The remastered version of the game features significantly improved graphics that enhance the overall visual experience, though opinions on the new art style are mixed, with some players expressing disappointment over its AI-generated look. While many appreciate the nostalgia and the vibrant visuals, others feel that the remaster primarily serves as a graphics upgrade without substantial gameplay improvements. Overall, the graphics are seen as a highlight, but the execution and control responsiveness have drawn criticism, leaving some players longing for the original's charm.
- “The remastered art style looks fantastic, and the fact that you can now play co-op with up to 8 devices over the network is amazing.”
- “The graphics look great, the animations are very nice, and overall it feels good to play.”
- “The updated graphics are clean and vibrant without losing the original spirit.”
- “The graphics are bad in terms of how everything is laid out on the screen, unlike the original version where the size of models was well fitting.”
- “The game itself is very buggy, graphics are way worse, just look at those AI-generated avatars, it's awful.”
- “It's the same game you've played 20 years ago, just with better graphics, nothing more, nothing less (at the moment, at least).”

The gameplay retains its nostalgic charm and core mechanics, offering a fun and chaotic beat 'em up experience reminiscent of the original. While many players appreciate the smooth controls and revamped graphics, there are significant concerns regarding bugs, clunky mechanics, and some disruptive new features that detract from the overall experience.

- “The gameplay is still as fun and chaotic as ever.”
- “A true blast from the past – the gameplay remains just as awesome and fun as I remember.”
- “The camera shake in this game is extremely disruptive, making gameplay uncomfortable and even nauseating at times.”
- “Unfortunately, it's riddled with bugs that make it nearly unplayable, including an overly zoomed-in screen that's disorienting, constant freezes on level 25 in survival mode, and bizarre attack lines that disrupt gameplay.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many reviewers noting that it feels more like a nostalgic beat 'em up sandbox than a narrative-driven experience. While the gameplay offers variety and chaos, the story mode is described as straightforward and devoid of a meaningful plot, with some players expressing a desire for more character development and narrative elements. Despite the absence of a compelling story, the remastered version has rekindled interest, with hopes for future updates that could enhance the storytelling experience.
- “Once I saw the tweet you were going to remaster this old game, I was hyped to see it. Now, 55 minutes of gameplay later, I finished the story stage mission in easy mode. I gotta say it was truly amazing that you remastered this old game.”
- “Good old childhood memory - almost the one and only successful example of a Hong Kong indie game dev story.”
- “I would really love to know about the story behind LF2. I know there is a book written; why not add it to the game?”
- “It's the exact same game from 20 years ago, warts and all - a decent beat 'em up with hordes of enemies, no story to speak of whatsoever, and a bunch of special moves that are wildly unbalanced.”
- “This is a straightforward game without story or anything crazy, and that's fine.”
- “Edit: the update added some quality of life improvements, so I'll be keeping an eye on this game, but after so many years, there were so many cool directions the game could have taken, but in the end the 'story' mode still doesn't have a story.”

The music in the game evokes strong nostalgia, with many players appreciating its classic sound and connection to their memories. However, there are significant frustrations regarding audio control, as players find the lack of options to adjust or mute the music distracting, especially during gameplay. Overall, while the music enhances the experience, the absence of customizable audio settings detracts from player enjoyment.
- “The characters, the music and sound, and the beat-'em-up action – they're all exactly as I remembered them to be, and it's just as fun (and hard!) as it was then.”
- “Nostalgia factor: the classic menu sounds, music, and gameplay instantly brought me back.”
- “Even hearing the theme music again brought tears to my eyes.”
- “One small thing but important: the game doesn’t remember when I turn off the music.”
- “Audio control: there appears to be no visible or accessible way to disable or adjust the in-game music, which can be frustrating for players who prefer to play without it or with their own audio setup.”
- “I prefer to play with only sound effects, and having to disable the music every time gets frustrating.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews; while it runs smoothly and stably, some users noted a lack of improvements such as 60 fps support and enhanced 3D sound. Additionally, familiar gameplay bugs and glitches from the original version persist, detracting from the overall experience.

- “The game runs smoothly and without any issues.”
- “This remastered version brings all of that back—familiar characters, stages, and chaotic fun—just with cleaner visuals and smoother performance.”
- “For the honest review: it would have been a nice improvement to support 60 fps (the animations themselves have the same low frame rate as the original game) and perhaps the 3D sound could be optimized to today's standards (even at the far edges of the map, no channel should be this low in volume).”
- “A childhood dream but literally no optimization after 20 years.”
- “Gameplay bugs and glitches: there are noticeable bugs and performance issues during gameplay.”

- “I really hope from Marti's perspective (the creator) this isn't simply a cash grab.”
- “I'd buy to support the creator, play for a couple of hours to get the achievements and maybe some LAN co-op with a buddy, but if nothing is updated soon then this is clearly a cash grab and I'm lost at that.”
