While some acknowledged a unique art style and appreciated the character customization options, the overall consensus is that the visual presentation significantly detracts from the gaming experience.

- “Awful fighting game with awful animations, graphics, and broken UI/HUD.”
- “Graphics tech is not up to scratch for a PC game; you get a choice of a few video modes, none of which fit modern PCs, and all of them are just a variety of letterboxing to show off the fact that the game is fixed resolution (and a low resolution at that)!”

The game's story is widely criticized for being a confusing and clichéd mix of typical fighting game tropes, featuring a "save the world" plot with over-the-top elements. Players express frustration over the inability to use their created characters in story mode, and while some find the absurdity entertaining, many agree that the narrative lacks depth and coherence. Overall, the story is seen as a weak aspect of the game, with little incentive to engage with it beyond the novelty of its ridiculousness.

- “There are 2 story modes: one is a prologue and the other is the locked main story exclusive to the gold edition.”
- “The story is incredibly ridiculous; it's the typical save the world shtick and defeat the evil villain who is after real ultimate power with magic, sci-fi, and superhero stuff.”
- “Even if you wanted it for the story mode, which I don't know why you'd want a fighting game for a story mode... but if you did, this game's story is really lame too.”
- “The over-the-top and misogynistic dialogue from the story mode is just the last nail in a terribly constructed coffin.”
