Gaming Age writes: "Battle Fantasia is a new (over here at least) 2D/3D fighter from the devs that brought us the Guilty Gear titles, Arc System Works. It's a bit of a throwback to older 2D fighters, in that it features a small roster, a relatively simple story mode, and some really classic style gameplay with familiar button combo's and character archetypes that'll be familiar to anyone growing up with stuff like Street Fighter, SNK titles, or any other cartoonish fighters in general.
The actual gameplay of Battle Fantasia is carried out on a 2D plane, with 3D fighters who do a pretty good job of resembling sprite work without actually being sprites. The characters themselves have a wide range of design, and according to your taste in anime influenced art, they actually look pretty good for the most part. A couple of them are a little generic and would seem a bit more at home in an RPG (which is part of the style here), like the young magician, rabbit fighter, or the cat girl waitress, but for the most part I liked the design of everyone included".
