AQUAPAZZA: The Iconic 2D Fighting Game Launches on Steam Today

AQUAPAZZA Now Available on Steam

DMM GAMES, operated by EXNOA LLC, has just announced the release of the highly anticipated 2D fighting game, AQUAPAZZA, on Steam starting September 25. Originally launched in 2011, AQUAPAZZA features a collection of characters curated from various AQUAPLUS games, now available for PC players. This exciting launch also presents a special promotion: for a limited time, players can enjoy a 10% discount off the retail price of 2,980 yen (including tax).

What is AQUAPAZZA?

AQUAPAZZA is a vibrant 2D fighting game that celebrates the rich universe of AQUAPLUS, showcasing a roster of 26 characters from the beloved PS3 version. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a newcomer to fighting games, AQUAPAZZA offers something for everyone.

Language Options and Online Play

In addition to Japanese, the Steam version supports English and Traditional Chinese, making it accessible to a wider audience. Players can engage in thrilling online matches, allowing them to compete with AQUAPLUS fans from around the globe.

Game Features

Two Intuitive Control Methods

To cater to both veterans and beginners, AQUAPAZZA incorporates two control modes. The new Simple Mode allows players to unleash special moves through simple button combinations, easing the entry for those less familiar with complex input commands.

Active Emotion System

Drawing inspiration from top-tier adventure titles like ToHeart, AQUAPAZZA introduces the Active Emotion System—a dynamic feature that links character affinity levels to gameplay. This system allows players' in-game actions to affect character favorability, impacting combat outcomes. Higher favorability can boost attack strength, while lower levels can leave players vulnerable.

Partner Assist Feature

Each player can not only select their main character but also choose a partner character to assist during battles. This adds another strategic layer, as players can leverage their partner’s unique abilities to gain an advantage over their opponents.

Story Modes for Solo Players

For those who adore AQUAPLUS stories but are less experienced in fighting games, AQUAPAZZA offers two engaging story modes. Players can explore the Story Mode from the arcade version and the Other Story Mode recently added in the console version, each featuring different narratives that deepen player engagement.

Compete Online Globally

Utilizing Steam’s capabilities, AQUAPAZZA also allows for intense network battles. Players can showcase their skills to rivals worldwide or engage friends in friendly matches.
