Booting Up the Boundary: My First Few Runs
TL;DR
- Combat absolutely slaps – Responsive controls, deep combo potential, and faithful translations of classic BlazBlue move sets.
- Progression is rich but opaque – Mind Strength and Avatar Inheritance are smart ideas wrapped in confusing UI and jargon.
- Balance is inconsistent – Characters like Noel, Ragna, and (once mastered) Hakumen feel far stronger than much of the cast.
- Story is more connected but still messy – Lots of nods for fans, not much clarity for anyone else.
- Switch version has rough edges – Occasional glitches, small text, and a cluttered interface make handheld play harder than it should be.
- Recommended if you love complex roguelikes and BlazBlue, and you’re patient enough to wrestle with confusing systems.
