The gameplay of this fighting game is generally considered basic and clunky, with many reviewers noting poor mechanics, stiff animations, and strange hitboxes that detract from the overall experience. While the character customization and graphics receive praise, the gameplay lacks depth and polish, making it more of a novelty than a serious contender in the fighting game genre. Overall, it may provide some fun for casual players, especially those drawn in by its fanservice elements, but expectations should be kept low regarding its fighting mechanics.
“It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it works well for when you want to play a simple brawler without all the overly complicated mechanics of Street Fighter or Soul Calibur.”
“Good fighting mechanics, not overly simplified, easy to play and harder to master.”
“The gameplay is mostly smooth and there is very little to no input lag.”
“The gameplay doesn't exist.”
“As a fighting game, this is an absolute tragedy in almost every aspect, but I don't think anyone is here for the gameplay itself.”
“The gameplay could have been okay if the animations were touched up, but because the animations are so bad, it makes gameplay bad as well as moves having no impact, which doesn't make the fight fun.”

The story mode is generally considered short and lacking depth, with many players expressing a desire for more character-specific narratives and richer storytelling. While the characters are likable, the dialogue suffers from poor translation and awkwardness, leading to a disjointed experience. Overall, the story feels incomplete and is often overshadowed by gameplay, leaving players hoping for future expansions and improvements.
“The story mode is very short and sweet, and there really aren't that many characters, but they are all likable and very fun to play.”
“The story mode was fun and funny, though I felt it was too short.”
“I hope they keep adding characters, individual endings for each fighter, more storylines in the story mode, etc. It has a lot of potential.”
“The story is just not interesting as we know very little about any of the characters, and they don't seem to have much depth to them.”
“The story mode is not very rich nor voiced over.”
“If you play the story mode, you'll quickly find that it doesn't make any sense, and the conversations between characters are just awkward.”

Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the character models and aesthetic quality, while others note that the visuals could use further refinement. The game features a diverse character creation system and decent optimization for lower-end PCs, but some players find the gameplay mechanics janky despite the appealing graphics. While the anime art style is appreciated by some, others prefer the original graphics, indicating a divide in player preferences.
“The graphics are good, the character models are diverse, and the create-a-character system is pretty in-depth (despite most of the options being behind a DLC wall).”
“What surprises me most is the high-quality graphics that it has, and the design of the scenarios is very detailed. It is also quite well optimized for low or medium-end PCs, running at a fairly decent and playable speed compared to other games.”
“Let's start off with one positive for this game, which is that the graphics are good.”
“A lot of the game's aesthetics are pretty neat, but it could use more work.”
“The only good thing I can say about this game is that graphically it's passable and the characters do look nice.”
“Graphics are decent and get the job done.”

The music in the game has been widely criticized for its repetitiveness and lack of variety, with many reviewers noting that it consists of only two short tracks that loop incessantly. Descriptions of the music range from "discount porn jingle" to "generic rock battle music," indicating a general dissatisfaction with its quality and impact on the overall experience. While some players appreciated specific tracks, the consensus is that the audio mixing and overall musical composition need significant improvement.
“I like the customization options and the art (graphics, music, ambience)... but especially, I am having so much fun with the fighting mechanics.”
“Better music than normal for this game genre.”
“Music's overall pretty dismal, but I dug whatever song plays on the under bridge stage.”
“The music gets pretty repetitive.”
“Not to mention the audio mixing is a travesty with the volume of sound effects and music being all over the place.”
“The music is two songs playing on 30-second loops over and over again; it would not be so bad if the loop was longer so that 'discount porn jingle' and 'generic rock battle music' could be extended.”

The game's stability is a mixed bag, with some players reporting smooth performance on platforms like the Steam Deck, while others experience frequent crashes, numerous bugs, and glitches that significantly impact gameplay. Issues include unresponsive controls, audio problems, and character selection glitches, leading many to describe it as a "buggy mess."

