Since its reveal in 2021, Guilty Gear Strive has proven to be the “Guilty Gear for everyone.” At its core, it’s a rockin’ fighting game developed by the same company behind Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker for Sega. Now, the story of the Gears, the Crusades, and the return of magic to the world can be experienced in its entirety like never before. Not to mention, it’s one of the more mechanic-heavy titles in the genre. Thanks to the Nintendo Switch, Guilty Gear Strive can now reach a larger audience—especially for those who want to play on the go.
Game Name: Guilty Gear Strive Switch Edition
Platform(s): Nintendo Switch
Publisher(s): Ark System Works
Developer(s): Ark System Works
Release Date: January 23, 2025
Visually, Guilty Gear’s latest iteration proves that transitioning from its 2D roots to 2.5D is something Arc System Works can do flawlessly. Xrd revolutionized the series with Unreal Engine 3, and Arc System Works’ ability to create an anime-faithful, competitive fighting game like Dragon Ball FighterZ helped pave the way for Strive. And we’re talking about a franchise that hadn’t seen a strong 2D Dragon Ball fighting game since the SNES-era Hyper Dimension.
