The game's story is a mixed bag, featuring a blend of cliche 90s storytelling and humorous elements that some players find entertaining, while others deem it mediocre and confusing. Players embark on missions to reclaim wastelands from various factions, with side quests providing additional lore and rewards, though the narrative can feel disjointed and overly reliant on memes. Overall, while the story may not be the main draw, it offers enough intrigue and character interactions to keep players engaged amidst the action-oriented gameplay.
- “It made the story much easier to get immersed into.”
- “From the fleshed out lore, easy to follow backstory, character progression, all the interactions with the waifus, the different weapon types, the entirety of stats and how they change the core gameplay, all the way to the jokes and references to other video games and media.”
- “Interesting storyline with twists.”
- “With cliché 90s style storytelling, it's the type of game you don't need to think critically: just shooting enemies, taking side quests, driving from town to town, farming legendary items, playing fighting mini-games, changing costumes, and watching pretty girls.”
- “As much as story can be unimportant for this genre, I found the one proposed in G2 Fighter overly filled with mediocre humor and memes; the janky English translation quality doesn't help with that either.”
- “The story is confusing; I even skipped some parts, but it mainly revolves around Bern Pierron (the protagonist) trying to discover the truth behind something.”

The gameplay of G2 Fighter is a blend of various mechanics, including traditional loot-based ARPG elements, open-world exploration, and unique mini-games that enhance combat and character progression. While it introduces innovative features like the "gene fusion" mechanic and diverse gameplay styles, it is somewhat hindered by limitations in skill combinations and balance issues. Overall, players appreciate the variety and creativity in gameplay, despite some areas needing improvement.
- “I'm 11 hours in, and it's still introducing me to new mechanics and large unexplored areas.”
- “At the core, this title plays out as a standard loot-based ARPG, but it aims to give some spice to the base formula by introducing uncommon gameplay choices and variations, such as skills being learned and upgraded from books rather than with points after leveling, open world vehicle exploration, and various mini-games such as Street Fighter-style combat sessions or accuracy-based challenges.”
- “+ Good gameplay variety thanks to mini-games, open world exploration, and unusual progression mechanics.”
- “Overall, G2 Fighter is a decent ARPG that tries a lot to innovate with novelty mechanics and progression systems over the base formula, but only partially succeeds and is also held back by debatable balance and design decisions.”
- “Only one combat and one movement skill can be actively equipped, preventing skill combinations completely, which is a core ARPG mechanic.”
- “The gameplay, as I said, is killing zombies, red guys, robots, etc. They are all pretty weak, but come in masses.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players expressing disdain for the low-poly, "Roblox-like" aesthetic, while others appreciate the depth and detail in the art style, including comic and anime influences. Despite the simplistic visuals, many users noted that the animations and overall graphical presentation are well-executed and contribute positively to the gameplay experience. Overall, while the graphics may not appeal to everyone, they are complemented by engaging narrative elements and solid performance.
- “Don't let the low poly graphics fool you; there is more depth in the game than you would expect.”
- “An art style that doesn't skimp on detail but doesn't try to be in your face about it.”
- “Amazing graphics, animations, sounds, and effects.”
- “I hate Roblox-like graphics and, in turn, thought I'd hate any games with these graphics. I was right.”
- “In closing, I hate Roblox-like graphics.”
- “Tl;dr: A frustration to play through that offers nothing new to the top-down shooter genre besides using Chinese cartoon portraits and Minecraft graphics... don't buy even at $15... wait for a sale... for an early access title?”

The humor in the game is widely praised, with players highlighting the hilarious voice acting and clever references, particularly to "The Witcher."

- “I've laughed out loud so many times while my roommate is trying to watch Netflix.”

The music in the game is described as generic and uninspired, lacking the depth that music enthusiasts might seek. While it incorporates various styles like 80s synthwave and medieval themes, it ultimately fails to leave a lasting impression, detracting from the overall experience. Additionally, poor translations in the game further diminish its appeal.
- “The music features a blend of 80s, cyberpunk, Blade Runner, synthwave, medieval, scary, and cowboy themes reminiscent of Grim Dawn.”
- “Music is generic, so music enthusiasts won't miss much with this game. The terrible translations for summaries, books, and logs just detract from the whole experience. I get the 'English is not my first language' thing, but really, this isn't even trying.”

grinding

The grinding aspect of the game is reminiscent of classic 90s titles, focusing on repetitive tasks like defeating enemies, completing side quests, and farming for legendary items. While it captures the nostalgic feel of grinding for gear, players find that the exploration of skills is limited, requiring extensive grinding through missions and random drops to fully understand their mechanics. Overall, it offers a familiar yet somewhat shallow grinding experience.
- “Absolutely a throwback to the old days of grinding for that one item that you want to complete your loadout that isn't truly necessary but you want so badly.”
- “A mode that seems to take those grinding concepts from games like Diablo, Destiny, Borderlands, and The Division.”
- “However, the skills were not properly explored, meaning that the only way to find out how these skills worked was only through grinding missions, random drops, or purchasing from merchants as these are the only possible ways to test them out.”
