It Came From Arc System Works: Guilty Gear

Guilty Gear is one of the coolest 2D fighting games to ever hit the PlayStation console back in 1998. The game had an awesome rock n roll theme with a soundtrack that hyped up the gameplay.

One of the characters in the game is named Axl Low. His appearance was based heavily on the lead singer of the band Guns N Roses, Axl Rose. There are a lot of band references throughout the game and you can tell that it was heavily influenced by pop culture and music.

“Heaven or Hell! Lets Rock!” yells the announcer upon starting a match.

The game is based on combos and how well you can time and pull them off. It’s a game where you can’t really button mash because pressing the wrong button would leave you wide open for someone to destroy you. It’s a deep game that takes practice to learn all of its awkward moveset commands. Once you get the character's movesets down, the game gets you hooked.
