Release Date: October 6, 2016
Another installment in the popular series of fighting games developed by Arc System Works. The story was divided into three chapters and it tells about the further adventures of characters known from the previous entries in the series. There are also new characters like Hibiki Kohaku, Naoto Kurogane and Hades Izanami.
BlazBlue: Central Fiction is another installment of the renowned series of two-dimensional fighting games. This installment finishes the story started in 2009 with Persona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex. The game debuted on arcades in November 2015 and a few months later it was released on PC, PS4 and PS3.
The story of BlazBlue: Central Fiction for PC, PS4 and PS3 was divided into three acts in which the player learns the fate of characters known from the previous entries in the series and a couple of new ones – Hibiki Kohaku (Kagura’s assistant), Naoto Kurogana (the protagonist of Bloodedge Experience) and Hades Izanami (the true antagonist of the whole series). Among the old friends the player can find Ragna the Bloodedge, Jin Kisaragi, Noel Vermillion, Rachel Alucard, Taokaka, Carl Clover, Litchi Faye-Ling and many others.
The gameplay of BlazBlue: Central Fiction for PC, PS4 and PS3 is very similar to the one available in the previous installment in the series, Blazblue: Chrono Phantasma. However, the developers introduced some novelties. The most important one is Exceed Accel, a special type of Distortion Drive that deals powerful damage and immediately consumes the Overdrive. Another new mechanic is Active Flow which is the opposition of the Negative Penalty. It activates when player is fighting very aggressively and it provides additional bonuses (greater damage, also in the case of Exceed Accel, faster regenerating of Burst bar). In addition to that, a few changes related to Overdrive were introduced (when activated, it provides more damage and other bonuses) and the character portraits were modified.
The game offers a few modes. In addition to the classic Arcade Mode and multiplayer options, the title introduces two additional modes – Speed Star Mode and Alliance Mode. In the former the player is tasked with defeating a specific number of AI-controlled opponents within a certain time limit. Interestingly, in this mode the player doesn’t lose health when being successfully attacked. In the latter the player selects a team of four warriors which are used in fights against teams of opponents. The defeated warriors can be recruited to player’s team.
BlazBlue: Central Fiction for PC, PS4 and PS3 uses similar graphics style as the previous installment in the series. It is a fighting game that uses manga style. The visuals of the game are filled with spectacular and impressive attacks.

Game Ratings for BlazBlue: Central Fiction Video Game.
Rice Digital: 5 / 5
I couldn’t think of a better game to end a long running franchise than BlazBlue: Central Fiction. Just as it’s starting to show its grays, the game warps up most of the story threads. It has near flawless execution of almost every aspect imaginable and can be equally enjoyable for newcomers and long time players alike. And while this does end the Azure chapter of the story, we are sure that this is not the end of the BlazBlue universe, but instead a beginning for a new generation of titles.
Metro GameCentral: 8 / 10
BlazBlue goes out in a blaze of glory, and although it lacks new ideas it certainly isn’t short of characters, game modes, or thrilling action.
Reno Gazette-Journal: 4.25 / 5 by Jason Hidalgo
BlazBlue: Central Fiction is a fun, polished fighter that harkens back to the day when Gamest Mooks ruled Japan and 2D fighting games ruled the world. The anime-style story and characters won’t be for everyone and the lack of English voice acting might turn off some folks. Its hand-drawn style, however, is a gorgeous rendition of 2D fighting games while its gameplay is both technical and accessible, which will satisfy experts and beginners alike. Add the most fleshed-out story you’ll ever see in a fighter and you’ve got a worthy addition to your library.
