This is a 3D Aerial Platform Fighting Game consisting of many characters from different anime created by Fly-System. It introduces the fighting in a similar manner to modern Gundam video games such as the Gundam Battle Assault series, except the fact that the characters come from the anime Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Card Captor Sakura, Slayers, Magic Circle Guru Guru, the eroge Visual Novel Magical Girl Kirara and Sarara, and the original characters, Lulu Gelad and Nowel Diastasis created for the game. It has a total of 16 characters available for gameplay. The new characters released in the Lyrical Pack (Update to 1.50 from 1.05): Vita, Yagami Hayate, Takamachi Nanoha StS, Lord of Nightmares, and Kita Kita Oyaji (Lord of Nightmares and Kita Kita Oyaji available after Ver 1.53+) are not available in story mode, however they are available in Survival. The game offers not only Story Mode, Survival, and the Network Play up to 4 people, it also has Mission Mode, where specific requirements are needed in order to succeed in the mission, given the grade S, A, B, and C of how well you did. Anything lower than a C is a failure of the mission. This game began to sell in Japan-only at Comiket 74. Its expansion, Lyrical Pack, was released in Comiket 75. A stand-alone version of the base game and previous expansions was released as Magical Battle Arena: Complete Form and was published by Area-Zero. (Update to 1.70 from 1.50): Fate T. Harlaown StS from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS and Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu from Magic Knight Rayearth have been added, like previous additions, however, they are not playable in story mode, but are usable in other modes. Hikaru, Umi and Fuu play as one character and the player can swap between them using special moves. Every millennia, in order to maintain the cosmic balance of magic amongst the multiverse a tournament is held in order to find the greatest, most powerful mage. The participants in this tournament are all kidnapped from their world of origin and transported to a separate dimension. All are told they must fight and win in order to return home. Along the way one competitor the character comes across is their friend (and/or companion). They first must fight, and when the character succeeds in defeating them, they join forces. Once the character and their companion have faced and defeated all the other competitors, they face the apparent host of this tournament, and are told the truth of the fighting. Choose a character, and try and defeat everyone else. To this end, each and every one has basic attacks (both ranged and melee), a defense power, and a sprint. In addition to each of these basic skills each character has their own special attacks, the effects of which differ greatly between characters. The battlefield where this takes place is in the airspace above a given map. Some places are naught but open area, whereas others may provide cover and obstructions, usually in the form of tall buildings or geological formations. | ||
