The once Sony-exclusive Nitro+ fighting game is now on Steam, complete with a special two-way Skullgirls: 2nd Encore discount.
After an exclusive run on the PS3 and PS4 between Japan, North America and Europe (PS3 version limited to Japan), Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel is finally available for PC. Featuring characters from across the Nitro+ brand of games, visual novels and anime, Infinite Duel is an assist-based Fighter akin to another recent Sony-to-PC “Anime Fighter”, Koihime Enbu; not to be confused with tag-team 2v2 fighting games, Nitroplus Blasterz requires players to choose a character to act as the primary fighter, and a secondary for special attacks and cooldown-based abilities. The PC release includes online multiplayer and leaderboards, and additional cross-over DLC characters Aino Heart (Arcana Heart series) and Homura (Senran Kagura franchise).
