is it a real game? anyone know the name?

It's the War Annals of Witsarunemetea (ウィツァルネメテア戦記), part of Aruruw to Asobo!! (アルルゥとあそぼ!!), a fandisc from Leaf.

So is it actually a fighting game or a battle game of some sort? Or is it just something from the fandisc's gallery

It's an actual game, but it's not a one-on-one fighting game- more like Final Fight, where you (and a friend) take on lots of enemies. Fun if you can get your hands on it.

Also, the title is a joke off "Record of Lodoss War" ("Record of Witsarunemeta War").

There's a 1.1 patch that includes 4 more characters in the bottom, IIRC.

I can't manage to get the characters in the bottom, is there some trick to it?

I wonder if the post DIRECTLY ABOVE YOURS answers your question.

it doesn't

I got 3 of those by fighting them with the characters in the row right above them. Ie, do route D with Karura, route G with Kamyu, and route H with Urutorii. Too burned out to try the last one.

any one mind sharing?

could someone share this game?
