Hit harder, fight faster, win weirder!

BlazBlue Calamity Trigger, a fun, fast, colorful, and complex fighting game featuring original characters, spectacular moves, surprisingly engaging story, and excellent dynamic music, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $8.99 for the first week!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/blazblue_calamity_trigger][/url]BlazBlue Calamity Trigger is the first hi-res 2D fighter from the creators of the Guilty Gear series! It's a traditional 2D fighter where two characters participate in a duel. The story of the game involves dissent and destruction among a powerful council, known unofficially as "the Library," which controls a great power that once saved humanity, but which now wields its power in protective, some say repressive, ways. A round is called a "rebel" and one match can consist of one to five "rebels". To win a round, one player must incapacitate the other by reducing their opponent's health to zero or have more remaining health than their opponent when the clock runs out. Every character has a weak, medium, and strong attack. Also everyone has a "unique" technique, called a Drive attack, which is different for each character. The game comes with a full high-quality MP3 soundtrack that's an equivalent of 2 CDs and totals 42 exhilarant tracks!

If you feel like some satisfying, stylish, and sublte video game violence today, make sure to grab BlazBlue Calamity Trigger for only $8.99 on GOG.com! The 10% special launch discount offer lasts only until Monday, April 21, at 9:59AM GMT. All worked up for some action?

Grargar: The game mentions single-player only in the game modes. But in the what's cool about it section it mentions 2 player Versus mode. Which of these is true?
We would put "multi-player" on there but then that would imply that the game allows you to play against others on-line.

The versus mode is basically two players fighting each other on the same computer locally.

edit: As you can see, we can't call it co-op due to the mode being, well, versus :)

Crosmando: Ahhh, twitchy fighting games, the genre I completely suck at. I don't think I was even able to do a Fatality in MK even with the button code printed out right in front of me.
Easiest MK fatality was Scorpion's :) Just press the Block button a bunch of times while near your opponent :)

Crosmando: Didn't know that, I liked Rain mostly because I could keep spamming the lightning strike attack.
You mean Raiden? Or was he called differently in Australia?

Oh wow, I guess it's been a whole since I played MK :)

zeffyr: Many sources say that PC release date was 2010-08-20. Where 2014 has been gotten from? :> Judas? :>
From the publisher :)

zeffyr: Strange. What's even stranger, official (?) BlazBlue site says 2012...

F4LL0UT: Maybe they are referring to the digital release stripped of the GFWL implementation or something? Maybe they considered *some* alteration in this version as notable enough to treat it as a separate product with its own release note. I don't know. Maybe it was just a typo. :P

xep624: Hahahahahahaha! What a lovely response Judas! Good on you! You made laugh loud!

F4LL0UT: I think he was just being honest. ^^
Exactly right :)

Siegor: The Blazblue games are some of the best in this generation. Great gameplay and a fascinating story (When was the last time you saw that in a fighting game?).
Not sure what the PC controls are but it might be better to play with a a controller. Having played them on PS I'm not sure how some moves that require you make a semi-circle with the analog stick could be done with mouse and keyboard.

groze: I played a lot of fighting games on the PC throughout the years, only with a keyboard, and I don't understand all those notions that a gamepad is better to input commands in these games... an arcade stick, definitely, but a gamepad? Not for me. It's a 2D game, using my directional keys mapped to I, J, K, L (I'm right-handed, inputting movement controls in 2D games with my right hand is more natural and intuitive) is a breeze. Oh, and as for semi-circles on keyboard: left, down, right/right, down, left if you use the direction/arrow keys, A, S, D/D, S, A if you're a WASD aficionado and J, K, L/L, K, J using my usual setup. Easy peasy.
I can just feel my fingers turning into claws as I read this. I tried playing Volgarr the Viking on keyboard and I had problems. No way I could play a fighting game on a keyboard :)

groze: Ha! LOL, well, I guess I just got used to it... I find playing 2D games on a keyboard to be easier than using a gamepad.
You must have ten fingers per hand or something :P Seriously speaking though, I think it stems from my playing my first 2D scrolling games on the NES with its controller and so, for me, the idea of playing the same on a keyboard is just alien to me :)

InfraSuperman: Well, One Must Fall 2097 works really well with a keyboard. Of course, it helps that it was specifically developed for PC.
I'd still play it with a controller/game pad just because of the fact that I already tend to try and type through a keyboard (I have the typing equivalent of a lead foot :D) so trying to use the keys with quick repetitive movements is not a good thing for me :)
