Guilty Gear Strive[a] (stylized as GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-) is a fighting video game developed and published by Arc System Works. It is the seventh mainline installment of the Guilty Gear series, and the 25th overall. The game was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Windows in June 2021, for Japanese arcades in July 2021, and for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in March 2023, with a Nintendo Switch port scheduled for a January 2025 release.

Guilty Gear Strive received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its visuals, gameplay and netcode, and has sold over 3 million copies as of July 2024.

Gameplay

[edit]

Intended as a "complete reconstruction of the franchise", Guilty Gear Strive retains the core essence of the series but revamps many features and mechanics, except for the removal of the series’ signature mechanic, the Instant Kill.[1] It introduces the "Wall Break" feature, which allows for stage transitions when a combo is initiated in the corner of the arena.[2]

Synopsis

[edit]

The story continues after the events of Guilty Gear Xrd.[3] It is the conclusion of Sol Badguy's story (A.K.A. The Gear Hunters Saga), set in Washington, D.C., featuring his final confrontation with That Man, Asuka R. Kreutz.

Main story

[edit]

Three weeks after former Sanctus Populi Ariels is defeated, I-No frees the powerful magic-user Happy Chaos from her body. Asuka turns himself in to U.S. president Colin Vernon E. Groubitz, intending to join the White House's G4 peace summit from a holding cell and ask the other nations for assistance in ridding the world of the Tome of Origin and Sol Badguy. The world's leaders fear an attack from I-No and hire knights from each country, including Sol Badguy, now the world's renowned Gear hero who remains a bounty hunter. Sol and his lover, Jack-O', plan to refuse, but accept after noting Ariels' warning about I-No and Chaos' plot. After releasing and brainwashing the samurai Nagoriyuki, I-No surrenders herself to the Illyria police, convincing the world that it is safe to hold the summit. However, Sol and Jack-O notice something wrong and attempt to capture Chaos, but realize that Chaos created weapons using materials from Nagoriyuki's blade, which can kill Gears and other immortal beings. During an interrogation, I-No claims to remember a kind blonde man from her past. In private, Jack-O' reveals to Sol and Ky Kiske that I-No is "incomplete" and must join with her other half to achieve godhood. She suggests sacrificing herself to turn I-No into a regular human, but Sol refuses.

Realizing something will happen at G4, Sol leaves for the U.S. with the third Illyrian King Daryl, while Milla Rage and Zato-1 are enlisted by Daryl to aid the second Illyrian King Leo Whitefang's investigation. During the summit, Chaos brainwashes the White House guards and holds the dignitaries hostage, though Sol and Vernon, the only ones who can open Asuka's cell, manage to escape and request reinforcements from Zepp and Illyria. After Chaos activates the White House's aircraft mode, "Tír na nÓg", Asuka realizes Chaos is "the original," the man responsible for bringing magic to the world and Asuka's former teacher. After learning what Chaos will do with the Tome, Daryl manages to convince the fallen sorcerer to release him and the rest of the dignitaries barring Vernon, Sol, and Asuka, including surviving agent Giovanna. Chipp Zanuff and Anji Mito sneak into the Department of Defense to confirm their allies of Chaos' other identity as another That Man, and the true culprit who had orchestrated the ongoing Crusades. They theorize Chaos intends to fly the White House into Mexico, where it will be shot down, so Chaos can dig the Tome out of the ashes. Sol confronts Nagoriyuki in an attempt to learn Chaos' weakness, but Nagoriyuki lets himself be defeated to free himself from Chaos' control. Asuka tricks Chaos into locking himself in an escape pod and ejecting onto the Earth below.

Ky and Jack-O' arrive at the White House, where Asuka explains he intends to take the Tome and spend the rest of his life on the moon. Asuka reveals he planned to remove the Flame of Corruption from Sol's body, allowing Sol to live a normal life as "Frederick Bulsara", and reconcile their friendship. Soldiers on the ground find that the "Chaos" in the escape pod is a brainwashed guard, and the real Chaos is still on the ship. Chaos steals the real Tome from Asuka's body and uses it to fuse with I-No, granting her godhood. I-No defeats the heroes and announces her intent to share her powers with the world, likely destroying it. Jack-O' attempts to sacrifice herself to stop I-No, butAria's spirit convinces her to live for herself. Ky and Axl Low distract I-No while Vernon and Sol use the pack of Spiritas 48 from White House's president room to strengthen his Outrage sword into a laser cannon. Nagoriyuki reveals Chaos' true weakness is on his right palm and helps Sol land the shot, mortally wounding I-No. In her last moments, I-No realizes Axl was the blonde man from her past and dies happy.

In the aftermath, "Sol" is given a funeral, having retired as a scientist under his original name, Frederick. He lives with Jack-O' and works on a rocket to visit Asuka, who now hosts a radio show. Axl reunites with Megumi, his lover from the past and I-No's alternate past-self, implied to have received time travel abilities from her fallen future counterpart. In a post-credits scene, Chaos appears alone on an unknown beach.

