OVERVIEW:
Battle Heat is a game with simple mechanics which relies mainly on the appeal of the animated scenes. Commands are input and pre-recorded sequences showing the characters performing their moves/etc. are played as a result; these attacks can be dodged, blocked, or countered. There are solutions to most actions, I.E. block breakers, counter-counters (which lead to long strings of countering) etc. The CPU is extremely difficult to defeat. A variety of characters are selectable, each with their own theme songs and actions; there are also two unplayable (by default, anyway) boss characters. The first player controller defaults to the hero's side while the second player's controller defaults to the villain's side, although the first player gets to pick who's who!
CONTROLS: There are a number of universal functions that apply to all characters.
The controller's buttons perform the following functions:
I = taunt
II = guard, parry, dodge, duck, etc. direction presses are also necessary depending on the enemy's actions.
III = light attack
IV= heavy attack
V = jump
VI = Special
Double tapping up or down will make you close in on or build space between you and your opponent, respectively.
