Introduction
Eternal Fighter ZERO is a doujin 2D fighting game developed by Twilight Frontier. All the characters are taken from four dating sims/visual novels; MOON, ONE, Kanon, and AIR. Behind the cute graphics lies a very solid fighting engine.
As much as it is based off characters from dating sims and visual novels, most of the character's abilities and bits of the game's system are based off other fighting games, such as the Guilty Gear series and the King of Fighters series.
