Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Review
Being laser-focussed on its demographic, Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax is a difficult game to assess, and a difficult game to recommend to everybody. Fighting game players who are fans of Dengeki Bunko's work will surely enjoy the title and its bonus content – especially with like-minded friends on hand. However, once these extras have been exhausted and it comes down to the gameplay, a single fact remains: there are many better fighters on the PS3.

Fighting Climax likely won't cause any sort of shake-up to occur within the FGC or competitve play in general, but it doesn't really need to. It's a good fighting game with a set of somewhat unique mechanics at a budget price.
