The gameplay is generally enjoyable and features unique mechanics that enhance the puzzle fighter format, allowing for strategic planning and dynamic interactions, such as stunning opponents. However, players note a lack of content beyond the arcade mode, which offers minimal challenge, and an online mode that suffers from low player activity. While the core mechanics are solid and visually appealing, some aspects, like sending items to opponents, could benefit from clearer instructions.
