What’d you think?: This is a 2D fighting game based on Inuyasha. The story mode involves a few fights and minigames (where you fight a rock or some bees or some fire on a time limit) that differs slightly based on which character you’ve chosen. There’s also a regular 1v1 and 2v2 (with tags in and out) mode. In this respect, it’s pretty decent, but the actual fighting seems rather shallow compared to most of its contemporaries. I’m not very adept at fighting games so I can’t speak to “frame cancels” or sophisticated things like that, but based on the move lists available, there aren’t very many Fun Combos. I was able to cheese the AI by spamming projectile attacks on the characters who have them.