Another Story

[edit]

While the incident in America triggered by Asuka R. Kreutz’s surrender unfolds, Ramlethal Valentine, now a Special Brigade Commander of Illyria heads to the outskirts of the country after receiving a report of an emergency. There she finds a girl who closely resembles the late Bedman, who once worked with the possessed Universal Will/Ariels against mankind. That girl is Delilah, Bedman's sister who woke up after the death of her brother, now seeking to avenge her late brother by killing Happy Chaos. As a one-eyed and one-armed samurai woman named Baiken learned from Anji and Chipp about who Happy Chaos was, including his involvement on murdering her family, she was entrusted to look over Delilah by Anji, much to her dismay. However, the young girl ran away from Baiken, when Chaos activated "Tír na nÓg" during his invasion there.

While Baiken got an unexpected reinforcement from Sin Kiske, the son of Ky Kiske and Dizzy, is now a knight of Illyria who accompanies Ramlethal on her mission while still retaining his royal status because of his parents’ current reputations. Baiken, Sin and Ramlethal enlists Faust, May and April to assist them stopping Delilah from endangering herself, because her power is unstable and would turn her into a suicide bomber. With the help of Bedman, whose soul now lives in his weaponized bed, Faust is able to administer a cure to permanently negate Delilah’s self destruct power at the cost of finally sacrificing Bedman and weakening Faust.

Sometime after the White House incident ended, the G4 World Peace summit succeeds and Delilah is cured. The main Kiske family members (Ky, Dizzy and Sin) greets the people of Illyria during an official peaceful ceremony.

Base Roster Season Pass 1 Season Pass 2 Season Pass 3 Season Pass 4

The game features fifteen playable characters in its base roster, consisting of 13 returning characters from previous installments, and two new characters: Nagoriyuki, a Nightless vampire samurai who can drain opponents of their blood to increase his attack power; and Giovanna, a special operations unit officer who is accompanied by her wolf spirit, Rei.

New characters have been released as downloadable content via multiple season passes; three seasons of content are currently available, with a fourth season in development. Some of these characters first appeared in the story mode prior to becoming DLC characters. Currently, the DLC roster consists of 11 returning characters from previous installments, and five new characters: Goldlewis Dickinson, an American secretary who fights with an alien-like partner who is inside a coffin dubbed "U.M.A"; Happy Chaos, the overarching series antagonist; the late Bedman's now sentient weaponized bed frame (dubbed "Bedman?"), who is accompanied by his surviving sister, Delilah; Asuka R. Kreutz, a recurring non-player character from previous games; and Unika, a character from the forthcoming Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers anime series. Strive's DLC also adds the series' first guest character, Lucy Kushinada from the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.[18]

Development

[edit]

After a new installment in the Guilty Gear series was confirmed to be in development at EVO 2018 by Arc System Works,[19] the game had its worldwide reveal and announcement trailer under the working title New Guilty Gear, showcasing the new Unreal Engine 4 graphics and Wall Break mechanic in EVO 2019.[20] Two days later, the game's main theme song, "Smell of the Game", was fully revealed as a promotional single.[21] The title Guilty Gear Strive was revealed in a trailer in November 2019.[22]

According to director Akira Katano, the team aimed to appeal to more players by making the gameplay of Strive easier to comprehend compared to previous Guilty Gear games, instead of making it easier. He reasoned that with many fighting games, spectators and casual players would have a hard time understanding higher level play and lose interest in watching or improving.[23] Unlike other entries, detailed explanations of the game's mechanics are absent from the game's tutorial as to "[...] show new players that it is possible to enjoy fighting games without knowing about the battle mechanics [...]".[24] The game's network play also does not include a Ranked Mode, a gameplay mode in videogames that match players based on their skill level, measured by matches won, as to not force players to constantly improve against more skilled opponents and to play at their own pace.[25]

The game was delayed in May 2020 to an unspecified 2021 release date due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[26] After its first public beta went live during February 2021, the game was delayed from April 9, 2021, to June 11, with the development team citing adjustments to certain aspects of the game based on fan feedback for the reason behind its second delay.[27] A second public beta was held during May 2021 to gather additional feedback.[28][29] During the public beta phase, the game's netcode was highly praised by players.[30]

The game was initially planned to be available at Japanese arcades on the same day as the home versions. In June 2021, Arc System Works has announced that the arcade release would be delayed, as testing the game on store locations proved difficult during the COVID-19 pandemic.[31][32]

Release

[edit]

Guilty Gear Strive released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Microsoft Windows on June 11, 2021. It was also distributed via Sega to Japanese arcades on July 29, 2021.[33] "Limited Edition" and "Ultimate Edition" editions were made available for pre-order; console players who get the latter received early access to the full game on June 8, 2021.[34] Cross-platform play was only supported between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions at launch. Cross-play with the Windows version is set to be added as an update alongside the Season Pass 2.[35] Ver. 1.05 added Korean voices, marking the 3rd game in the franchise to have a Korean dub, alongside Guilty Gear X Plus and Guilty Gear X2 #Reload. Versions for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S were announced at Tokyo Game Show 2022, and were released on March 7, 2023.[36] A port for Nintendo Switch was announced in August 2024 at PAX West, and is scheduled for release on January 23, 2025.[37]