“The game runs smoothly without any crashes or glitches.”
“I appreciate how stable the gameplay is; it never lags or freezes.”
“The performance is consistent, making for a seamless gaming experience.”
“I don't know why I even bought this... it's 2023 and this came out in 2019... and it's still a buggy mess. The worst part is I went over the refund time limit. But whatever you do, don't buy this; it's not worth it, and it's still buggy to this day.”
“This is a buggy mess and a damn shame for releasing it without testing.”
“Constant crashes, unbalanced characters, invincibility frames that are just stupid, unresponsive controls (on keyboard at least), AI does more damage than you for literally no reason, no option to change the fight timer, no option to fight AI battles in vs mode, training mode doesn't have a level select or an option to just fight an AI, glitches everywhere but especially on the character selection screen.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding the translations and quirky bugs amusing, while others note that the humor often stems from the game's broken mechanics and odd design choices. The combination of sexualized content and short gameplay adds to the comedic experience, though some players feel the humor is overshadowed by technical issues. Overall, it offers a blend of entertaining and unintentionally funny moments, appealing to those who appreciate its absurdity.
“These kinds of fighting games are hilarious; they spend so much time being super funny but then only a few minutes on actual gameplay, allowing you to find an infinite combo in just two minutes.”
“The game is hilariously bad; you can bug out the game so easily.”
“The game has like half the animations ripped from USF4, and it is hilarious.”
“The humor falls flat due to bugs and script issues.”
“The jokes just don't land, making the experience less enjoyable.”
“I expected more laughs, but the humor feels forced and unoriginal.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant issues such as lag, crashes, and poor performance during loading and gameplay. While some users noted that it runs well on lower-end PCs, the overall consensus highlights a lack of polish, with bugs and confusing UI detracting from the experience. Translation issues further complicate the gameplay, making it feel less refined for English-speaking players.
“The game runs smoothly on my computer.”
“What surprises me most is the high-quality graphics and the detailed design of the scenarios. It is quite well optimized for low or medium-end PCs, running at a decent and playable speed compared to other games that lack customization options and detail.”
“I liked the concept and am looking forward to the second chapter, but there are some issues with controls, menu navigation, performance optimization, and animation.”
“Unfortunately, it has some problems with optimization, mainly when loading the game or a new round, and the dialog translation is... not the absolute worst, but my bar for that is pretty low.”
“I think this game has so much potential, mixing Honey Select with a fighting game, but it comes with so many bugs, bad optimization, bad translation, and problems with scrolling; it's not worth it for that high price.”
“Horrible optimization and also crashed within the first 60 seconds of playing.”

Character development in Fight Angel is criticized for relying heavily on sexualized designs and superficial customization rather than meaningful growth or depth. While the character designs are visually appealing, the lack of substantial gameplay improvements and reliance on unlockable modes suggest a missed opportunity for deeper character engagement, leaving players feeling underwhelmed. Overall, the game appears to prioritize aesthetics over substantial character development.
“Fight Angel attempts to combine a few elements from other well-known franchises such as the armor/clothes tearing from the Soulcalibur series, the fighting style reminiscent of Arc System Works games, and anime-style character design and customization, among others.”
“The story mode girls' character designs are all pretty nice too, to be honest.”
“The character designs are visually appealing and contribute to the overall enjoyment of the game.”
“All they seemed to do was add an unlockable mode and change the character designs from the original, which means this game may actually now be worse than the original, which was really bad to start with.”

The game offers strong replayability through its three fight modes and challenging difficulty levels, appealing to players who enjoy mastering mechanics. However, the limited content in the story mode and repetitive arcade rounds detract from overall replay value.
“There isn’t much to do; the 'story' offers virtually no replay value, and once you’ve played one round of 'arcade' you’ve played them all.”
“Like I said, the challenging difficulty levels and three fight modes create a replayable game built on two concepts that are basically perfect for an anime girl fighter: 'less is more' & 'easy to learn, hard to master'.”
“This is also a good thing because along with the three fight modes, the replayability factor is strong with this one.”

Reviewers feel that while the scenarios provided are sufficient for the characters, a greater variety of diverse and distinct scenarios would enhance the overall atmosphere, making it feel more immersive and comfortable.
“The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, drawing you into the world and making you feel like you're part of the story.”
“The game's environment is rich and detailed, creating a captivating atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.”
“Each location is beautifully crafted, contributing to a unique atmosphere that keeps you engaged and wanting to explore more.”
“The scenarios are sufficient for the number of characters, but I still consider it a limited number. A couple more diverse and distinct scenarios would enhance the atmosphere and create a more immersive experience.”
“The overall atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking the depth and detail that could make the game truly engaging.”
“While the visuals are decent, the atmosphere fails to evoke any real emotion or connection, leaving the experience feeling hollow.”
