Fantasy Strike is a fighting game developed by an independent studio Sirlin Games. It isn’t the first project of this company – it previously developed titles like Puzzle Strike and Yomi. The latter was an unorthodox hybrid of a card game and a fighting game.
The game was developed for casual and veteran fighting game players and it is available on platforms like PS4, PC, and Switch. The general principles are similar to the ones present in other fighting games. The players are taken to a small arena, where they must defeat their opponent within the time limit. The enemy is controlled by the artificial intelligence or by another player. The developers created a few different warriors with unique powers. For example, the players can use an artist, an archer, a man accompanied by a ghost, or a hero who can transform into a dragon.
Fantasy Strike is a 2,5D game. This means that all arenas and characters are three-dimensional, but the battles are fought in two dimensions. The warriors can move to the left and to the right, and they can jump or crouch. The number of attacks is quite limited and the combos are rather easy to perform. However, the game was developed with tournaments in mind, so although it is easy to learn the basics, mastering the game requires time and skills.
It is worth mentioning that Fantasy Strike was originally designed for PC and because of that, it can be comfortably played with a keyboard. The game also supports other controllers, including classic gamepads and the guitar from the Guitar Hero series.
Fantasy Strike features a few classic gameplay modes. Among them, there is a quick duel, local and online multiplayer, practice mode, and Arcade mode. During the Internet play, the game uses GGPO technology that is popular among the fighting games developers – it was also used in games like Skullgirls and Killer Instinct. It limits lags during the matches.
Fantasy Strike features graphics of satisfying quality. The game uses a cartoon-like style, the warriors are animated quite nice, and some attacks are accompanied by various special effects.

Injustice 2, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 and Tekken 7 made 2017 one of the best years for brawler games since a long, long time. So far, it seems that 2018 will have nothing to be ashamed of either.

Game Ratings for Fantasy Strike Video Game.
MMOGames: 7.5 / 10
While some folks will still prefer to tread AAA territory when it comes to their fighting games, Sirlin and his team have done a pretty good job with their debut effort. Fantasy Strike has a decent offering of characters, a gameplay system that offers value for those that get into it, adaptable controls for newcomers and pros alike, fun local multiplayer options, a decent smattering of single player content, and a nostalgic presentation to back it all up. It's good stuff, even if can't quite live up to Fantasylevel. That's okay, sometimes you need something good to settle down and have fun with.
PC Invasion: 4 / 5 by Andrew Farrell
Fantasy Strike is an excellent fighting game with rewarding gameplay. I can only hope the amount of players increases.
GameSpace: 8.5 / 10 by Chris Bowman
Overall, Fantasy Strike is not what I originally thought it would be. With the vibrant world and brightly colored characters, you will have a good time fighting against computer enemies or real people. For the price of $29.99 USD, there is plenty for you to do. It is a full game, just like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter, but for half the price. If you want a change in pace from those other guys, give this one a try.
