The gameplay in Rumble Arena features enjoyable mechanics like airdodge canceling and classic platform fighter elements, but suffers from floaty movement and various glitches that detract from the experience. While some players appreciate the fun tech and potential for improvement, others criticize the slow pace and monetization issues, making it difficult to fully recommend. Overall, the core gameplay is solid, but surrounding issues hinder its appeal.
- “I really like the airdodge cancel mechanic.”
- “Surprisingly fun platform fighter with air rushing mechanics similar to an anime fighter.”
- “Rumble Arena has a lot of the classic mechanics you'd find in a platform fighter such as air dodging, aerials, smash moves, etc. The game is currently a bit floaty when it comes to movement, much more reminiscent of some of the newer Smash titles than older ones like Melee.”
- “There's definitely a solid game in here, but it's everything that surrounds the gameplay itself that makes it tough to recommend.”
- “The gameplay is pretty poor and there are a ton of glitches.”
- “Not only that, but almost the entire gameplay was floaty.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some users noting that while the visuals are not the worst they've seen, they still require significant improvement, particularly in the user interface and character selection screens. However, there are positive remarks about the high-quality graphics during matches and the successful port from mobile, suggesting potential for future enhancements as the game develops. Overall, the graphics are seen as a work in progress with both promising elements and areas needing attention.
- “The graphics (when set to high) are amazing and I'm glad to see how well it ported over from mobile!”
- “- graphics in matches are awesome”
- “- the UI and graphics still need improvement, though it's looking promising for its early development.”
- “Ugly visuals”
- “I think that graphically speaking, the game isn't anything to write home about, but as this game is still a work in progress, it is to be expected.”
- “The game really needs to upgrade the graphics in the user interface (UI) of the main menu and also on the character select screen.”

Players criticize the grinding aspect of the game as excessively time-consuming and frustrating, requiring thousands of hours to unlock characters or game modes without spending money. The monetization model is seen as exploitative, with high costs for characters and minimal in-game rewards, leading to a negative overall experience. Many users express dissatisfaction, feeling that the grind is not worth the effort in a mediocre game.
- “It's a cheap free-to-play game, and unlike Multiversus, which has a lot to enjoy even with the pay-to-win aspects, this game almost entirely requires hours of grinding and lots of money to spend to play even a second character or a new game mode.”
- “The monetization is atrocious: this game wants you to spend upwards of 10 dollars per character, and the only thing it tells you about them is a bunch of meaningless numbers like 'attack' and 'recovery.' Oh sure, you could unlock everything for free, if you want to spend thousands of hours grinding matches. For perspective: a character costs 1000 coins, and in my first match, I got 25.”
- “When I redownloaded the game, all my progress was gone (I had unlocked all the characters at the time), so I am going to again be uninstalling this game because there is no point in grinding a mediocre game when I have already done it in the past.”

The story mode is perceived as goofy and underdeveloped, primarily serving as a means to earn free items rather than delivering a compelling narrative. While it includes quests and daily rewards that enhance gameplay, the overall story experience is considered lacking.
- “The only reason it works in Brawl is because there are quests that make getting money easier, daily rewards, and a trial system that automatically gives you a couple of characters to test every week.”
- “The story mode is goofy and underdeveloped, but it seems like more of a way to get free items than anything, so that's fine, I guess.”
- “The only reason it works in Brawl is because there are quests that make getting money easier, daily rewards, and a trial system that automatically gives you a couple of characters to test every week, and rivals straight up give you all of them.”

monetization

The monetization in the game is heavily criticized, with players noting that characters cost around $10 each and provide little meaningful information beyond basic stats. While it is possible to unlock everything for free, it would require an excessive amount of grinding, with players earning only a fraction of the necessary currency per match.
- “The monetization is atrocious: this game wants you to spend upwards of 10 dollars per character, and the only thing it tells you about them is a bunch of meaningless numbers like 'attack' and 'recovery.' Oh sure, you could unlock everything for free, if you want to spend thousands of hours grinding matches. For perspective: a character costs 1000 coins, and in my first match, I got 25.”
- “The in-game purchases are ridiculously overpriced, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the game without spending real money. It's frustrating to see how much they prioritize profit over player experience.”
- “The monetization system feels exploitative, as it pushes players to either grind endlessly or pay a significant amount to access content that should be available through regular gameplay.”
