  • Diverse and unique roster featuring multiple arsenals per character, including iconic mecha from popular anime, providing deep and varied gameplay.
  • Solid and satisfying fighting mechanics with intuitive controls, good defensive options, and a variety of playstyles; gameplay praised as fun and engaging for both newcomers and veterans.
  • Rollback netcode enables functional online play; frequent developer updates and community support continue to improve the game experience.
  • Connectivity and stability issues, especially on Steam Deck, including authentication failures, frequent crashes, and spotty netcode leading to matchmaking difficulties and low online population.
  • Some design choices limit character completeness, such as splitting movesets into arsenals that restrict access to full character toolkits, causing imbalance and frustration.
  • Lack of certain features expected in modern fighting games, including limited resolution support, minimal offline modes beyond arcade and training, and somewhat simplistic single-player content.

  • gameplay

    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    48% positive mentions, 44% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The gameplay is widely praised for its solid, well-balanced mechanics that blend grounded fighting with anime-style features, offering a variety of unique characters, playstyles, and defensive options without overwhelming complexity. Players appreciate the crisp controls, satisfying combos, and creative systems inspired by classic fighters, making it accessible yet deep and engaging for both mecha fans and fighting game enthusiasts. While the core gameplay is excellent and thoughtfully designed, some note issues with matchmaking and minor bugs that slightly impact the overall experience.

    • “Solid variety of playstyles and defensive mechanics are good. It has an arsenal system similar to V-Triggers, but you get access to them from the beginning of the match.”
    • “Interesting mechanics, good balance, creative moves and abilities, wide variety of combo routes, superb execution, no broken combos, good focus on the neutral game, and characters that play and feel unique.”
    • “The gameplay feels crisp, all the characters look and sound great, and there's clearly a lot of love put into it by developers who actually care about fighting games!”
    • “Kaguya feels terribly weak with a mechanic that relies on doing gray damage but then having a meter consuming combo-ender to make that gray life go away, making her feel terribly weak against anyone with good defense.”
    • “It's similar to GBVS in terms of gameplay, but the game suffers from lack of defensive options.”
    • “Stupid gacha mechanic for character colors and profile accessories with no way to focus on a specific character or purchase ones you want.”

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game currently offers limited single-player content with basic arcade and mission modes, but a more fleshed-out story mode combining fighting and turn-based tactics is planned for a free future update. Fans of the series may appreciate the visual novel-style story elements, though the current package feels barebones for those seeking rich single-player experiences. Overall, players look forward to the upcoming story expansion to enhance the narrative aspect.

    • “Single player content is quite fleshed out compared to other modern fighters and we are getting a story mode soon!”
    • “Fans of the properties will be interested in the VN-style story bits, and as a new player I found the easy mode fairly easy but still entertaining, with the normal mode providing a fun challenge.”
    • “The product package can feel underwhelming if you are particularly interested in single player content, but that is going to be helped with a story mode (that seems to combine the fighting game system with a turn-based tactics game) being added in a free update in the near future.”
    • “It is pretty barebones (arcade, multiplayer, combo trials, missions etc), the usual features but that's ok because this isn't a AAA 60-100 bucks game.”
    • “The story/arcade stuff is fine, useful to try out tactics in a somewhat 'real' battle.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game receives generally positive feedback, with comparisons to iconic soundtracks like Megaman X and Super Robot Wars, enhancing the mecha fight experience. While some users appreciate the music's quality and nostalgic feel, a few feel it is adequate but not particularly standout. There is also a suggestion to add more music and voice acting in arcade mode to enrich single-player gameplay.

    • “The graphics and music are awesome (though I could do without the chibi style).”
    • “OST reminds me of songs similar to the Mega Man X series.”
    • “For me, what makes a mecha fight so cool is the awesome super robot soundtrack which makes the SRW games enjoyable; I'm not a big fan of turn-based games, but this makes them tolerable to play.”

    • “Gorgeous visuals with combos that feel like poetry yelled through a megaphone, complemented by tight controls and clean rollback.”
    • “The mechanics are fun, with simple animations and visuals. The game offers great online play, affordable pricing, no microtransactions, and multiple offline modes.”
    • “A solid fighting game featuring functioning rollback and a unique art style.”
