Battle Fantasia is an arcade-style fighting game similar to Guilty Gear with some RPG elements. The Xbox 360 console version contains various features such as a training mode, versus mode (either offline or online), and story mode.
The story mode in Product Name is set up between matches through the look of a fantasy book and tells the story of a world where darkness and monsters ravaged the lands, nearly destroying it. For ages, mankind tried to fight back the evil, but was unsuccessful, and just before all seemed to be lost, four heroes stepped forward and drove the darkness back, bring peace and tranquillity back to the world.
The player takes control of one of twelve characters, each with their own back story that links with the devastating war and the reappearance of a powerful threat. Each has their own skill and weapons to use, however unlike traditional fighting games with life bars, the life bars are still present, but they are determined through hit points.
The game is shown through 2-D cel-shaded graphics on 3-D environments while the story is told through hand-drawn illustrations by Emiko Iwasaki, who also drew the main characters in the game. The game was released on March 6, 2009.
