Evaluation

Arcana Heart 3 LOVEMAX SIXSTARS!!!!!! XTEND launched on Steam on December 12, 2017 and received its major content update — the XTEND upgrade — on April 30, 2021, which added two new playable characters (Pistrix and Dark Heart, released as paid DLC) and a new Arcana, two new stages, and a widescreen upgrade. Both DLC packs shipped on the same date and are the only DLC listed for the game, both marked as released. The store description references "Shark Girl" and "Parace L'Sia" as stretch goals that would be added as paid DLC — these correspond exactly to the Pistrix & Parace L'Sia DLC released on April 30, 2021, meaning those previously outstanding commitments have been fulfilled. Following the XTEND update, the developer issued a substantial bug fix patch on March 3, 2022, addressing multiple gameplay and graphical issues. A smaller security vulnerability fix followed on October 3, 2022. There have been no developer communications of any kind since October 3, 2022 — over three and a half years as of today. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced future content, and no roadmap or developer statement indicating further updates are planned. The game shipped as a complete, finite fighting game with a defined roster, and all previously promised content has been delivered.

About this game

Arcana Heart 3 LOVEMAX SIXSTARS!!!!!!, previously only available in Japan arcades, is now appearing on Steam by overwhelmingly popular request from players worldwide!!

New Playable Character "Minori Amanohara"

After its establishment, the Drexler Institute developed artificial Valkyries and Arcanas. Minori Amanohara was one of the few products of that research who was born at the Japan Branch of the Institute. She is a “Hybride”, a special Valkyrie who can dual-wield the powers of the Arcana and the Geist. She escaped the facility with the help of Petra. “Doing good deeds in secrecy” is her motto, so she uses her ability to defeat evil without being seen.

Although frustrated by her inability to help Heart and the other Angels, she continues to fight for world peace with her newly acquired powers, and stands tall fighting for peace as the "Annihilation Angel Subaru" (self-proclaimed super hero name).

New Arcana "Ichor", the Arcana of Blood

The Arcana of Blood symbolizing the essence of life. The Mobius strip represents the reincarnation of all life. Enhances all potentials to their maximum strength.
