The story mode is criticized for its brevity, taking only 20-30 minutes to complete and featuring campaigns for only two out of ten characters, which many players found disappointing. While some enjoyed the quick-paced gameplay and found it fun in multiplayer settings, the overall narrative was deemed lacking, with a confusing anti-drug message and minimal character development. Players expressed a desire for more content and a richer story experience, especially given the game's potential based on its comic origins.
“I beat the main story in under 30 minutes and played with the free play a little, but the limited time I experienced was more fun than I've had playing most mainstream fighters.”
“Even the single player story mode is fun and challenging.”
“There is a story mode playable by either of the two main characters and multiplayer (1v1 or 2v2 with AI bots).”
“The storyline is surprisingly dumb.”
“In a game that has a main focus on story mode, how come it's so limited?”
“There's story transitions that last under 40 seconds per fight, so it's really quick, but there are only two character campaigns in a roster of 10 characters.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing disappointment in its lack of depth and content compared to classic titles like Power Stone. While some appreciate the stylish visuals and local multiplayer options, others criticize the limited mechanics, repetitive nature, and inconsistent AI difficulty, leading to an overall feeling of forgettability. The game is seen as a shallow clone rather than a worthy successor, lacking the engaging and satisfying experience that fans were hoping for.
“Power Stone had a similar issue, but the key difference is that the gameplay felt so fun. I'd be willing to play the same arcade mode again, just to see if I could play it better or faster, or more importantly, try out other characters.”
“This is Power Stone with tighter fighting mechanics.”
“Crazy fighting gameplay with a cool cast of characters for up to four local players, stylish visuals, and great animation, well-designed interactive stages.”
“What I wanted was a spiritual successor to the Power Stone games, or at least something that got pretty close to them. What I got was an interesting, but largely forgettable clone with a kind of cheap enemy AI that counters everything and gameplay that doesn't nearly feel as impactful and satisfying as the games from over 20 years ago.”
“Items in the game are quite limited, and you do not unlock more items through gameplay, unfortunately.”
“Computer-controlled opponents can either be incredibly cheap or easy as pie, and there is a very limited amount of content, making the gameplay repetitive fast.”

The music in the game is generally described as adequate and fitting for the action, with some reviewers highlighting a solid soundtrack that complements the gameplay. While opinions vary, many appreciate the music and sound effects as enjoyable, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, a few critics feel that the music does not fully capture the essence of the source material.
“This game is quite decent and well made; it's a fast and fun brawler that plays rather well, and it is one of very few of this genre in the market right now. The characters are quite lovable, and the music is spot on for the action.”
“A really nice work, with good graphics, animations, and a solid soundtrack.”
“- Great visuals, cool art style, and music.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including bugs that affect gameplay and a freezing problem after completion. Players have noted a lack of content, such as limited levels and characters, which further detracts from the overall experience. Immediate fixes are needed to address these stability concerns.
“Though the game freezes after beating the game, which needs to be fixed as soon as possible.”
“The game is really poor; its biggest issue is that it has few levels, few characters with no real differences in skills, is a little bit buggy, and lacks environmental elements to help during fights. I finished it in 30 minutes, and the multiplayer is as poor as the rest.”
