GAME SYSTEM
This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages.
Bring the fast-paced action of head-to-head arcade fighting games to your tabletop with the Exceed Fighting System, which features fast-paced, intuitive mechanisms and gameplay that's accessible to gamers and non-gamers of all skill levels. Choose your fighter from an ever-growing roster of diverse characters, each with their own deck of special moves and supers. Play your cards to unleash fireballs, dragon punches, and deadly combos on your opponents!
Titles in the Exceed Fighting System come in one of two forms: standalone games that contain decks that allow two players to compete against one another, and individual decks. The standalone games are being released in "seasons", with each season containing sixteen fighters from various franchises or worlds that are packaged into four-character boxes. Any deck can be played against any other deck, allowing you to compete across seasons and across worlds.
Season 1 features the art and characters of Jasco Games' Red Horizon, which was first featured in the UFS Collectible Card Game.
Season 2 features the monstrous heroes and villains of Seventh Cross, an upcoming game world from Level 99 Games.
Season 3 features iconic, fan-favorite, well-known characters from Capcom's Street Fighter.
Season 4 features the heroes and villains of Shovel Knight.
Season 5 features fighters from BlazBlue published by Arc System Works.
Season 6 features 19 characters from Under Night In-Birth also published by Arc System Works.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is my number one game of all time for competitive play. But when you play with my unofficial solo mode, yes, it's unofficial. It's still really good. Try it out. When you play with my unofficial solo mode, it drops down to number nine because I I freely admit that the game is best competitively.
- This is an awesome game from Renegade Solo series. A bag builder where you're drawing out tokens and trying to fight off enemies. Again, tons of variety with the ships. Tons of variety with the bosses. Uh so many ways to build your bag. So much excitement. I love that you defeat enemies to get new stuff in your bag. So you're not like wasting time spending money. You're just going to town.
- But the core like card system is still great, but they made it even better. The exploration is second to none. Finding out where you are in the world and mastering your environment.
- this game just punched me in the face until I said, "Okay, it's unstoppable."
- But yeah, if you're talking variety, if you're talking great card combos and awesome action play and asymmetry and just crazy goodness, you can't really go wrong with Spirit Island, right?
- But anyway, Settles and Multiverse. Love the hero variety. Love the card play. Love the boss variety. You know, is the game frustrating sometimes? Yeah, but way less than the original edition. And you just can't beat the fun.
- I love the hero variety. I love the boss variety. I like it competitive play. I like it solo. Oh, I like it co-op. I like it every way I could get it.
- Characters, variety, cool tactical play, amazing story, amazing exploration, like really take every other game on this list and take the cool things about it.
- I own way too much stuff for it. I'm not saying I like recommend it to everybody. I've spent even before they started sending me review copies of stuff, I spent like over $1,000 on this game, but I'm in. I spent it and now it's here and I can play it and it's great.
