General: Sengoku Basara X (cross) is a 2D samurai fighting game published by Capcom, but developed by Arc System Works, the team behind the Guilty Gear X series.

Closing Comment: Sengoku Basara X looks and seems to play a lot like the Guilty Gear X series... Along with an awesomely impressive anime-esk intro, the gameplay and animation runs very smooth from the looks of it. I haven't played it yet, but it's definitely on my list of 2D fighting games I'm looking forward to! ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
