Author’s take: Blazblue Centralfiction is probably my favorite entry in the series outside of the visual novel entries. The game just has an easy learning curve and some deep mechanics that can be perfected over time. I’m interested to see how the online modes hold up on the switch as well as how the game plays in handheld mode.
