"MELTY BLOOD" is a series of 2D fighting games based on TYPE-MOON's visual romance novel "Tsukihime". Since the game's original release on PC in 2002, it has also had a number of ports for arcade, PlayStation 2, and Steam.
Now, at long last, the "MELTY BLOOD" series is making its way to PlayStation4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam on September 30, 2021 in the form of "MELTY BLOOD: TYPE LUMINA".
While not as robust as some other fighting games, Melty Blood: Type Lumina is overall solid with a fun mechanics, a varied roster, and a netcode that works. It might not be outstanding, but it's got what you need in a fighting game.
Melty Blood: Type Lumina became more interesting in the long run than some of its "big brothers" for simple reasons like free content and easy-to-handle gameplay. It's an excellent title coming from a studio that once again hits the nail on the head in a genre that is beginning to lack new and fresh ideas.
A solid 2D anime fighter that offers an experience akin to the original game.
If you have a soft spot for arcade-era classics like Guilty Gear, Marvel vs. Capcom, or Street Fighter III, then Type Lumina should definitely be on your radar. But if you plan to play online, there’s one big catch you should be aware of.
Melty Blood: Type Lumina went beyond fan service game for Type-moon fans, and built a strong foundation as 2D fighting game. However, the number of character is not enough to fulfill fan's need, and its scenario is too short. Also its PC version is not good to play multi play mode.
