Aksys Games and Arc System Works have released their newest fighting game BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma EXTEND. Some of the additions in the EXTEND edtiion are an extended (no pun intended) roster of 28 playable characters, new stages as well as a more in depth story mode. Some of the features included in the new version are
CRUSH ‘EM! – With the all-new revamped Guard Gauge system, players can now determine when to attack/block using the Barrier Gauge meter. When your opponent’s Barrier Gauge meter is depleted, unleash a powerful barrier-shattering move, Guard Crush!
Ready to Fight with Style? – With Stylish Mode activated, even beginners can perform flashy attacks and combos! Four new features have been added to Stylish Mode: Auto Guard, Combo Attacks, Special Abilities, and Distortion Drive. These features allow players new to fighting games to pull off advanced combos!
New Stage, Characters and Additional Scenarios! – There will be a total of 28 playable characters with two new exciting characters, Celica and Lambda! BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma EXTEND includes brand new scenarios and contains digest versions of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, so both new and returning players can enjoy Story Mode. Celica also comes with a brand new stage, Ishana, the land of memories!
Remix Heart- –Tired from all that fighting? Take a break and enjoy a heart-warming comedic story (mode) featuring two high school girls, Mai Natsume and Kajun Faycott, as well as the characters from the main scenario, Noel, Tsubaki, and Makoto!
My Room – The online lobby room has been updated! Now you can invite your friends or your opponents into your customizable room while you wait for your match. Spectator mode is also available for the players waiting in your room.
With the PS3, PS4 and Xbox One version launching yesterday, no Xbox 360 version is currently in the works. The Vita version, however, will be available July 28th.
