The game's story mode is generally considered short and lacking depth, with only 14 levels that can be completed in about four hours. While it loosely follows the anime and manga storyline, many players find it repetitive and simplistic, primarily serving as a backdrop for character leveling and mission-based gameplay. Fans of the series may enjoy the nostalgic elements, but the overall narrative experience is seen as underwhelming.
“The story mode is a bit short, but the game is well done.”
“It follows the storyline and isn't just kill, kill, kill like other games... great for fans who like to follow the story.”
“Highly recommend this game for anyone who watches and has finished the anime; great game, all the characters you would want to be, including villains. It's a fast-paced hack and slash game with different abilities for different characters.”
“The bad: - no explanation to the story - story mode only 14 levels making about 4 hours of game time at best to complete - mission mode very repetitive as you progress - soul attack mode basically a recycled mission mode - tiny character roster (no Renji or Chad but somehow see it logical to add Kokuto from the 4th movie...) conclusion this game is very fun and I was able to put many hours into leveling my favorite characters; however, this is a simple, cheap game with interesting features that will hopefully be used for future games. The only way I was able to enjoy this was because I loved the show and was attached to the characters.”
“The story mode is a bit short; anyway, the game is well done.”
“[repeated environments and missions, dry story mode, uninspired multiplayer]”
