The gameplay is praised for its fun mechanics and depth, combining traditional fighting game elements with unique features like a left-right mixup mechanic and a burst system. While it is easy to pick up and learn, allowing for creativity and varied playstyles, some players note that it lacks balance and can feel simplistic. Overall, the game is recommended for fans of the genre, particularly those who enjoy a humorous and meme-inspired experience.
“Notably, Digital Crafter introduces a strong left-right mixup mechanic in place of throws, which I've never seen before.”
“The gameplay feels good, the characters are hilarious to look at, and every character plays a bit different, giving you quite a wide variety of playstyles.”
“Secondly, the gameplay is easy to pick up and learn. Even though it has limited buttons, the game still allows for creativity and freedom of expression.”
“Gameplay-wise, it's simple and pretty poorly balanced, but this is honestly a bit of a meme-game, so that's somewhat to be expected.”
“As soon as you boot up the game, they show you the system mechanics via 9 pages.”
“As for the mechanics themselves, I cannot recommend enough for starters because it's a mix between standard/traditional fighting game (think Street Fighter with grounded footsies and semi-tough combos via links) and some anime elements (bursting, dash canceling, and long combos).”
