Arcana Heart 3 Love Max Six Stars Xtend is live on Steam.

Added Dark Heart, Pistrix, and her Arcana Parace L'sia as DLC. Not sure if there were balance changes as well.

They finally came through on those Kickstarter goals! I just assumed I'd never get to play as Dark Heart. The shark girl is cool too.

Hoping they add the other content from the Kickstarter as well eventually. I forgot there was another character that didn't get funded but in one of the Kickstarter videos they talked about wanting to add some naked red-headed berserker chick (kinda reminds me of Azrael from Blazblue).

Watching it again hyped me up to try it out.

Recent interview with Takaya, who's been a part of the development team since the beginning more or less. He has also worked with SNK in the past.

The interview's in Japanese so I had to read it through machine-translation.

He talks about the history of the series, the latest release, and future plans. Originally the series was supposed to be a weapons-based fighter like Samurai Shodown apparently. In the future, it seems like he wants to create a new fighting game with 3D graphics. He's considering replacing the arcana selection system with mahou shoujo-style transformations instead. It seems like more of a visual change than changing the actual arcana system itself. Those sorts of transformations would fit the theme of the game really well I think. If they go that route, guest characters from popular mahou shoujo anime could be a thing too.
