Fantasy Strike

Fantasy Strike is designed to reduce unnecessary complexity while maintaining the depth of traditional fighting games by removing redundant moves and motion inputs. This allows players to engage in the strategy without worrying about missed moves or dropped combos. It can played with just a stick and 3 buttons on any controller, but can optionally have dedicated buttons for every action including jump, throw, attacks, and special and super moves. Each player picks a character to play, which are then placed in an arena.

By performing various attacks unique to the character, each player tries to bring down their opponents health pool down to zero to win a round. Players can block to defend against attacks and break through blocks by using throws. A unique feature to Fantasy Strike is the "Yomi Counter", which can be performed when not attacking by pressing no buttons at all. If the character is hit by an opponent's throw when yomi countering, they won't get hit and instead perform a counter throw and gain a full super meter, turning the tables.

The game is set in the world of the same name, "Fantasy Strike", featured in other games made by Sirlin Games. In the story, Rook hosts the Fantasy Strike tournament as an Olympic style event to rally the powerful fighters to talk about the injustices of their respective lands.

Fantasy Strike received "generally favorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 68% of critics.

Many reviewers praised the game's accessibility by virtue of the relative ease of execution, while retaining the depth that makes fighting games difficult to master and fun. Farrell from PC Invasion stated that "the game is purely skill-based, as every good fighter game is." There was some concern regarding its simplistic nature and limited movesets. With ten characters, some noted that Fantasy Strike's roster was relatively small.
