RWBY: The Game

RWBY: The Game is an open world video game that features the cast of characters from the popular web series RWBY. The game is developed and published by Square Enix. The game was first released in North America, but afterwards also was available in other regions short after. The game is made in the same way as the series.

The game mainly follows the plot of the series, but also has some side-missions, and sometimes even normal missions, that don't appear in the series. The game has several game modes, which will be explained below. However the Story Mode has a story for each of the main characters, and each character fights in a way borrowed from other games.

Gameplay
The gameplay of RWBY is very complicated to explain. Every story in the Story Mode has a different type of gameplay. What they all have in common though is that the game is an open world game. Each of the character's fighting styles borrow elements from various other, well-known, video games.

Ruby and Nora have a similar way of fighting. They are slap-stick fighters, button smashers. You mostly just fight your way through the enemies, without having a real tactic. You can defeat the enemies with their fighting style, but you can learn to understand the combo's in fighting to be a professional in their fighting style. Their style is based on games like; DmC: Devil May Cry, God of War and Dante's Inferno. The difference between Ruby and Nora is that Ruby is much faster but Nora is much stronger.

Weiss makes use of Dust in her fighting style. Unlike Ruby and Nora's fighting style, the one of Weiss is more structured. It is mainly based off the gameplay of the Kingdom Hearts series. There is a little menu in the bottom left corner that displays all the Dust she can use during combat. She also knows standard melee attacks that are also displayed there. She can also combine Dust with her Melee attacks to give it more effect.

Blake has two fighting styles mixed into one. She has a stealth mode and a freerun mode. In her stealth mode Blake can sneak around in the open world and can kill her opponents without being noticed. This also applies to her shooting. This style is based off Metal Gear Solid. In freerun mode Blake is able to climb on buildings and use her quick combat style to quickly eliminate big shrowds of enemies. This is mostly based on the Assassin's Creed series.

Yang and Ren share a similar fighting style. They both mainly use close combat, with some few long range attacks shot from their guns. They have a fighting style similar to the Batman: Arkham City series. Is is mostly close combat and ramming into the foes. Ren is somewhat more structured than Yang and also can use his blades during fighting. However Ren's gunshots do less damage than Yang's but he can sleep more rapidly.

Jaune's fighting style is very basic. He simply swings with his sword and deflects with his shield. You could compare his fighting style with the one of The Legend of Zelda series. He has to rely on his tactics or else he won't be able to survive in combat. Defeating enemies takes longer with him than others, but he gain much more experience.

Pyrrha makes use of a special system which is similar to the one of Final Fantasy XIII. She can switch between three forms; her sniper, her spear and her shield. She mostly is long range but can fight on close range too. She is very fast, but more aimed to big shrowds of enemies, instead of large and strong enemies. When faced a strong enemy she has to apply more tactic to her fighting style.
