Fun and energetic 3D arena-style fighting game with unique magical girl anime characters and combos.
Charming art style, catchy music, and good voice acting with well-known Japanese voice actors.
Multiplayer modes including local and network play (though network is mostly inactive); recommended for playing with friends.

Poor and clunky controls, especially problematic with Xbox controllers; controller remapping is broken or incomplete.
Frustrating camera system that is often difficult to control and does not automatically face opponents properly.
Technical issues including frequent crashes, bugs, poor optimization, long load times, and a mostly dead online community.

The story is generally short, lightweight, and anime-influenced, often described as fun but somewhat clichéd or ridiculous. While it offers unique, amusing elements and decent voice acting, some users find it too brief and occasionally information-heavy or confusing. Overall, it provides an entertaining but limited narrative experience.
- “Haven't played the game a whole lot but in all due respect I highly recommend you give this game a try, the ideas and story are nicely implemented and that soundtrack always seems to come back to you plus game has great music in general.”
- “Awesome fighting game, story mode was pretty cool and unique the way it told it.”
- “The story is fun if not a bit anime cliché, and that is what makes it good.”
- “The story is ridiculous and every conversation at the start of a battle is an information dump.”
- “Poor, very limited story.”
- “The story is silly and anime as hell.”

The gameplay offers a mix of unique mechanics and defensive depth with class-based combat and tactical elements, appealing to some fans of arena fighters. However, many reviewers found the controls clunky, repetitive, and lacking engagement, with limited content and occasional technical issues, making it feel underdeveloped and not fully satisfying at its current price.
- “Takes place in a sci-fi/magical setting with classes like 'bushido mage,' 'holy mage,' 'magical cyborg' and mechanics that actually have depth (more than can be said for the random and quickly-boring 'fly, punch and shoot-only system' so frequent with this sub-genre of fighter). With mechanics like just guard, invulnerable wake-ups, a refined bushido blade clash system, a very unique formation system and 'drives' with their own underlying mechanics, and a defensive gameplay that focuses on your ability to sway and punish as opposed to wasting magic/energy/ki/etc., this game feels like what the DBZ Raging Blast games should have been like... on PC with controller support.”
- “Maybe it's a little difficult to control at first, but if you do the tutorial, you can understand the basic control and game mechanics.”
- “Great action, good graphics, nice story, has multiplayer and a form of co-op by versus the bots with your friends, cool characters, and some very unique gameplay elements such as the minions you control in battle to fight alongside you.”
- “The gameplay mechanics are broken and frustrating.”
- “Gameplay too limited, mostly easy boring smash button.”
- “So you're playing roulette: sometimes you get a full gameplay screen, other times just a black screen. Oh, but you can still play blindfolded.”

The graphics are generally described as average to outdated, resembling Dreamcast or PS2-era quality with some appealing anime-style art. While character designs and aesthetics receive praise, level visuals and overall optimization often fall short, leading to performance issues and an aged appearance. Players note the game could benefit from HD upgrades and better technical support for modern hardware.
- “The graphics and voice acting are well done and the music is catchy :) This game isn't for everyone but I'd say give it a chance if you're curious.”
- “Good story, good graphics.”
- “(Recommend co-op if your friend is easy to get mad over losing xd) Great action, good graphics, nice story, has multiplayer and a form of co-op by versus the bots with your friends, cool characters, and has some very unique gameplay elements such as the minions you control into battle to fight alongside you.”
- “I was interested in the story when I first downloaded this game, but when I actually got to the gameplay, I noticed that the graphics are outdated.”
- “Another generic button masher with annoying female voices in Japanese, bad camera angles, ugly graphics, and stupid AI that look the same.”
- “However, it is held back by poor controls, very outdated graphics, and a whole bunch of technical problems, i.e., hitting escape exits the whole game, and frequent crashes on both of my PCs.”
