Suggested by Destroyer The Lifter is strong enough where even Captain America couldn’t get him to budge. I don’t see the Chunk being able to win here. Yes, he does have some decent moves on his side as well as his gun but ultimately teleportation is more of a supporting ability. The Chunk isn’t particularly fast either and so he can’t really put this ability to its best possible use. Ultimately he will go down here. Chunk wins.
Suggested by Destroyer The Midgard Serpent is a very powerful creature whose size is really out of this world. Batwing has some good tech and could potentially deal some serious damage if you gave him a few years but there’s nothing he can do in the short run. This is an example of a time where having the speed advantage just isn’t enough. If you can’t really hurt your opponent then how can you expect to win a fight? Ultimately he will get tired and then it’s game over. Midgard Serpent wins.
Suggested by Destroyer Gutsman is an EXE character but surprisingly he’s not all that tough. The guy is slow as nails and even though he has some decent chips later on, that’s not going to be enough. Ultimately Slade still crushes him with his fire abilities and hand to hand combat. Gutsman has no real answer for that and ultimately he will be going down. You need at least some speed to back up your strength and Slade will exploit this weakness real quick. Slade wins.
Suggested by Destroyer Eggman has a lot of great robots, armors, inventions, and the works but none of them will be quite enough to stop Wolverine here. Wolverine has had many power ups over the years and is a savage fighter. All he has to do is get up close and land a single hit. With his Phoenix Force form that won’t be difficult to do at all. Eggman’s just going to end up being completely doomed here. Wolverine wins.
Suggested by Sonic This is a pretty close battle. Both of these fighters have some really great feats up their sleeve. Swamp Thing is much more of a tank type fighter as he can endure blow upon blow with ease. On the other hand Moondragon can certainly fire off a lot of attacks and has a great amount of firepower. Could she destroy all of the vegetation before Swamp Thing could fight back? It’s a close one either way but I’m leaning on her in this fight because she’s faster and can manuever in the air better. Moondragon wins.
Suggested by Sonic Kite has the ability to take out most data type fighters with ease. They definitely don’t stand much of a chance against him but Crow is a different story. He can quickly just get right into the thick of it and land some powerful blows. Kite has no answer for the various bird type monsters that Crow can summon and also isn’t quick enough to close the distance between himself and Crow. Crow wins.
Suggested by Sonic Turles has incredible power and seems to grow stronger with every appearance. He has come a long way from being unable to deal with super saiyan level opponents. Phantom is quite fast so I don’t want to underestimate him, but he’s not going to be doing much of anything against Turles. Ultimately he is heavily outmatched in all physical areas which is what will cost him dearly here. Turles could end the solar system in an instant. Turles wins.
Suggested by Sonic Amy has a degree of super speed and is skilled with her hammer so I don’t want to say that this will be a stomp or anything like that. That said, Dawn still has the edge here thanks to having a wide variety of Pokemon to back her up at every turn. Amy will quickly be overwhelmed at this point and even her speed would be matches during the battle. Dawn wins.
Suggested by Sonic Gandalf is a powerful spellcaster so you don’t want to count him out of the fight right away but at the same time I don’t see him having any way to deal with Wesker’s incredible speed. Wesker should be able to easily run rings around him and a single good hit would do the job. Gandalf’s durability isn’t exactly on the higher end. Wesker wins.
Whenever there is a free fighting game to check out, it’s definitely worth a play. Fighting Ex Layer is much like Street Fighter X Tekken in that you can see the full game content right out of the gate in the menus but you just can’t interact with them unless you pay the full price. I went into this one with the freemium version of course so I stuck to my selection. The game’s modes aren’t too extensive anyhow.
The modes here are vs mode (Online and Offline), Arcade mode, and Training. There isn’t a story mode here and Arcade only has one block of text as a character ending of sorts. So this is really a game that is focused purely on the combat. For most that will probably be enough for them to spend money on the full version so they can play the online vs mode. Battling against people online really throws in the replay value after all. If you stay strong on that though then your best bet is playing through the Arcade mode.
You get 4 fighters to play with and each one has their own special techniques and attack options. Mastering each character is your best way to win. I was able to complete the Arcade mode on normal and easy and they were reasonably tough so I imagine going on hard mode would really be a tough ordeal. Definitely not something to do unless you’re really confident in your own abilities. You have to have absolute confidence in yourself or it’s all over. I recommend going for the leg sweep, they seem to have a hard time blocking that move.
Mix in a few aerials and just keep swinging buttons. I can’t say I had an easy time finding out which attack combo’s into another so just find a 2 hit combo and you’re set. You can at least launch a flying kick and then go for a sweep which should work for any character. Pull that off and then you’re in a really good spot. You can also use an unblockable attack by pressing the A and X buttons at the same time. It’s super slow but gets the job done in a pinch.
Another benefit to jumping a lot is that if the opponent counters you will be just out of range. A final tip I should mention is grabbing is really good here. Just throw the opponent all over the field and you won’t have a problem. It’s a great way to keep the momentum at all times. It also deals quite a bit of damage so the game reminded me of Street Fighter V in that sense. Man I used to throw all the time there and it would just work. That’s how good the throws were.
The graphics are definitely really solid here. The game looks new and has a fairly sci-fi kind of feel to it. You feel like it’s a modern title and I would like to see the characters show up in a game with a story mode someday. Now that would absolutely have a ton of potential behind it. The soundtrack is more on the forgettable side. No real bad tunes or anything but none that you’ll remember once you finish the game. It could really use one rock solid rock theme if you ask me.
In general the game is just lacking in content kind of like Super Mario Run’s free version. It would be good to have added some more things to do here or maybe we could get a story mode at some point. The best thing to do if you ask me would have been to have added some text before each opponent so the arcade mode feels like a story. I think that would have hit the best balance by far and it’s a relatively low impact way to enhance the game as a whole. I’m surprised more titles don’t quickly slap a little story together like that. Would be a perfect way to pull it off.
At the end of the day the game is still good because the gameplay is solid though. It may not be the fastest paced fighting title but the moves make sense and you always feel like you have a chance. It’s got a higher bar to really learn the controls than a lot of the other fighting games so you can’t expect to just pick it up and start landing combos. This is one of those games where actually learning the moves will be absolutely mandatory.
Overall, Fighting Ex Layer is a game that I’d recommend giving a download. After all, it’s free so there’s no reason not to. Way I see it, downloading a free game is always worth the effort. Even if it doesn’t light your world on fire, you’ll have still gotten to play a nice game and it won’t have cost you anything. I don’t think you’ll be playing this game for very long as there isn’t much to do on your own but you can enjoy the nice gameplay and characters. Slap on some more content for this without having to purchase it and you’ll definitely have a winner here. It just has to be done soon before people have forgotten about the game. Honestly the marketing wasn’t that intense so you very easily could have missed hearing about it even from the start.
Overall 5/10
