[UPDATE: according to ANN, the above video shows the human-looking god, Ivol de Dacart (voiced by Natsui Hahae), versus winged god, Balharades (Fumikiho Tachiki); the previous video featured magical girl Smile Heart (Nao Touyama).]
A new video for Square Enix’s quirky arcade fighter is out.
It shows more of the battle variety players can expect from School of Ragnarok, this time focusing on ranged combat and the awe-inspiring special attacks that players can execute with their character’s supporting god.
Unusually for a fighting game, players create their own fighter, and then customize the character’s abilities with a predetermined supporting character, one of the “school gods”, which also predetermines the weapon the fighter will use.
The game’s first trailer is here.
School of Ragnarok will be in Japanese arcades later this year.
