New Steam Store Releases: Battle Fantasia (GTFO F1 2015)

This week, Battle Fantasia, a 2007 Arc System Works (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue) Arcade game has arrived on Steam. Battle Fantasia is yet another competent fighter from the renowned Japanese developer. What sets this one apart is the unique and interesting fantasy setting. If you're a fan of fantasy action or well-crafted fighting games, you really can't go wrong with it.Also released this week was the new Codemasters Formula 1 game, F1 2015. You won't find it listed below, however, because similar to the recent Batman: Arkham Knight release, this game is also broken beyond all reasonable playability. In fact, the only real difference between Arkham Knight and F1 2015 is that Warner Bros was kind enough to pull their game shortly after release, while F1 2015 still remains available for purchase. This, despite the fact that it currently has received over 70% negative user reviews! Bang up job, Codemasters! That's quite an achievement. I hope you are proud of yourselves.

Also, also released this week, the popular sequel to a PlayStation-only soccer game with cars, a very cool-looking and original Japanese fighting game that was supposedly inspired by Street Fighter III, and a pair of classic, futuristic real-time tactics games. Bring a sword to an arcade fight, then jump past the break to see more of this week's new releases.
