The gameplay is characterized as fast-paced and responsive, offering a rich variety of mechanics and unique character abilities that enhance the fighting experience. While many players appreciate the depth and creativity of the combat system, concerns about online play and netcode persist, with some expressing frustration over the limited character roster and lack of single-player content. Overall, the core gameplay is well-received, with a strong emphasis on fun mechanics and strategic depth, despite some criticisms regarding its execution and surrounding features.
- “The gameplay is extremely fast-paced, so even with solid connections and good netcode, there’s only so much that can be done when you’re flying across the screen at lightning speed against someone from another country.”
- “Gameplay is responsive, one of the smoothest fighting games I have ever played, and not difficult to learn.”
- “Every fighter brings not just unique movesets but entire strategies — condition-based abilities, mind-game mechanics, and momentum shifts that feel like a mental checkmate when executed right.”
- “Netcode doesn't work, no single player content worth mentioning, abysmal gameplay and control scheme.”
- “It cannot be carried by gameplay alone, and I'm unsure why I will still play it, but I will.”
- “It does an ok job telling you how the mechanics work in its tutorial, but the combo trials don't help you understand how the characters work.”

The story mode of the game has been widely criticized for its lack of depth and content, primarily consisting of static images from the anime and minimal combat, which many players found unsatisfying. With a runtime of only a few hours, the mode fails to engage players with meaningful narrative elements or character development, often focusing on secondary characters rather than the main protagonists. Overall, it serves more as a tutorial than a compelling story experience, leaving fans of the anime disappointed.
- “With past fighting games based on anime, we received rich story/arcade modes or missions that let us experience the action, drama, and suspense all over again.”
- “For a complex story I enjoyed from start to finish, based entirely around fighting, fans deserved a game that honored the anime.”
- “The characters and story captivated me, and I always knew the different nen abilities on display would lend themselves quite well to a fighting game.”
- “The story mode is severely lacking content, with the Chimera Ant arc featuring a grand total of 3 fights.”
- “I loved HxH, but this game doesn't reciprocate that love and instead includes a bare-bones slideshow story with what feels like low-effort cut and paste screenshots from the anime, and shrugs at the idea of teaching you anything in a coherent manner in the way of combos.”
- “The story mode is just screenshots from the anime; the roster is lacking for a $75 game.”

Overall, the graphics are seen as a significant drawback, but opinions vary on their impact on the enjoyment of the game.
- “I've heard complaints about the graphics, but I think it's okay; it really fits the art style and vibe of Hunter x Hunter. Overall, I'd recommend buying this game if it goes on sale.”

- “No graphic settings to adjust is wild.”

- “Insanely scuffed cash grab game.”
- “Huge HxH fan and unfortunately the game is mid and overpriced. Even if the rollback was working properly, $60 for the base game is terrible value for what seems like a bare-bones cash grab of a fighting game targeting fans of the anime and manga.”
