The premise, in the publisher's words
Be an archer with fiery arrows, a colorful painter, a martial arts master who can transform into a dragon, and more! Fantasy meets martial arts in this vibrant world. The streamlined controls get you to the fun decision-making part of fighting games as soon as possible. All moves are just a single button press, combos are easy, move lists are concise. Though Fantasy Strike is easy to get into, it's designed as a competitive tournament game with an emphasis on depth and balance. It's a mental sport that's difficult to master—just not difficult to control.

Fantasy Strike launched on 14 September 2017, within three weeks of Destiny 2, Cuphead, Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Divinity: Original Sin II. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Destiny 2, Cuphead, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Divinity: Original Sin II.
