Overview
Blade Arcus from Shining, stylized as BLADE ARCUS from Shining, is a 2D fantasy fighting game developed by Studio Saizensen and released by Sega for arcades (for their PC-based RingEdge 2 hardware, digitally distributed via ALL.Net P-ras MULTI Ver. 2) in Japan on November 5, 2014.
It is a fighting game spin-off of Sega's long-running Shining series of RPGs, featuring characters from the 2012 game Shining Blade and the developer's 2010 game Shining Hearts. It includes a two-on-two tag-team system similar to Capcom's 1997 fighting game Rival Schools, and uses 3D models with limited animation (for the illusion of hand-drawn 2D).
It later received a home conversion for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on November 26, 2015, under the title Blade Arcus from Shining EX, and later received a worldwide digital release for the PC on July 28, 2016 as Blade Arcus from Shining: Battle Arena. It also received a sequel in 2019, known as Blade Arcus Rebellion from Shining.
