Fantasy Strike launches for Switch on July 25, new trailer

Fantasy Strike, the fighting game from Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix lead designer David Sirlin, has finally been given a release date. The title will launch on July 25 via the eShop, Sirlin Games has announced.

We have the following overview and trailer for Fantasy Strike:

The secret to how Fantasy Strike works as both a deep tournament game for hardcore genre fans as well as an introduction to the genre for newcomers is that both ends of the spectrum benefit from the game’s extreme emphasis on strategy over difficult controls. Both types of players can enjoy its innovations in making fighting games more readable and understandable than ever before, which help everyone make the most informed strategy decisions they can.

These innovations include a unique feature never seen in any fighting game before: a visual display of “frame advantage.” These graphical effects communicate which player will recover first after every hit and in how much time. Fantasy Strike also goes the extra mile to get everyone thinking strategically by including, inside the game itself, in-depth tutorial videos for all ten characters narrated by game director David Sirlin.

Fantasy Strike offers: an Arcade Mode with illustrated narrative bookends, a Boss Rush Mode that allows players draft their own deck of powerups against progressively powerful opponents, and Ranked Mode with built-on-the-fly tournaments and 3-on-3 team battles designed to offer a variety of matchups while removing the concepts of counter-picks. It also includes four Survival modes, a once-per-day Daily Challenge Mode, and, of course, local and online Versus featuring best-in-class GGPO networking technology for a fast and responsive online experience.

Pricing for Fantasy Strike is set at $29.99 USD / €32.99 / £28.99 / $46.99 AUD. English, French, Spanish, Norwegian, and Japanese language options will be supported at launch.
