I was at my peak interest in fighting games, Guilty Gear was on some kind of hiatus, and this was the next best thing with its own cool twists. Eventually, I fell off. It was hard to keep up with all the new versions, and as I got older I lost the ability to hang in those faster-paced “anime” fighters. The world and story also felt incomprehensible, which made venturing into spinoffs and things like visual novels feel like silly prospects. But when 2026 kicks off with a sidescrolling action-flavored roguelike that just looks like Ragna the Bloodedge fighting ninjas with his demonic blood powers, someone like me pays attention.
