it has good netcode
