Is Vanguard Princess worth it?

Vanguard Princess is worth it if…

  • you want a small, sharp 2D fighter to play with a friend on one screen
  • you like retro sprite art and anime-style characters with real personality
  • you enjoy learning a roster where every fighter plays differently
  • you are after quick, competitive rounds rather than a long single-player campaign

A fighting game built for the couch

Versus Mode is where this game lives. Two players, one screen, head-to-head: pick your girl, pick her partner, and trade rounds until someone demands a rematch. Because every fighter has her own style, the matchup matters. Bring a grappler against a zoner and the whole round changes shape. It is the kind of game you drop into for five minutes and leave an hour later, still arguing about that last special move. No lobbies, no queues: just a friend, a controller, and a grudge.

Ten fighters, ten styles

The roster is ten girls, and none of them fight the same way. Each has her own moves, her own rhythm, and her own reason for being on the battlefield, from personal dreams to old scores. On top of that, you pair your fighter with a partner who can jump in and turn the tide, so a team is two decisions, not one. Learning a character means learning when to call the partner in, and that is where the depth hides. Ten girls, ten styles, a hundred possible teams.

A story with a grudge at its center

The setup is pure old-school anime: a government experiment on a young girl triggers a cosmic shock wave that grants mystical powers to girls around the world. Years later she returns, vowing to destroy mankind. A group of powered girls marches out to stop her, each with her own motive riding along. Story Mode walks you through these journeys fight by fight, and each character brings her own take on the conflict. It is brisk, it is dramatic, and it gets you from battle to battle without dragging.
