Blazing Strike is out now for PC and consoles

Developer RareBreed Makes Games has announced its arcade-style fighting game Blazing Strike is out now for PC and consoles.

Inspired by the likes of developers SNK and Capcom, “My vision with Blazing Strike is to make a fighting game enjoyable for all gamers regardless of their experience in the fighting game genre,” says creator Mark Chung. “Let’s bring back the nostalgia from the 90s and make it fun to play today!”

Check out a trailer for the game below, and some info we have on it.

Developed by RareBreed Makes Games, Blazing Strike evokes the excitement and nostalgia of 2D pixel art genre pioneers while incorporating a unique games system with modern mechanics. Numskull Games is also offering a Limited Edition of Blazing Strike which includes a full-colour 112-page art book, a CD soundtrack, and a set of collectible character cards featuring the roster of fighters.

After surviving an apocalyptic event, the remains of human civilization are in disarray. In this dystopian world run by a corrupt and murderous government, a resistance group is ready to stand up for the people. Will they succeed in overthrowing these evil autocrats? Join the battle to face the strongest fighters in this post-apocalyptic world as they are destined to clash in a long journey to victory.
