Through PC development tools such as MUGEN and Fighter Maker, from time to time we see some pretty amazing homebrewed fighters. The flavor of the moment, hailing out of Japan and getting a ton of recognition, is Vanguard Princess. The game is credited to Sugeno Tomoaki, rumored to be an ex-employee of Capcom, and features a unique setup for 2D fighters, but, best of all, the game is completely free for your PC
Enter Vanguard Princess, billed as a two-on-two fighting game developed by former Capcom sprite designer Tomoaki “Suge9″ Sugeno. The game itself consists of an all-girl cast of 10 major characters and four to five assist characters. (Not counting the DLC characters.) Each major character has their own quirks, and there’s a pretty unique approach to some of them regarding fighting styles
It seems that anime and fighting games always seem to find themselves in a symbiotic relationship. On one hand you have anime girls in skimpy clothing and on the other you have these girls go up against each other in a battle to the end. This formula has worked for several fighting franchises and even lead to some of those franchises being staples of the fighting community. While Vanguard Princess is certainly a very capable 2D fighting game, there just isn’t enough to set this apart and make it the new fighting game du jour.
You can pay what you want for Guilty Gear Isuka, so if you love that series, snatch this up to have it wherever you go. Vanguard Princess can be yours by beating the average of around $4, while Blade Symphony is added to the mix at $10.
