Melty Blood/Melty Blood ReAct

Melty Blood is the awesome sequel to the extremely popular Tsukihime (Moon Princess) by TYPE MOON. Unlike Tsukihime, which was a digital novel with hentai scenes and a kickass story line, Melty Blood is a 2D PC fighting game with an awesome engine and a kickass storyline (no hentai, sorry pervs). Looking at pics cannot explain how great this game looks in action. Fluid animations, debatably the best voice overs for any fighting game, and an incredibly catchy soundtrack create one of the most memorable gaming experiences out there.

In Japan, Tsukihime has spawned a TV anime series, as well as other games, including the Tsukihime PLUS-DISC, Kagetsu Tohya, the add-on Melty Blood ReACT, the arcade adaption Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, the PS2 version of Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, and the upcoming Melty Blood Act Cadenza Ver. B for Windows!

We released the full patch for Melty Blood on 28 April 2007 and the full ReAct patch on 18 July 2007.
