Nicalis has revealed the latest character that will feature in its upcoming old-school fighting game, Blade Strangers, and it’s none other than Isaac from The Binding of Isaac.
The game includes a range of playable fighters from games worked on by developer Studio Saizensen, like Code of Princess and Sayonara Umihara Kawase. It was also recently announced that Gunvolt from Azure Striker Gunvolt and Mighty Gunvolt Burst will also be a playable fighter, as will Quote from Cave Story. If you are wondering how Isaac will fare against these characters, check out his moves in the announcement trailer below:

Blade Strangers‘ story centres on a malevolent force devouring data which forces a collection of sentient robots to summon heroes from parallel dimensions to face off against each other in one-on-one combat (in order to emerge as the one true savior of course). It’s an interesting premise which, of course, allows the developers to justify how these characters can co-exist within the same game.
Blade Strangers is coming to Switch and Playstation 4 later this summer.
