Arcana Heart + Preorder Bonus Disc - In Stock

Yuki Enterprises (Examu) released Arcana Heart in Japanese arcades towards the very end of 2006 and found a ready and willing audience amongst the gaming cognoscenti. Firstly, it's a capable fighting game with a bevy of moves, combos, aerial maneuvering, and move cancels out the wazoo. Secondly, the cast of characters is entirely female. Make that attractive females who can choose their elemental powers by way of eleven tarot cards which depict a beast such as Bhanri or a deity-like lassie like Partinias.

The main character is a redhead named Heart Aino and she's joined by 11 other fighters such as the blue-haired Saki Tsuzura, Kamui Tokinomiya, Maori Kasuga, Mei-Fang, Konoha, and more. When fighting, the bouts generally take place on the ground but aerial attacks can send the two girls way up into the air as the playfield lofts higher to take in the action.

The PS2 version of Arcana Heart includes the characters from the original arcade version of the game along with the "Arcana Heart Full" upgraded characters whom are more balanced against each other. It's all about equality these days. Players may use characters from the original version of AH to fight characters from the upgraded version. «Game-Notes»
