Only played two incomplete runs so far, but am I crazy to think that the game is nearly identical to the first game? It’s the same game!
It’s the Street Fighter 2 to Street Fighter 1.
There are about a half dozen new mechanics woven into the game.
They learned a little from Balatro, added some questlines like FTL, and added a whole multiplayer component.
Then I look forward to playing more… Street Fighter 1 and 2 are pretty much completely different genres though, so I dunno. Seemed more like SF2 vs. SF3 or something.
It’s really hard to improve on perfection. In this case they did it.
