BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle Reviews
While BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle may have surprised many with its announcement, the release will surprise even more by just how good it is. If you're a fan of any of these franchises, you should check out this game.
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle doesn't do anything to revolutionize the crossover tag team fighting system, it simply sticks to a formula that has worked before and does a great job with it.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle has some issues, but the gameplay is exciting and deep enough that fans of any of the franchises on display here will have a good time.
Even in spite of its issues, Cross Tag Battle is an easy recommendation for even casual fans of fighting games, or of any of the franchises represented within it.
Overall, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is another solid fighter from the newly crowned king of fighters, but it is also a disappointingly smaller package than what fans expect from the publisher.
While it doesn't revolutionize fighting games as a whole, BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is a fun 2D fighter sure to appeal to fans of any of the crossed-over series as well as those who just love a good match.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a fun fighting game that succeeds in taking three very different games (and a western anime) and reaching a compromise on what system to use.
All in all, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is an excellent fighting game. Thanks to gorgeous presentation, robust mechanics, and an entertaining story mode, it stands out as one of the better, if not the best fighting game this generation.
There is no shortage of fighting games out there, and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is an excellent addition to your fighting game library.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a good Fighting game but if the arenas and gameplay had more depth, the game could be categorized as a really great fighting game. Tag system is so much fun and combos are amazing, but in other hand story and story telling are awful. In the End i must say that if you are fan of fighting games and don't care so much about story-telling, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a good choice for you to play with its fun gameplay and amazing combos.

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle has got the fanservice down, but it feels more like a tribute to Arc System Works' other games than its own unique beast. Its simplified fighting game mechanics, along with its reused assets, makes it only worth it for the most diehard of fans.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is not a bad game; It's fast, fluid and entertaining. But in the end, enjoying it depends on players' taste. If this is your first time trying a fighting game or you don't want complex mechanics, then you will have a lot of fun. But if you prefer technical controls and the same amount of content and quality that was available in the past BlazBlue titles, you will be utterly disappointed.

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a solid fighter. It's just a sad state of affairs when you notice just how unfinished it feels in some areas.
The hectic gameplay, cool visuals and robust offline and online experiences make it one of the better fighters out on the Switch right now. It's easy to get lost if you're diving headfirst into the series, and to be really good probably takes a lot of practice. But it captures everything that makes tag battle games fun and delivers in one visually striking package.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is far from Arc System Work's best fighter, but it remains a very fun diversion.
For all its DLC problems and lacklustre content, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is still a fun fighting game to play both online and offline. It is a much more simplified and newbie-friendly BlazBlue game than any in the main series, but that doesn't prevent it from having anything going for it. These franchises deserved better, though; this should have been a bigger celebration of Arc System Works' characters, and it's a real pity that more love wasn't put into it. With any luck, a complete package will release in the future - hopefully with some extra modes that do the BlazBlue name some justice.
Thank you to PQube for kindly supplying the review code for this title. BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is out in Europe on June 22nd. Also, we have the exclusive European collector's edition which you can purchase right here on PS4, and here on Switch.
Overall, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a mixed package.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is an incredibly fun and varied fighting game with some great combat mechanics. It is the lack of content and a poor character roster for a fighting game crossover that makes it an overall disappointing product.
Blazblue Cross Tag Battle does have some fun parts, but on the whole, feels lacking.
