The game’s roster includes a total of 20 playable characters (14 in the previous version) and 30 support characters. However, most of these novels have never been published outside the land of the samurai, so unless you are really into imported Japanese light novels, you won’t recognize most of the characters that form the game’s roster, with the exception (perhaps) of Akira and Selvaria, who come from Sega’s Virtua Fighter and Valkyria Chronicles respectively, and Asuna, Kirito and Yuuki, who come from the manga/anime franchise Sword Art Online, which is pretty popular at the moment and of which Bandai-Namco has published several JRPG games already, both, inside and outside Japan. As I was saying before, the roster of Dengeki Bunko is made up by characters that come from different light novels published by Dengeki Bunko. However, the Ignition version has never been released outside Japan, or at least not yet.
In 2015 the game received the typical “enhanced” version called Ignition, and which will be the one I will be talking about in this entry since it’s the most complete one. Although the game was originally released exclusively for the Japanese arcades, it was later ported to PS3, PS4 and PSVita in Japan, America and Europe. For those of you who might not know French Bread, it is worthy to mention that it is a Japanese developing team specialized in fighting games and the creators or Melty Blood, a Japanese doujin fighting game that became so popular that was finally ported to the Japanese arcades and the PlayStation 2, and which is pretty popular among the VS fighting games aficionados despite the fact that the game has never been published outside Japan, so we are talking about guys that know their thing when it comes to throw some pixilated punches.

This time around, we have several characters from the light novels published by Dengeki Bunko, a Japanese publishing company, plus a couple of characters from Sega.
Developed by French Bread and Ecole Software, and published by Sega for the Japanese arcades under the arcade board Sega RingEdge 2 in 2014, Dengeki Bunko (and all what comes after that) is just another of those 2D VS fighting games that gathers in a single game several characters from different franchises just for the sake of watching them beat the crap out of each other.
