Blueblood Arena is a one-on-one fighting game from developer Team Blueblood that has been in development for many years. The game was seemingly lost following a few teaser videos a few years ago, but the game is finally out now on Steam. According to the developers, Blueblood Arena has been “designed to be easy for beginners to the genre, while being plenty of fun and complex for veterans”.
The game uses rollback code for online bouts and has a local two-player mode for those couch sessions. Players can pick from a variety of fun characters, with each one being distinct from the other. Blueblood Arena is designed to have the most free-form combo structure possible, with very few restrictions on what is possible. It also has a simple and easy-to-understand control scheme involving one button for one attack.
The game also has an interesting art style for a traditional fighting game, with digitally hand-drawn assets, charmingly simple 3D backgrounds, and a custom-made soundtrack. It certainly stands out from the crowd in the genre. Currently, Blueblood Arena also has a demo available for those who wish to try before they buy, which can be used to play against a friend online who already owns the game.
