  • story
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying its anime-inspired narrative and character depth, while others find it disjointed and overly complex. The story mode is lengthy and features fully voiced characters, providing insights into their personalities, but it can also be perceived as tedious and lacking coherence. Overall, while the story may not be groundbreaking, it offers a substantial experience for fans of the genre, with multiple endings and a visual novel-like structure.

    • “I loved the story mode because it reminded me of the anime series mentioned above.”
    • “This game, however, comes with a detailed story mode which provides us glances into each character's personality and their lives with full professional voice acting.”
    • “No, the story is not that complicated; it's the typical mecha/evangelion kind of thing where you just need to pay a little bit of attention to know what is going on, because every arc of the character is actually happening at the same time with another one, so some endings might be connected with others, thus creating a new verse.”
    • “Arcade mode has a disjointed story, but there is a story mode with apparently more sketchy character design, which was based on the original Senko no Ronde Duo not released outside Japan, but switches back to a more modern character design as used in arcade and character profiles during fights.”
    • “Story mode is painfully dumb and annoying in places.”
    • “The story is not that complicated; it's the typical mecha/evangelion kind of thing where you just need to pay a little bit of attention to know what is going on, because every arc of the character is actually happening at the same time with another one.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received high praise, particularly for its impressive soundtrack and the addition of new character themes, which many consider to be standout pieces. While some users noted variability in the overall sound quality, the inclusion of an OST book has been appreciated for enhancing the fan experience and preserving the game's legacy. Overall, the music is often described as a highlight, contributing significantly to the game's immersive storytelling.

    • “The soundtrack is amazing, especially the new themes added for some characters.”
    • “The game itself is worth looking at for the super 10/10 story mode, with the music also being a 10/10. Themes such as 'Cavalier's Note', 'Art of War', or 'Invulnerable Satellite' are just masterpieces.”
    • “The book is like a visual novel; most of the characters and CG look like some sort of concept (which looks kind of neat!), and some parts of the text make you listen to a song while reading, making it a book VN, always welcome!”
    • “Music and sound, your mileage may vary here.”
    • “The visuals, sounds, music, and voice acting all sound fine and serviceable.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a dynamic blend of bullet hell shoot 'em up and fighting game mechanics, offering enjoyable and challenging 1v1 combat with a variety of characters and arenas. While players find the gameplay fun and engaging, there are calls for better explanations of the mechanics and improvements to the netcode to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Once you really get the combat mechanics down, you'll be blasting away like a pro.”
    • “[Enjoyable and challenging blend of fighting and shoot 'em up gameplay, lots of characters and arenas, good amount of replay value.]”
    • “Also, I'm no one to say this, but it needs to explain the mechanics better to attract more audience. The netcode needs to be fixed too, but I'm sure they're working on that.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, this is a mix of both a bullet hell shmup (shoot 'em up) and a fighting game.”
    • “This is a great tactic, especially during the endgame, since it is somewhat of a last-ditch comeback mechanic.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are well-optimized for medium-end PCs, with minimal frame drops, and feature a vibrant anime-inspired art style that enhances the overall presentation. The visuals, along with the sound and voice acting, are described as solid and serviceable, contributing to an engaging experience.

    • “The graphics handle well, and you should be fine with minimal frame drops on a mid-range PC build.”
    • “The anime-inspired artwork and colorful cast of anime trope characters really make the presentation stand out.”
    • “The visuals, sounds, music, and voice acting all come together to create a fine and serviceable experience.”
    • “The visuals, sounds, music, and voice acting all sound fine and serviceable.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is marked by a disjointed narrative in Arcade mode, while the Story mode features a more sketchy character design reminiscent of the original Senko no Ronde Duo. However, this design shifts back to a modern aesthetic during fights and in character profiles, creating a contrast that may affect immersion.

    • “The character development in the story mode is intriguing, showcasing a blend of sketchy designs that pay homage to the original 'Senko no Ronde Duo' while also incorporating modern aesthetics during fights.”
    • “The transition between the sketchy character designs in story mode and the modern designs in arcade mode creates a unique visual experience that enhances character development.”
    • “I appreciate how the character profiles during fights reflect their backstories, adding depth to the overall character development in the game.”
    • “The arcade mode has a disjointed story, and while there is a story mode, the character design feels inconsistent, switching between a sketchy style based on the original 'Senko no Ronde Duo' and a more modern design used in the arcade and character profiles during fights.”
    • “The character development is lacking, as the story mode's character design appears to be a mix of styles that don't blend well, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
    • “The inconsistency in character design between the arcade mode and story mode detracts from the overall character development, leaving players feeling disconnected from the narrative.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a compelling mix of fighting and shoot 'em up mechanics, featuring a diverse roster of characters and arenas that contribute to its strong replay value. Players find the experience both enjoyable and challenging, encouraging multiple playthroughs.

    • “An enjoyable and challenging blend of fighting and shoot 'em up gameplay, with lots of characters and arenas, providing a good amount of replay value.”
    • “The variety of characters and arenas keeps the gameplay fresh, making me want to come back for more.”
    • “Each playthrough feels unique due to the different strategies and character combinations, enhancing the overall replayability.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received criticism, particularly regarding the online mode, which users report as laggy and poorly optimized.

    • “I haven't tried online mode yet, but from what I hear, it's quite laggy and not optimized well at all.”
