Classic Fighting Game Aquapazza Out Now on Steam

TOKYO, JAPAN – September 25, 2025.

Shiravune is pleased to announce that as of 10AM JST today, September 25, 2025, AQUAPLUS's classic cross-franchise fighting game AQUAPAZZA: AQUAPLUS Dream Match is now available for the first time on PC via Steam.

GAME OVERVIEW
AQUAPAZZA: AQUAPLUS Dream Match is a fast-paced and flashy 2D fighting game featuring heroes from across AQUAPLUS's popular game and anime franchises. This release will include all 26 characters available in the PS3 version, including 13 playable fighters and 13 partners.

- TWO CONTROL MODE OPTIONS—ANYONE CAN PLAY.
Play with traditional fighting-game controls—quarter-circles, combos, and all—or start with Simple Mode to hit the ground running. Simple Mode alters the control scheme to make complex maneuvers easier to pull off, making it a perfect entry point for new and casual players to jump into the fun.

- FEEL YOUR WAY TO VICTORY WITH THE ACTIVE EMOTION SYSTEM. In the course of play, each character's energy will change dynamically with the Active Emotion System. Aggressive, active play will reward you with higher damage output, while being on the back foot will weaken your guard, leaving you vulnerable to its breaking. Keep an eye on your character's expression to stay on top of their feelings and work together to achieve victory.

- STRATEGIZE—OR DOUBLE DOWN—WITH PARTNER ASSISTS. Aside from the primary cast of playable fighters, each player may also choose an additional partner character to assist at the player's command. Each partner has different abilities, and using them effectively can clutch victory from the jaws of defeat.

- SOLO FUN WITH “STORY MODE” AND “ANOTHER STORY MODE”. Even those who are less experienced with fighting games can enjoy AQUAPAZZA immediately via these two self-contained adventures! In the regular Story Mode from the arcade version, players will pursue the culprit behind a mysterious incident, while choosing the console-original Another Story Mode will offer a quest designed to bring out each character's unique charms.

- CHALLENGE THE WORLD WITH ONLINE PLAY. Play online against other players using Steam's online matchmaking features! Bring the skills you've polished to a bigger stage against rivals from all over the world, or keep things cozy with matches against your friends.
