The story is criticized for being poorly executed, repetitive, and lacking depth, with some reviewers suggesting that it would have been better without a narrative at all. While it attempts to provide character backstories and motivations for fighting various gangs, the overall storytelling is deemed subpar and unengaging. One reviewer did find some merit in one character's story, recommending it as a slight redeeming quality amidst the overall disappointment.
“On paper, it has nice ingredients - two characters, combos with separate punches and kicks, aerials, and a super; you have a different story for each character, two levels with vehicular combat, and leveling up.”
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Awfully repetitive, buggy, unresponsive controls, poor feedback, ear-torturing music, and possibly the worst storytelling I've seen in a game.”
“They tell us about the story and why we're fighting against random gangs and organizations, but to be honest, no story would've been better here.”
“If you absolutely must play this, I recommend that you try Alexia's story.”
