I'm pretty much a total novice to fighting games, but one of my BFs is super into them. We got talking about indie vs big studio games, and I did some digging for really niche ones just out of curiosity. That's how I stumbled onto Battle Craze, and now we're both super hooked on it!!
The art/animation is very quirky but don't let it put you off, it really grows on you, and the voice acting is amazing. The mechanics (according to my much more knowledgeable BF) are very advanced. It's just really fun in general.
The only thing is, the community is soooo small that everyone who isn't a beginner is some kind of super skilled veteran instead, so it can be hard to find a reasonable match. That's why I'm posting, hopefully more people will get into it ๐
