The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, with many reviewers praising its energetic and engaging soundtrack that features a mix of "bangers" and contributions from notable guest musicians. The audio design complements the gameplay well, enhancing the overall experience with standout tracks that fit the game's vibrant atmosphere. While some users noted minor issues, the consensus is that the soundtrack significantly elevates the game's appeal, making it a highlight for players.
“The soundtrack is phenomenal and the arcade stories are crazy fun.”
“The music is also fantastic with several guest musicians contributing to an awesome OST.”
“Has some decent soundtracks here and there but overall has a hint of Power Stone but not so great.”
“I wish the default track for the level was automatically selected when I chose a level though, because I want the track to fit the arena I'm fighting in and when I enter a match, the music can help immediately pull me in and 're-familiarize' me instantly with what I'm about to play in.”
“You may occasionally start head bopping and dancing to the music because the OST definitely has some certified bangers.”

The game's graphics receive mixed reviews, with praise for its vibrant art style and solid technical execution, reminiscent of classic arcade brawlers.

“Really enjoyable game and the artwork is fun and bright.”
“Nice graphics, characters with attitude, and a killer soundtrack make for a good time!”

“My only complaint is that the graphics have a bit of a shiny, almost plastic-like quality to them; I'd prefer a more matte look, but that's purely my taste in aesthetics.”

The game features a story mode that has received positive feedback for its engaging narrative, character development, and artistic presentation. However, some players criticize the "missions" as being more akin to tutorial levels rather than true missions, and note that the overall story content is currently limited, with additional content promised in future updates. Overall, while the story mode is appreciated, it is seen as needing more depth and variety.
“The art style, the mechanics, the music, and the story are great.”
“The music, the voices, the characters, and the story!”
“Story openings & endings for each character in arcade mode.”
“The game comes with your standard arcade/story mode, free-for-all and team matches with the inclusion of online play, but that's it.”
“Edit: I should have mentioned as well... 'missions' aren't actually missions; they are just more tutorial levels. Don't label them missions if I'm literally just learning about character moves.”
“It's barebones on the modes at launch, but story content is scheduled to come soon.”
