PSX 2017 Spotlight: Fantasy Strike

By: MithrandielMy time at the Playstation Experience was an awesome whirlwind of upcoming Sony hype and a spotlight on some really exciting indie games coming out. One such title was Fantasy Strike, a unique fighting game designed by former pro EVO player and Street Fighter designer Kevin Sirlin.Looking to simplify a typically complex genre, Fantasy Strike is a unique title in that there are no complex joystick movements. No quarter circle or dragon punch inputs, simply forward or back, an handful of special moves and a jump function.Seeing the game in action, I was intrigued and wanted to learn more. Mr. Sirlin was kind enough to talk to me about the game, its development, and his inspiration for creating it. Take a listen![arve url="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/368329877&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" /]Interested in learning more about the game?
