The Black Heart

One of the best fighting games I've ever played A pure shining pearl made before A.I. on an ancient engine originated on DOS! - PIXEL PERFECT PIXEL ART - it was made originally for VGA, still in VGA. No crappy pixel scaling, no crappy pixelization. - It has only 8 characters and 8 stages but each character is incredibly thought out and put together in a very believable way within its world. Incredible attention to detail in characters and stages - The game is not as combo-ridden as most modern fighting games, it is more akin to classic Street Fighter games with short combos like Light attack>Heavy attack > Special > Super, with a few chars able to chain two light attacks. - Moves, specials and super specials feels "heavy", that makes it even more satisfying when you land them on a combo - Characters are deeply touching and with very different motivations. I particularly like Hachi, an elemental of nature amid either evil, crazy or conscious-less entities. - Impressive OST and sound effects I barely played this version yet but could already feel the many QOL implemented. I have played the older version A LOT and it was already on my list of GAMING PEARLS. If you like fighting gam…

Such a weird and wacky fighting game. Every character feels extremely unique and they all have a lot of charm. There's three bonus characters for the story mode (took me like 4 hours to get them), but even just the base roster is a lot of fun to mess around in. Simple MK style controls as well as fatal moves let anyone jump in and learn how to do moves easily. What a fun little game.

I played the original game back when it was released on GameJolt in 2014. It's a pretty nice fighting game, so give it a go

Estás pagando por un mugen, por freeware, un motor gráfico cuya cualidad es ser gratis, yo lo compré en oferta, pero 10k por esto es un robo, sin embargo tiene 2 virtudes, sirve para subir de nivel por los cromos (es una lástima que no tenga logros siendo más fácil y menos costoso poner logros que cromos) y al ser justamente un mugen, los archivos son los mismos de siempre, podés usar vselect y poner los personajes que quieras, los escenarios que quieras, screenpacks, etc. Se inclina más a ser plata mal gastada, pero bueno, se le puede sacar cierto provecho (más que nada poder hacer tu propio mugen y tenerlo en steam, poder sacar capturas y que se vea que estás jugando)

Developed by Andrés Borghi and published by Saibot Studios, The Black Heart is a distinctive indie fighting game that embraces the spirit of classic arcade brawlers while building an unforgettable identity through horror-inspired storytelling and grotesque fantasy. Originally crafted over the course of seven years by a single developer, the project is an impressive demonstration of passion and perseverance. Nearly every aspect of the game, including its programming, artwork, music, and overall design, reflects a unified creative vision that is rarely seen in independent productions. Rather than relying solely on nostalgia, it uses its inspirations as a foundation for something darker, stranger, and far more personal. The game's narrative centers on a parallel world thrown into chaos after its ruler is murdered and the source of his immense power, the Black Heart, is stolen by a mysterious being named Final. This single event draws together a cast of six supernatural fighters, each pursuing the artifact for reasons rooted in revenge, ambition, survival, or personal desire. Instead of presenting a straightforward tournament, the story gives every character a place within the larger …
