THE FUSE

I’m not sure who Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is for. The bones of an excellent fighter are here, with a roster of varied fighters, gorgeous hand drawn animation, and a ton of bespoke mechanics and systems that make each character a rewarding challenge to master. The problem is that Avatar Legends feels so unfriendly to newcomers that I don’t know how anyone other than the most FGC-pilled player is supposed to find their footing in it.
