The story aspect of the game is generally viewed as minimal and lacking depth, with many players noting that it serves primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a focal point.

grinding

Players note that while the game avoids overly grindy achievements, unlocking certain characters and final bosses can be tedious, requiring either skillful play or extended grinding sessions. Once past the initial learning curve, the gameplay becomes enjoyable for a few hours, despite the effort needed to access all content.
- “While the game has a fairly large roster of characters, and a decent number of stages and music tracks from the get-go, the final boss character from their respective games and the other unlockables require some work to get, which can either be fairly difficult as you're required to clear certain modes in a single credit on normal or higher, or a lengthy process of grinding gameplay sessions until they eventually unlock.”
- “But after passing that tedious learning part and starting to get the hang of it, it is actually fun for a few hours.”
- “Grindy achievement(s): no.”
