Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition is a hidden gem of a fighting game, developed by Melty Blood/UNI devs French Bread and Ecole Software, and published by Sega. It plays as a 2D sprite-based fighter with 3D backgrounds and features 20 fighters, most of which are from Dengeki Bunko's various light novels, and two Sega guests. There are also over 30 assist characters to choose from with unique abilities. Ignition is the updated version of the game with more characters, released exclusively on PS3, PS4, Vita, and arcades in Japan.
While the original DBFC was released in the West on PS3, Ignition never received a localization, nor is it (or the original DBFC) easily available for purchase outside of Japan. Despite its inaccessibility, DBFCI still has a competitive scene, even getting a dedicated tournament at CEO 2025 this June.
DBFCI, like all fighting games, is worth preserving. If not for its fun gameplay and competitive scene, it should be made available again for the characters, light novels and anime featured in the roster. The game features stories that are still actively ongoing today, such as Sword Art Online, Devil is a Part-Timer, and Virtua Fighter, while also featuring some fan-favorite, dormant classics like Toradora. DBFCI still has a lot of appeal in 2025, as forums for some of these anime featured have member counts in the hundreds of thousands.
Releasing (and possibly even localizing) DBFCI in the west after over a decade would not only be a huge win for the fighting game community, but for anime fans as well.
Apologies for the wall of text, it looks like paragraphs aren't supported here lol.
This is one of those goated fighting games that never got the true shot it deserved. The gameplay is simple to pick up but has a surprising amount of depth, and the characters are all fun to play. I'm sure if more people knew about this one they'd love it.
The original version of this game came out in the west, translated and everything it was great. And then almost immediately afterwards, Ignition came out in Japan. We NEVER got a western release of this game, and this is the perfect opportunity to get one. Or to at least a JP version available in the west. The game deserves a second chance at life and is a solid fighting game. Everyone is getting mad at one clip of Ro-Kyo-Bu, why not show everyone that the girls can actually do. They turn their opponents into basketballs and literally dunk them! Let me see Kirito and Tatsuya Shiba fight! Let me see Kirino Kousaka and Leafa team up and fight Taiga Aisaka or Shana. I want to see Selvaria and Kuroyukihime fight!
Dengeki really deserves a pc port with good netcode, spectates and lobbies. It really is an almost perfect fighting game with great balance, limitless potential and exploration of synergies. Even after several hundreds of hours of playing, I discover some new tech and combinations! The game is very deep, while also being easy to grasp, and the strict resource management really makes you use your brain!

Bloody Roar 4During the XGC (X-Genome Code) Incident one year ago, riots raged over the earth by beasts that did not show the XCG, and all over the country small earthquakes shook the land. The cause was unknown, but as the Crest Incident came to an end and the rioting and earthquakes subsided, people began to claim that all was due to the influence of the Stone Seal. Although the Stone Seal has been locked away, the rioting and earthquakes have returned. This time, the incidents are on a larger scale than those of a year ago. What could be behind it all?
Bloody Roar 4 is the last title in the series, and is once again a full-3D fighting game featuring the series' trademark transformation abilities. Unlike previous titles in the series, the beast gauge now acts as its own health bar; if a character's health gauge is depleted, they will automatically transform. The game features 18 playable fighters and a variety of game modes, including standard arcade, versus, time-attack, training, and survival modes. Of special mention is the career mode, in which fighting battles will earn so-called "DNA points," which can be spent on abilities and equipment to customize a character for use in other modes.Fantasy

True Crime: Streets of LATrue Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.Open world Action Science fiction Stealth Sandbox
