- The graphics and art style are visually appealing, with a colorful and clean design that enhances the overall experience.
- It captures some of the essence of classic brawlers like Power Stone, providing a nostalgic feel for fans of the genre.
- The game lacks content, with a very short story mode and limited character roster, leading to a quick sense of boredom.
- There is no online multiplayer option, which significantly limits the game's replayability and fun factor for those without local friends to play with.
- The AI can be frustratingly overpowered, making single-player experiences feel unbalanced and less enjoyable.

The story mode of the game is criticized for its brevity, lasting only 20-30 minutes and featuring only two character campaigns despite a larger roster. Players noted that the narrative is simplistic, revolving around a clichéd plot of rescuing a girlfriend, and lacks depth compared to the source material. While some found the cutscenes and character interactions enjoyable, the overall experience felt limited and unsatisfying, leading to a lack of replay value.
“The story mode follows Duke Diamonds or Richard Aldana in a mission to save Richard’s girlfriend who has been kidnapped by a secret organization amidst an epidemic of drug-crazed rioting.”
“In between each fight, there are cut scenes and some of the story unfolds.”
“Even the single-player story mode is fun and challenging.”
“The story mode is really short; it would have been great to have a TowerFall-like story mode with mobs.”
“The storyline is surprisingly dumb.”
“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 graphics of the game are widely praised for their polished, cartoony aesthetic and vibrant color schemes, reminiscent of 70s films. Players appreciate the clean art style, character design, and animations, although some experienced frame rate drops that could be mitigated by adjusting settings. Overall, the visuals contribute significantly to the game's fun and engaging atmosphere, earning high marks from reviewers.
“The game’s graphics look superb with a sort of cartoony look yet it’s a bit different.”
“It's amazingly well presented, with amazing graphics and optimization.”
“A really amazing art style and diverse cast.”
“The color schemes, graphics, dialog, etc. will remind you of a 70’s flick.”
“So if you want to play the game at the best settings, you better have a good PC; though there shouldn’t be any problem for lower-end PCs to play the game at low or even normal graphics presets.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players expressing disappointment over its lack of depth and impact compared to classic titles like Power Stone. While some appreciate the tighter fighting mechanics and the inclusion of various weapons, others criticize the limited content, simplistic mechanics, and AI issues, leading to an overall perception of the gameplay as forgettable and lacking in fun.
“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.”
“While I wasn't a fan of the characters or the initial art design, the gameplay is a solid nod to the original Dreamcast party fighter.”
“There are a number of different weapons to pick up, most of which are simply used to throw at your opponent, but there are a few things such as rocket launchers that add depth to the gameplay.”
“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.”
“The fighting mechanics are pretty simple.”

“It's a very fun party game with great visuals and an amazing soundtrack.”
“There’s plenty of soundtracks in the game, and they’re very nice to hear as well.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including bugs that lead to freezing after completion and a lack of content, such as limited levels and characters. Overall, players find the experience frustrating and in need of urgent fixes.
“The game is really poor; its biggest issues are few levels, few characters with no real differences in skills, a little bit buggy, and not a lot of environmental elements to help you during fights. I finished it in 30 minutes, and the multiplayer is as poor as the rest.”
“The game freezes after beating it, which needs to be fixed as soon as possible.”
