Built on the Guilty Gear XX game engine, Accent Core may be considered the latest and greatest tweak/upgrade of the original game. The cast of 23 default characters all have new moves as well as specials and many of them control differently. The engine also features EX moves aka Force Breaks, Throw Breaks, and Parrying which radically modify the way the game played by seasoned GGXX fans. Arc System also throws in new stages, new character and announcer voices, and new character artwork.

Casual gamers may look at the past few GGXX updates as minor in scope but the system updates made in Accent Core are significant and greatly enhance the gameplay experience for the hardcore fan.

Bonus Schwagula
Early preorders will include a bonus solar-powered Guilty Gear XX AC strap. On the front side is the Guilty Gear XX logo and the flipside features a solar-powered LED which shows an image of Sol-Badguy and Ky Kiske in a heated dance. The LED starts blinking once the solar panels on the side of the strap are exposed to light. Please note that we did not receive enough straps to include one with every preorder shipping today. New orders placed today will also not include the strap.
