Akatsuki Blitzkampf

In an alternate future ravaged by war, Japanese Imperial soldier Akatsuki wakes up - fifty years after he was left for dead. Finding himself with strange new powers he sets out to change the world for the better, all while avoiding the world powers who want to capture him for their own purposes.

This one-on-one 2D fighting game is known for its "old school" gameplay that contrasts with the other fighting games available at the time it was released. It features a focus on positioning and mindgames over long flashy combos. Like many other doujin fighting games, there are three attack buttons, weak, medium, and strong; players can combo weaker normals into stronger ones. All characters also feature a parry, known as the reflector, which can be activated by pressing the B+C buttons; parried attacks can't be cancelled, leaving opponents vulnerable and leaving the defending player open to counterattack.
