While some appreciate the character backstories and unique mechanics, the consensus is that the absence of a robust story mode limits the game's potential for deeper engagement. Overall, players enjoy the gameplay but hope for future updates that could introduce a more substantial narrative experience.

    • “It is a great concept, but a longer story would make this game a lot more fun.”
    • “Unique game mechanics; I wish it had a story mode.”
    • “There isn't a story mode (hopefully they do that in an update).”
    • “I did wish that there was a little more something out of the game, like a story mode or anything like that.”
    • “I think you could do a little more like add some more unlockable characters to keep a player playing, but that's optional. Something you need to do is add more characters and a story mode.”

    The game is characterized as both wholesome and complex, suggesting it evokes a range of emotions that resonate deeply with players. This duality enhances the overall emotional experience, making it impactful and memorable.

    • “Very wholesome but complex game.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely compromised, with users reporting significant bugs that can lead to softlocks, particularly related to control customization. Players have encountered issues where changing attack buttons to "enter" renders the game unplayable, as it disrupts navigation and functionality. Overall, the game is described as very buggy, hindering the overall experience.

    • “I literally can't play the game because I was trying to change my attack buttons, but you can't change them to anything but 'Enter'. When I accidentally changed my attack buttons to 'Enter', I couldn't click anything because I would click 'Enter' on the online match, then click 'Enter' again to start, and it would send me back. Also, I can't change the controls for the same reason, so I'm softlocked and the game is very, very buggy.”
