Bored ofStreet Fighter IVand too cheap to buyBlazBlue: Calamity Trigger? You may want to tryVanguard Princess, a freeware, 2D fighter with an all-girl cast that was quietly released last week. The credits point to someone named Tomoaki Sugeno who, according tohis MobyGames profile, has worked on someKing of Fighterstitles as well asResident Evil 3.
The 2D sprites are as crisp as any I’ve ever seen andVanguard Princessseems to have already established itself as a surprisingly deep, albeit chaotic, fighter. I haven’t played it yet (mostly because it kind of seems like a pain in the ass to install properly), but there are already tons of gameplay videos online, even though it’s been out for less than a week. As far as I’ve been able to gather, each character controls differently and there are tons of loli assist characters to help you out.
If you read moonspeak, you can check outSugeno’s official blog, and you can download the gamehere(click the blue button). To get it running, followthese instructions. And, to get you started off on the right foot, check out a move list,here.
