Iron Saga VS

update: After downloading it on Steam OS, it finally ran smoothly at first, but it stopped working again due to the Steam OS Proton issue. This game is really complicated. I even had to go around Google to find the solution myself... I can't even get Black Getter because it's from an old update. Sometimes, hacking mods is a solution to force open the Black Getter lock... & The strangest thing is, I have to keep changing to another type of proton to be able to run this game. If there is a sign of a blurry, broken screen, it means the game has failed to enter. The strangest game I've encountered, when I tested playing the game, it just stood still on the iron saga vs logo without any loading, while playing the mobile version called zero, it ran smoothly but getter robo & other collaborations were still locked waiting for the collaboration event to return, while the PC version got a free black getter?, I complained to the email but there was no reply, even though my steam deck in window mode can play any game smoothly, I think I want a refund or I can test it in steam os mode

On paper, this is a very good game. It features a good amount of characters, each with two or more "arsenals" that substantially change their movesets, and a sizable portion of the roster consist of guest units from mecha anime like [i]Mazinger Z[/i], [i]Getter Robo[/i] and [i]Dancouga[/i]. The modes include training, a per-character combo practice, an arcade mode and the classic 1-on-1 duel, online and off-line alike… At least, on paper. [i]Iron Saga VS[/i] has had connectivity issues since launch, and they have only ever grown worse to the point that the game consistently fails to perform the authentication and validate whatever content I have unlocked. As a result, I can't access the daily quests or the DLC arsenals for [i]Black Getter[/i] and [i]Mazinkaiser[/i] (despite them being theoretically free and unlocked for every player), much less play online. I have no idea whether this is an issue specifically with Linux since I'm playing on a Steam Deck but, then again, this game is [i]Steam Deck verified[/i] so I'm expecting it to "just work". I'd be happy to give this game a thumbs up, but in its current state I can barely even play it.

Great fighting game, Getter is pretty epic.

For smaller fighting game this is a lot of fun. The mechs have a lot of personality and the controls feel decent. Mechanically speaking it has some depth but nothing the average person couldn't understand. The combos are not super intense and can be achieved pretty easily. The translation is rough in spots with spelling and grammar issues here and there but not enough to hinder your understanding. The game worked with every fightstick and hitbox I used. It is not a very active game though, don't expect to get a match in ranked without looking for matches in a discord.

I love seeing fighting games based on different series. I was sleeping on this game since I haven't seen much mecha anime but it's a pretty game. It's been a while since a new fighting game series came out with a variety of motion imputs and diffrent motion supers

A challenging fighter, that can reward precision with terrifiying combos. Be warned, all these classic robots look super cool, and are well animated. Friendly community.
