About Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact
Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact is a new 2D fighting game by developer Eighting. Players will pick a 3-character team and duke it out with another individually. Only a single button is necessary to do rush combos, a way to alleviate the demand of complex inputs that are one of the barriers of fighting games. In a pinch, characters will grow stronger through Over Gear, making it possible to take revenge and turn the tides of battle.
