Guilty Gear Xrd is a fighting video game sub-series by Arc System Works and part of the Guilty Gear series. Guilty Gear Xrd was developed using Unreal Engine 3 with cel-shaded graphics in place of the series traditional hand drawn sprites. Following the storyline of the last game in the series Guilty Gear 2: Overture it introduced seven new characters. The first Xrd game Guilty Gear Xrd Sign was released in arcades on February 20 2014 as the 5th main installment and for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan and North America in December of the same year. A digital-only release happened in Europe in June 2015 and it was brought to Microsoft Windows via Steam on December 9 2015. The game has been praised for its cel-shaded graphics and approachable gameplay but criticized for its non-interactive story mode and smaller roster of characters.
