If you haven't ever played Guilty Gear X before then you're in for a treat! Guilty Gear was the game which brought 2D fighting games into hi-definition, with up to 4x the pixel count of other fighters of the time like Street Fighter 3. Even 18 years on, the game still looks impressive with bold colours, inventive characters and amazing 2D animation!
But Guilty Gear X's beauty is not just skin deep. The game offers plenty of depth, and addictive combos, while being more accessible to get into for newcomers than other fighting games. With a 4-button layout (Punch, Kick, Slash and Heavy Slash), each character has a vast array of moves, which can be easily linked into numerous combos. I literally had my first game of GGX just prior to the machine being wheeled out in the arcade, and I'm hooked!
