"A malevolent force known only as Lina is devouring data from a vast, interdimensional network of servers overseen by sentient computers called "motes." In desperation, the motes summon heroes from a variety of parallel game worlds to face off against each other in one-on-one combat. The tournament victor has the potential to be awakened as the Blade Stranger-the savior who can vanquish Lina and protect the motes from further harm! Developed by Studio Saizensen, Blade Strangers is a hardcore old-school fighting game. The streamlined four-button control scheme makes it easy for beginners to deal out damage from day one but the intricate combos, counters and specials give tournament-caliber players plenty of opportunities for frame counting, chain construction and hit-box science. Get ready to meet Blade Strangers. Each Launch Edition Retail Copy includes the Game, Reversible Cover Art, Instruction Booklet and one of two PVC Character Straps."
