Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax (電撃文庫 FIGHTING CLIMAX, Dengeki Bunko Faitingu Kuraimakkusu) is a 2D arcade fighting game developed by Ecole Software and French Bread and published by Sega. The game celebrates the 20th anniversary of ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint, featuring various characters from light novels published under the imprint.[1] The game was first released in Japanese arcades on March 18, 2014[2] and later released on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on November 13, 2014.[3]

Gameplay

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is a two-dimensional fighting game, in which two players fight against each using both a playable fighter character and an assist character. Fighting uses three main attack buttons; weak, medium, and strong, and a support button used for summoning a player's assist character. After an assist character is summoned, players need to rebuild their support gauge before they can summon them again. By building the Climax Gauge with attacks, players can perform powerful Impact Skill attacks, and can also use Blast Icons to perform Blast Attacks, allowing them to escape from combos.[4] The home version features an original story campaign, Dream Duel Story, and online multiplayer, and supports cross-save functionality between the PS3 and Vita versions. Samples from the represented light novel series are also included as unlockable content.[5]

Character roster

The roster is composed of characters from several light novel series under the Dengeki Bunko imprint, among playable characters and assist characters that can be called while in the middle of a round to help the playable character in various ways. All characters are voiced by their respective actors from the anime adaptations, with a few exceptions. A non-playable character known as Denshin (電神) (voiced by M·A·O), based on the Dreamcast character from Sega Hard Girls, summons the playable characters for their aid to combat a malevolent entity (voiced by Ken Narita) from the organization Zetsumu who takes the form of the captured playable characters, followed by a form of Akira Yuki from Sega's Virtua Fighter series, with Pai Chan as his assist, as boss characters; both Akira and Pai later became playable characters in the console ports and post-Version 1.20 arcade versions.[6][7] Eight additional characters (four playable and four assists) were added to the roster by mid-2014.[8][9][10] The second Sega guests, Selvaria Bles and Alicia Melchiott of Valkyria Chronicles, first appeared in the console ports and later added to the arcade version 1.30, along with other assist characters from other Dengeki Bunko's published series.[11][12][13] The games' various stages are based on other Sega titles, such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Border Break and Phantasy Star Online 2.[14]
