This recreation is a fan-made title about Hololive Vtubers, one thing I do know completely nothing about. That mentioned, not figuring out didn’t harm my means to benefit from the recreation, as I are likely to take pleasure in ridiculous combating video games. This one positively has that really feel to it. Whereas I really feel somebody who is aware of these characters in all probability has a greater thought on why they need to admire seeing a personality hop right into a procuring cart for an assault, that doesn’t make it any much less humorous for me. Lots of the characters have these wacky assaults and assists that create all types of combo alternatives and conditions, making for some foolish, but additionally spectacular, battles.
