Boys will be all’s fair in Boys Love and War

Nitroplus Chiral Blasters Tag Duel (Stylised as: Nitro+CHiRAL BlasterS TAG DuEL), is a 2D-style fighting game featuring the cast of the Nitroplus Chiral visual novels developed by Arc System Works and Nitroplus Chiral, directed and written by Clarissa Jamieson. The game was released for arcades on January 4, 2022 and the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S and PC worldwide on .

Premise[]

A calamity of unknown source called the "Rapid Eye" is attacking from the devastated far future it's responsible for. Many men are trapped within the pocket dimensions it creates, and are ordered to fight each other if they want to find the truth. All participants are given a crystal known as a 'Wishstone' serving as their entry pass and it also empowers them to become strong enough for the battles ahead.

Gameplay[]

The gameplay is similar to BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, although some fighters will have an ‘Atrocity Phase’ which is somewhat based on Budokai 3’s Hyper Mode. Atrocity has a gauge that fills when the fighter performs attacks based off his flaws/crimes, known as Atrocity Skills. If it becomes full, he (with the player’s input) goes into an ‘evil’ state with the ability to perform faster and stronger versions of any Atrocity-filling attacks, and eventually perform a different Install Kill/Astral Finish with some based off bad endings. But if the Atrocity gauge runs out whilst in this mode, he suffers a massive debuff in his stats and can’t perform Atrocity Skills or more complicated attacks.

Trivia[]

Tropes Page

  • Much like other games directed by Cadence Jamieson, none of the DLC are paid.
  • "Granny Tae's Guidance Corner" is based off BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend's "Help Me, Professor Kokonoe" skits.
  • This is the first Nitroplus Chiral game to have an English dub and dual audio.
  • Defeated fighters suffer clothing damage upon being KOed, to differ from an usual knockdown. The sole exception is Edward, who just relaxes like his older sisters.
