Our world and the world of the elements formerly shared the same space and time eons ago, but for unexplained reasons, they drifted apart. If, in the present day, they were to come back together, the consequences for humanity would be devastating. The activities that are taking place in the sky over Tokyo are leading up to exactly such an occasion. Maidens are young women who have the ability to speak with beings from the Elemental world known as Arcana. They are the only ones who have the power to halt the transformation of this form from occurring.
The original arcade version of Arcana Heart is now available as a two-dimensional video game. Find out what’s going on in Tokyo by picking one of eleven different Maidens and eleven different Arcanas, each of which possesses its own set of skills, and use them to your advantage. The gameplay of the game is quite similar to that of the Guilty Gear series. It includes a range of sophisticated tactics, such as air dashing and dash cancellations, which together make for difficult high-speed clashes.
In addition to the typical story, arcade, and vs modes, this game also possesses a training mode and an illustration gallery that may be unlocked. The players have the option of using the characters in their original form or in the rebalanced version that was introduced in the arcade update Arcana Heart FULL!
