Hinokakera [3D Fighting Game]
Potential Pros & Cons PROS: - It's like Guilty Gear, Only 3D - Nice soundtrack with tunes that appropriately match each character - Deep combo system and many defensive abilities make this game great for novices and pros alike - Play over the net with a friend - Moderately Challenging - The latest version (Hinokakera - fragment:Eclipse) has a story mode that's pretty decent - The game has some incredible super moves - The special effects of attacks is very nice for a doujin game - A small staff produces big results for a cheap price - Little to no Japanese knowledge is required to enjoy this game CONS: - The game could've used more stages - The latest version of the game only has 13 characters total - A couple of other unlockables would have helped - Controls seem a little loose - Most character models look a little plain and rudimentary Vyse States:"As with most doujin games or PC games in general, you should only buy the most recent version of the game to get the most bang for your buck. Otherwise, you have to keep waiting for additional upgrades. While I'm not sure if a newer version of Hinokakera is in development, Hinokakera - fragment:Eclipse (the latest version) makes for a decent buy. The game has a deep fighting system and some of the craziest special attacks I've ever seen. Hinokakera - fragment:Eclipse is pretty nice, but I wouldn't get the other two versions if I were getting Eclipse."Game Screenshots: Hinokakera - fragment:Eclipse
