Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Another game to pop up on my socials which I thought weird enough to warrant a long play is this versus fighting game from Video System.
The developers opted to use a combat system with just two buttons. Executing special moves is as simple as holding down both buttons, waiting for your character to power up, then pushing the joystick in one of the eight different directions and let go of the buttons. The direction of the stick on release dictates which type of move is executed, but this is all rather moot when they're all equally crap. In fact, the combat in this game is just terrible, period.
Ta*o Taido is a long way from Street Fighter or Fatal Fury in its production values. Some of the character art is reasonable, but is then let down by poor animation, most of which seems to involve stilted pirouettes and cartwheel-esque flailing. There's not much to recommend this, and there are plenty of better games to play.
