A new standard in accessible action gaming
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is a premium action game for PC by developer Cygames Inc. It is the latest installment in the Granblue Fantasy Versus series that focuses on accessibility features that allow newcomers to enjoy its distinct fighting experience without all the complicated controls and gameplay systems.
Compared to the first Granblue Fantasy Versus, the new Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising features the same anime-inspired art style and themes for its fights. You can compete with other players online in various obstacle courses and survival games through an all-new party mode.
Lower barrier to entry
The first Granblue Fantasy Versus game was a rather distinct and memorable release that melded meticulous RPG mechanics with competitive fighting gameplay, to great success. It's also one of the recent games that attempted to lower the barrier to entry for newcomers by offering various accessibility features to help balance its somewhat high learning curve. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising aims to build upon what its predecessor started.
This sequel retains much of what made the first game unique and fun. From the story-driven campaign to highly customizable characters and the explorable island lobby for all players, there's plenty to like about it. When it comes to character customization, this game offers many options to tailor your favorite Granblue characters to your liking—from weapon skins to character colors, lobby avatars, and more.
One of the main features this game can offer is doubling down on accessibility features for newcomers. You can now assign special moves to simple one-button commands, so you can focus on the battle. In addition, the Digital Figure Studio also lets you create dioramas from a collection of 3D models based on characters from the Granblue Fantasy Versus series. However, as with any game with significant online components, there could be issues with server stability and matchmaking, which could affect the overall online experience.
Battle pass
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising has rolled out a new free Battle Pass Round 4, boasting enticing rewards such as a striking Shark lobby avatar, trophies, badges, stickers, draw tickets, battle cards, and an array of other in-game treats. Meanwhile, players opting for the premium Battle Pass Round 4 can get the festive Indigo Witch costume for Beatrix, along with a bundle of character colors, weapon skins, stickers, and numerous additional goodies.
Easiest entry into the series
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising enhances accessibility for newcomers while retaining its distinct fighting experience. With simplified controls and diverse accessibility features, it welcomes players into its anime-inspired world. The game boasts a range of customization options, including character adornments and lobby avatars. It also introduces new party modes for online play. However, potential online issues may hinder the overall enjoyment of some players.
