Press Quotes
“What is really nice about BlazBlue is that each character has a very distinct combat style.” 9.0/10 – Digitally Downloaded “Central Fiction adds enough characters, mechanics and fine tunes its already nearly flawless gameplay into something that feels as amazing to play as it looks.” 9.0/10 – ZTGD “If BlazBlue: Central Fiction is the end (and I don't think it will be), it's a fitting one.” 8.5/10 – Destructoid
