Revenger Strike

Revenger Strike (リベンジャーストライク) is a 2D fighting game developed by Burst Arts and published by Namco. It is the successor to Grand Star Crashers, released in 1997 for the Arcades and then the PlayStation. The game avoids the tournament storyline of its predecessors, as various fighters instead battle against the two tyrannical armies Magamia and Aquorie before the world ends in 8 hours.
==Gameplay==
Revenger Strike retains the same gameplay from Grand Star Crashers. A unique addition in the game is the Gem System; Attack, Speed, Defense, Power, Life and Burst. By using these gems in battle, fighters receive enhanced effects for a short amount of time, such as increased Power strength or defense, health recovery or additional attacks. A maximum of 2 gems can be set for each player. Revenger Strike even introduced the "Run" function, accompanied by a "Run" meter, allowing the character to run.
==Story==
In an all new city known as Neoh Central, two organizations are at war with each other: the land-favoring Magamia and the sea-favoring Aquorie. Rumors say that should these two organizations continue their deadly feud, it will foresee the destruction of the world. With only eight hours remaining until the world's tragic fate, various strong-willed fighters find themselves in a race against time to prevent this rumor from coming true, especially the rivals Haruka Mikawa and Brandon Yuki.
