- “Character designs are unoriginal and boring.”
stability

Overall, the game's stability is marked by several bugs and glitches, particularly with bot behavior and custom lobbies, which can disrupt gameplay. Players have also noted visual clutter that affects clarity during matches. Additionally, high ping issues for non-Asian players highlight the need for improved server distribution.
- “You can currently play training, custom matches, or vs bots, but the bots can be a little buggy sometimes; for example, I had one that would just stand at point A while point B was active.”
- “There are a few bugs and glitches that need to be fixed, as well as some balancing between the characters. I would go so far as to say this is better than Overwatch; all I ask of the developers is to please get some more players into the game from other parts of the world, as the ping is high for us players who are not from Asia because it is the only very active server region.”
- “Custom lobbies were maybe a little buggy sometimes, like issues inviting.”

The music in the game is generally praised for being engaging and energetic, enhancing the frantic gameplay experience. However, some players feel that the audio environment could benefit from more depth and consistency, as the music tends to cut out at key moments. Overall, while the soundtrack is enjoyable, there is room for improvement in the game's audio design.
- “The soundtrack is great; I listened to the intro song for like 5 minutes.”
- “This game is frantic and fun; the gameplay scratches an itch that not a lot of PvP games have done for me recently. Give this fast, frenetic game a go; the music really slaps too.”
- “The art, music, graphics, character lore, and concept are great.”
- “The music kicks in at very specific points then cuts out, and honestly, the game could use some more soul in the environment's audio department.”
