What GUILTY GEAR XX ACCENT CORE PLUS R is
This is a 2D fighting game and the final entry in the GUILTY GEAR XX series, built on the previous installment "GUILTY GEAR XX ΛCORE CORE". The full cast of 25 characters is here, including the returning fan favorites Kliff Undersn and Justice, all fine-tuned in the Plus R version for more competitive play. The whole roster had its core concepts revised and re-evaluated based on player feedback, with balance work aimed at bringing out the most variation between characters. Bonus soundtracks are included.
How a group plays it together
Online play comes in two network modes. Ranked Match records wins and losses and lets you raise your rank with each win. Player Match is the relaxed option for playing with friends, and nothing is recorded there, so a bad run does not follow you around. Remote Play Together is supported as well. Outside of matches, the game includes Survival Mode, M.O.M. Mode, Training Mode, Mission Mode, and a Gallery Mode with over 100 special illustrations from various artists.
Combat systems to learn first
Three mechanics define the flow of a fight. Gatling combos let you chain attacks simply by pressing attack buttons in sequence. The overhead "Dust" attack launches opponents into mid-air for follow-ups. Roman Cancel cancels your character's current motion so you can extend combos further. Expect a steep learning curve: the game carries a "Difficult" tag, and the Plus R tuning was made with competitive play in mind. Spend time in Training Mode before jumping into Ranked Match, and use Mission Mode to work through specific situations at your own pace.
