The story mode has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and filled with content, while others criticize it as repetitive and lacking depth. Many users expressed disappointment in the narrative's execution, describing it as boring and poorly localized, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, while there are elements of fun and unlockable content, the story fails to captivate a significant portion of the player base.
“Engaging story and characters.”
“The story is enhanced by some wonderful localization.”
“From what I saw, there's a good amount of content to unlock and the story mode has much more than I expected.”
“The only unfortunate thing is that the story mode is not captivating. I would have appreciated if we could fight against a version of every character instead of fighting against the master's child multiple times.”
“On top of that, the story is very boring and seems to be repetitive.”
“I played about 8 missions and basically fought every character twice already, and three times for the character with purple hair.”

Players find "Space Fist" to have decent replayability, as it offers a complete experience that can be completed in 4-5 hours, along with a PvP-only LAN mode that enhances its longevity.
