- “This could all improve in the future, but the devs knew they had no player base since they had no advertisement, and still chose to launch without basic stuff like letting you play around in the training area while matchmaking to at least get somewhat familiar with the characters.”

Overall, the game's stability is marked by several bugs and glitches that require attention, particularly in character balancing and custom lobbies. Players have also noted issues with visual clarity and high ping for those outside the primary server region, which can affect gameplay experience.
