Granblue Fantasy Versus is an interesting experiment, that can bring new users into the fighting game community… unless they're interested in the single player side: the built-in RPG does not offer a real challenge.

Granblue Fantasy: Versus might not fulfill your dreams of providing a deep RPG and fighter in one, but given that the bulk of the game is focused on what Arc knows best, it's easier to overlook that sin. Hardcore players might scoff at the lower ceiling compared to other fighters, but there's a lot of potential here, and the meta will only continue to evolve.

A spectacle in visual and soundtrack terms with the seal of quality of Arc System Works, although it lacks in game modes and the Story becomes repetitive too soon. Luckily it's a pretty accesible fighter, so anyone can enjoy the epicness of the battles.

Granblue Fantasy Versus is the ultimate trick of Arc System Works: a fighter game that's easy to learn, perfect for beginners, but very satisfying at the same time.

Granblue Fantasy: Versus feels like one of those games that will get better with time, as the rough bits get smoothed over with future patches, but as it stands, it's only "pretty good" rather than "great." Thankfully, the core gameplay is actually a lot of fun, and punching folks feels and looks good with creative characters front and center. It's better than "fine," but just misses out on being a real champion of a fighting video game.

Although Granblue Fantasy: Versus’ small roster and poor story mode gameplay hold it back, highly polished fighting mechanics and a great sense of style make this fighter a successful debut for the series on a larger scale.

Overall Granblue Fantasy: Versus provides a seriously enjoyable experience that allows itself to open up to new and more casual players without alienating fighting game veterans. It’s got some great depth and wonderfully satisfying visuals in combat.

I am impressed with 2020’s first fighting game offering. Not only will veterans enjoy the best of both a Street Fighter and an anime fighter title, but newbies will have fun getting into an accessible fighting game that gets deeper over time.

We are facing a franchise that is going to give a lot to talk about in the next generation, because playably it is "bocato di cardinale", artistically it has no rival or it has very few, and this will only improve with the next characters that will be added , settings, and who knows if modes. If you like fighting games, if you like its aesthetics, don't miss it.

For those longing to pass time, this game will do it and it offers quite a bit of replayability for those looking for both online and offline options. The best part of it all is the thing that seems to be the least mentioned route: Local multiplayer options. It's fun and it does give the game an extra lifeline for those wanting to have something to play with their friends.

Granblue Fantasy Versus has a few issues, but it’s an excellent game for fighting game newcomers and people who want a simpler fighter for a change. The story is thin and repetitive, but the varied characters and strong visuals mostly make up for these issues.

Overall, I came in knowing very little about Granblue Fantasy, and I came out not knowing much more. Despite this, Granblue Fantasy Versus is a unique and competent fighter.

Granblue Fantasy: Versus, made by the veteran developers in Arc System works, utilizes a unique and interesting gameplay which has good depth despite its simplicity. The excellent tutorial section of this title has made it easy to recommend to players new to fighting games. Nevertheless, the scarcity of singleplayer content, boring RPG Mode, controversies surrounding DLC characters, and a net code that leaves much to be desired, have somewhat hurt the game

Granblue Fantasy Versus is yet another arcade fighting from Arc System Works and like many others, this one also doesn't disappoint, and while some gameplay mechanics might not be as deep and well-developed when compared to leading games in the genre, overall gameplay experience and the RPG mode are enough to make it one of the top choices for the fans of the genre.

A gorgeous fighting game even for those unfamiliar with the source material, with an easy to grasp but hard to master fighting system, and a solid RPG mode that can be played solo or in co-op. A solid recommendation to a wide range of audiences.
