The gameplay can be very challenging and requires you to come up with a proper strategy before taking decisive actions. You can only walk an X amount of steps and every unique ability has a different range as well.
Combat in Core Blaze happens so fast that players must be able to set their control scheme to muscle memory in order to utilize their attacks and combo them effectively. Standard 'beat-em-up' combat will get you killed fast.

It feels like each of the games shown at the Gamania Gameshow last week held a strength that made it unique from the others. In the case of Tiara Concerto the defining factor is its animation quality.

Now I know some of you may be thinking: "Isn't this just another Team Fortress 2 ripoff?" and you can STOP RIGHT THERE because it is in fact NOT a TF2 clone! The gameplay is original.
