Blandia Plus

Blandia is a 1992 fighting video game developed by Allumer and published by Taito for arcades. It was released in Japan in October 1992 and Europe the same year. It is the sequel to Allumer's Gladiator. Along with Strata's Time Killers, Blandia is one of the earliest weapon-based fighting games modeled on the success of Capcom's Street Fighter II, a subgenre later typified by SNK's Samurai Shodown and The Last Blade. Hamster Corporation acquired the game's rights alongside Allumer's catalogue, releasing the game as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in October 2023.
