The Black Heart

The Black Heart

CHECKLIST

☑ A stabby, murderous child

☑ Grudge noises

☑ A tree that can, and will, kick fruit in your face

☑ An undying, genderswapping masochist

☑ A sexy spider lady

☑ A Lovecraftian worm creature that just-so-happens to be purple

The Black Heart features these six vastly different playable characters, each representing a different aspect of horror. They all mesh together into a smooth, satisfying fighting game that is wildly underrated in the mainstream FGC. The story and presentation are top-notch, as is the music and sound design.

A cool looking fighter game with horror and gore? sign me in!

At the time of writing this review I haven’t played the game a whole lot, but what little I did experience was very good!

…for the most part at least.

The only negatives I can think of are: the lack of content, and the lack of characters (although considering the price it’s no wonder that there isn’t as much content as in other fighting games). I understand that this might drive some people away from it. But if you happen to be brave enough I can guarantee that you won’t be dissapointed!

Two Strikes

Two Strikes

You feel the adrenaline pump though you as you inch closer to your opponent. Testing his defence you make a small swing with your blade and the ring of steel hitting steel fills the air. You leap back but, he presses the attack! A lighting flash from above as the hiss of metal once again masks the sound of footsteps. You realize the next move is a faint a second late as red hot pain fills your entire being. After another leap back you take in your situation. You’re hurt but alive. He smiles at you, takes a step closer and winds up for a powerful swing. you feel a wash of air rush past your neck and head as you lean back and follow through with a powerful swing of your own. suddenly everything is quiet. you take a deep breath as your opponent falls to the ground.

TWOOO STRIKES?!

But the saying goes “Fool me once, strike one, fool me twice, strike three.”

WHERE’S STRIKE TWO? THERE’S NO TWOOOO STRIKES! THIS IS MADNESS! AHAHAHAHAHA

Fast-paced gameplay with spectacular visuals and a breathtaking soundtrack.

It’s very unique as a fighting game too. The meta is derived entirely of psych-outs, counters, and whiff punishes. There’s no okizeme, no combos, no blockstrings, not even crossups. it’s pure grounded neutral. It’s the epitome of simple, yet deep gameplay.

NAIR

NAIR

The concept of this game is quite simple, but it’s executed in a way that makes it really fun. Movement/dash dancing feels super natural, and the combos are fun.

Everyone says red is overpowered and yes, red does have a ton of tools, but I think blue players will be developing good counterplay soon.

Malicious Mages

Malicious Mages

Malicious Mages is a capture the flag brawler – Choose from a various cast of magic users and battle it out against other players to capture the mysterious blue orb.

Everyone is after this glowing blue orb. Fight other players to grab the orb and bring it to your side of the level to win. Once you get it there, you have to place the orb down and protect it for ten seconds until you score.

What’s the gameplay like?

You play the game locally against other players, the levels are completely symmetrical and you have to move across the side-scrolling stage traveling from room to room until you reach your goal. 3D characters in a 2D plane

Each player has a very low health bar. It doesn’t take many hits to kill a player, killing them is just a way to quickly get them out of your way so you can keep moving to your goal. After you kill them, they respawn quickly ahead of you in your path.

The Side-Scrolling Camera tracks the player that currently has the orb. If you go off-screen, you will disappear and then respawn ahead of the running player’s path.

The level is broken down into different rooms. Once the running player with the orb goes into another room, the screen fades and the opposing player despawns and respawns in the next room.

Each player can cast powerful spells. Spells are considered specials, once you’ve gathered enough mana from breaking props in the level you can use them to give yourself an advantage or deal a terrible blow.

Base attacks are free. Players have a catalog of free combat actions they can do to attack the other player without needing mana

What’s the story about?

In modern times, a cast of magic users fight to gain control over a mysterious blue orb.

If they have control over the orb during a special alignment, they can use the orb to summon The Painter a god that painted the night sky. The Painter will then grant them very dangerous power. All of these mages have their own compelling reasons to gain control, who will come out on top?

I LOVE IT! I love the classic graphics. I love the music for sure! It’s simple, elegant, and fun! My ONLY request would be to make the shooting button right-CTRL instead of left-CTRL. I can cross my arms up anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker. It’s definitely worth adding to your library.

Daily Espada

Daily Espada

Daily Espada is a small gem, a 2D action with gameplay very dynamic and entertaining.

In the game there are many upgrades and extras such as super attacks, new combos etc.

Very beautiful boss battles, in maximum difficulty becomes truly play difficult, but still VERY fun!

In short, a game that does not cost much, and it provides a solid gameplay and fun!

I recommend it, and it’s a shame to see so few reviews, because the game is worth so much!

Slashing Brazilian folklore monsters and bosses, saving the world and making your family rich in the wierdest game show ever? Sign me up. The game is short by my accounts. Graphics are dark and unique, but also can lead to some visual confusion. Not greatness, but fun, short, but enjoyable.
