The gameplay is generally enjoyable and features unique mechanics that enhance the puzzle fighter format, such as rotating the board and stunning opponents, which adds a dynamic element to the experience. However, some players find the core gameplay lacks depth, with limited modes and challenges, particularly in the arcade mode.
