The game is fun, challenging, and offers a nostalgic arcade feel reminiscent of Punch-Out!!, making it enjoyable for fans of the genre.
Character animations and special moves are well-executed, providing a satisfying experience when successfully landing attacks.
The game has a unique charm and can be addictive, especially for players who appreciate the Baki series and its characters.

Gameplay mechanics are inconsistent and poorly communicated, leading to frustrating experiences, especially with certain attacks being undodgeable.
The game feels like a low-budget reskin of another title, lacking originality and polish, which detracts from the overall experience.
Many players feel the price is unjustified given the game's quality, with complaints about controls, graphics, and a lack of depth in combat.

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users finding it subpar and lacking depth, particularly in combat mechanics and keybinding options. While some appreciate the charm and visuals, they feel the game fails to deliver engaging mechanics, especially for a fighting game, leading to a perception that it is overpriced for the experience offered. Overall, the gameplay is seen as fun yet flawed, needing significant improvements to fully realize its potential.
- “Fun, addictive gameplay.”
- “There is charm, there are amazing visuals, but the mechanics for a fast reaction 2D fighting game need work.”
- “When I learned about a Baki game with punch-out mechanics, I knew it was the crossover I didn't know I needed.”
- “It's really like a $7 game; the gameplay is subpar and boring. They should have added more depth to the combat, like combos or a true counter.”
- “If that alone doesn't tell you that this game kind of fails gameplay-wise, then I don't know what will. The different animations for the characters' special moves are cool, and the X-rays are also pretty nice, but that can't excuse the absolutely criminal $30 price tag.”
- “But above all else, as pointed out in the other reviews, the biggest issue with this game is the mechanics.”

Overall, the visuals contribute a unique aesthetic but may not meet everyone's expectations.

- “Nice graphics.”
- “The art style is a bit janky, and certain aspects are repetitive (such as the music and Baki's special attack).”
- “There was some charming personality going into it that reminded me of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out but with Baki's visual and auditory aesthetic.”

The game's stability is criticized for being poor, with reports of buggy combat and inconsistent hitboxes that disrupt gameplay. Users feel the overall quality is low, likening it to a cheap re-skin of another title, and suggest it is only worth a fraction of its price.

- “That fight is completely ruined by one attack which is super inconsistent and impossible to dodge 100% of the time due to the buggy hitboxes lingering longer than the attack itself.”
