Move Over BlazBlue, Vanguard Princess is Here!

For those of you who like a little moe in your fighting games.

 
Not at Anime Expo, and are looking for something to do this boring summer Thursday? Canned Dogs found this awesome 2D fighting game called Vanguard Princess. This game was created by Sugeno Tomoaki, who supposedly is an ex-Capcom employee, which isn’t too far-fetched once you play the game. Yes, the best part about this game—besides the cute moe girls—is that it’s freeware! Meaning you can download it now, and play it now for free.

It’s hard to believe that a game of this quality was released for free this day of age. The game is of course not as beautiful and BlazeBlue, but it is moe in it own right. Let me tell you now that I have a thing for girls who can summon a katana out of thin air; so Saki is my girl. Who's yours?

if you guys are having problems running the game, change the name of the .kgt file, the exe one, and the folder, but they must all be the same name. Also run the game in applocale

Ooh nice, I'll bookmark this for after work. Thanks!

Hmmm...  I might have to check it our since it's free.

I check it out, if I can stop playing blazblue. That be somehow hard to do.

Thanks.  I think I try this game out!

No! No! BlazBlue musn't move over!

This game does seem pretty well made considering it's free, but the whole "pretty-moe-girl" fighter thing doesn't quite work for me. I still think Super Cosplay Wars Ultimate is the best free doujijn fighter out there. (it's a fighter, not an SRW style game)

@GodLen: Even after doing that, it's still not working for me, even in AppLocale.

I'm loving it and it works well on Vista 32 bit for me though I did change my language to Japanese. I wish I understood the combos and assist characters better though.

I never got that thing to work, sad :(

I'll give it a try when I get some free timeXD

if you can't get it to work don't worry destructoid got our back. Just read and fallow the instruction and you can start to kick some moe ass.
