Synopsis

Critical Blow is a 1v1 fighting game, and the sequel to Shadow Struggle. Although the game has a full 3D view, the game takes place in a traditional 2D plane. In addition to a standard life gauge, each character has a special gauge, which increases as the battle progresses and allows characters to use special moves of varying power, called assault moves, super moves and critical hits. Several game modes also allow the player to win, apply and wager a number of card types, which provide different benefits to the character such as extra moves, stronger attacks or elemental affinities.

The game has four different game modes: Tournament, Trading, Theater and Versus. The tournament is a standard arcade mode where the player can select any available character and battle the others in sequence. Trading mode allows the player to battle computer opponents to earn additional cards. Theater Mode is the main story mode, with fully animated cutscenes following the main character, Rickey Leon. Finally, Versus mode is a free 2-player battle mode. It is possible to optionally use and bet cards in Versus mode. There are ten characters initially available, with several more unlocked as specific conditions are met.
