Bleach: The Blade of Fate on the DS brings a couple of twists to the traditional fighting game, by bringing the action to both screens and allowing up to 4 players in combat. In addition to battling on the top screen, gamers also build a Spirit card deck, which the user can access to cast status changes on themselves or their opponents in the bottom screen. Wi-Fi capabilities allows 4 players to battle each other at the same time. With a burgeoning cast of 28 characters, gamers can spend hours experiencing furious fighting gameplay, and unlocking personal character stories, all based on the series story arc.
