  • story
    51 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story mode is praised for its depth and engaging narrative, presented in a visual novel style with cinematic cutscenes that enhance character lore. While some players find the story enjoyable and well-structured, others criticize it for excessive cutscenes and frustrating gameplay mechanics, particularly during challenging battles. Overall, the story is seen as a standout feature, especially for a fighting game, though opinions on its execution vary significantly.

    • “The game itself has potential to be amazing, it has great characters and ideas, a great story and cool combos.”
    • “I'm surprised how fleshed out the story mode is.”
    • “It has a cinematic story mode with great cutscenes to give you the lore for all the characters.”
    • “Got 80% through the main character's story just to get stuck fighting my shadow self (which you have to beat 8+ times to get past and your health doesn't come back unlike your shadow self each round). Fun game to play with friends, but I would absolutely not recommend playing the story; it will have you wanting to break your controller!”
    • “Fun game, art style is not the greatest, the story mode is pretty bad; the actual fighting game is really fun though.”
    • “The story mode is the worst design I have ever seen in all fighting games.”
  • gameplay
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “This game is brilliant; it is so much more enjoyable gameplay-wise because it's not overloaded with neutral skipping tools. The hyper jump can cover a lot of space and truly punish zoners easily, so besides that, it's all footsies and great neutral gameplay. 10/10 for me, well done for sure.”
    • “Amazing gameplay, very good pixel art, amazing animation, feature-rich, made by people that love fighting games.”
    • “You can see there was a lot of care and love put into this game, but there is a bunch of jank in the gameplay, which honestly gives it an old school feel.”
    • “The gameplay is very grounded and not unnecessarily complicated.”
