  • Gameplay is fast-paced, fun, and offers deep combo potential with a unique 3v3 tag system and simple controls accessible to beginners.
  • Character designs and movesets are faithful to Hunter x Hunter, with some characters feeling well-crafted and enjoyable to play.
  • The game has a nostalgic Marvel vs. Capcom vibe with explosive combos and a chaotic, entertaining style that appeals especially to fighting game veterans and HxH fans.
  • Netcode is widely criticized as poor, causing lag, disconnects, and problematic online matchmaking, severely limiting online play experience.
  • Single-player content is extremely limited and lacks polish, with a very short story mode using static images and little engagement beyond basic missions.
  • High price point is not justified given the small roster size, lack of content, dated graphics, and balancing issues, leading many to recommend buying only on sale.

    The gameplay is widely praised for its fast-paced, responsive, and deeply thought-out fighting mechanics, with unique character abilities and innovative tag systems that offer strategic depth and variety. Despite a small roster and a lack of substantial single-player content, the core fighting experience is considered highly engaging and fun, especially for fans of tag fighters and complex mechanics. However, online play is often hindered by poor netcode, impacting the overall experience.

    • “This game is really fun and it deserves better; some of the most fun tag fighting gameplay since MVC2, but with a lot more characters being broken than that game. The HxH cast has a lot of great characters in it.”
    • “By far the most time and thought put into fighting game mechanics-wise, because this game is dense with what you can and can't do.”
    • “The actual core gameplay here is really fun and I quite like it.”
    • “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.”
    • “The story is very short and mostly serves as a tutorial, although it doesn't do a great job making sense of the less intuitive mechanics.”

    The story mode is widely criticized for being extremely short, lacking depth, and presented through static anime screenshots with minimal voice acting, serving mainly as a basic tutorial rather than a rich narrative experience. Fans expected a more immersive retelling of the anime’s arcs with engaging cutscenes and varied character focus, but the mode falls short by offering limited fights and neglecting key plot points. Overall, the story component feels like a low-effort addition that fails to honor the complexity and appeal of the original source material.

    • “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 entire story is presented through Japanese-only voice acting, English subtitles, and still images.”
    • “The story mode is severely lacking content with the Chimera Ant arc featuring a grand total of 3 fights.”
    • “I was able to finish the story mode within three hours (too long to refund on Steam), and some have done it in even less.”
    • “I loved HxH, this game doesn't reciprocate that love and instead includes a bare-bones slideshow story with low-effort cut and paste screenshots from the anime, and shrugs at the idea of teaching you anything in a coherent manner.”
  • graphics

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely viewed as outdated, resembling early PS3-era visuals, and seen as underwhelming for a 2025 fighting game. While some criticize the visuals as a major downside, others find them fitting with the Hunter x Hunter art style and appreciate the quality of animations despite the simplicity. Overall, the graphics receive mixed feedback, with many recommending the game only on sale due to its perceived value relative to visual quality.

    • “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.”
    • “Actually, the graphics are so lightweight compared to every other fighting game I've played that it feels much more comfortable to play the game with other programs open, unlike other fighting games where my computer will get upset if I don't close other apps beforehand.”
    • “Also, don’t listen to other people; the graphics are great and they mesh well with the Hunter x Hunter aesthetic.”
    • “The graphics suck for a 2025 fighting game; the people who made this game also made Marvel vs Capcom 3, which has better graphics than this game.”
    • “Make them look like PS3 old graphics.”
    • “No graphic settings to adjust is wild.”
  • humor

    The humor in the game arises from its unbalanced gameplay, messy netcode, and lack of content, which create unintentionally funny and wacky moments. Many players find these quirks amusing, often leading to entertaining situations and clips.

    • “The balance may be a mess, but it lends itself well to humorous exchanges and other wacky shenanigans.”
    • “And let’s be honest: it’s hilarious.”
    • “Are people purposely giving themselves worse connection to make a funny clip?”
  • stability

    The game initially suffered from significant glitches and desync issues, affecting stability and gameplay. While many of these problems have been addressed, the stability remains below the standard of most other games.

    • “It had nasty glitches and desyncs at launch.”
    • “It's much better after the glitches and most of the desyncs were fixed, but it's still not as good as most other games.”
    • “Maybe the background glitches out and you win because someone fell through the floor.”
  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally considered bland and lacking variety, with only a few tracks available. Players feel the soundtrack does not stand out or enhance the experience significantly.

    • “Music and stages are really bland; I wish there was a greater variety.”
    • “There aren't many musical tracks, making the overall experience less engaging.”
    • “The music lacks diversity and does not complement the gameplay well.”
  • monetization

    The game's monetization is widely criticized as an overpriced, cash-grab targeting fans, offering poor value with a bare-bones fighting experience despite its high base price.

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