  • gameplay263 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing it for being overly simplistic, repetitive, and heavily reliant on pay-to-win mechanics. While some appreciate the art style and find the combat mechanics engaging, others feel that the lack of player control and the auto-battling nature diminish the overall experience.

    • “I really enjoy the gameplay.”
    • “The combo system is creative, and something new and fun for the genre, which sees many same ol same old mechanics.”
    • “100% pay to win, prices for everything are absolutely insane, network issues are common, gameplay loop extremely repetitive after a couple of weeks, and no way to get ahead whatsoever unless you're willing to drop gigabucks.”
    • “But in terms of actual gameplay, you aren't doing anything.”
    • “It's just a bunch of cluttered screens and boring idle tapping gameplay.”
  • graphics260 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their vibrant art style, stunning animations, and overall visual appeal, with many players noting that they enhance the gaming experience. However, some users expressed disappointment that the gameplay does not match the high-quality visuals, often describing it as repetitive or overly simplistic.

    • “The graphics are fantastic to boot.”
    • “Awesome graphics, lots of variety.”
    • “I was at least expecting a clone of KOF: All Stars, but this game is inferior in terms of visuals and the way it plays.”
    • “The graphics are basic and the gameplay is totally brainless.”
    • “One of the most horrible remixes Street Fighter has ever had in life in history; graphics are trash, controls are even worse, storyline is stupid.”
  • monetization169 mentions

    The monetization in this game has been widely criticized as aggressive and predatory, with many players labeling it a blatant cash grab. While some users appreciate the absence of intrusive ads and the ability to progress without spending, the overwhelming presence of high-priced microtransactions and paywalls has left a negative impression, leading to disappointment among fans of the franchise. Overall, the game's monetization practices are seen as a significant detractor from the overall experience.

    • “I only wish some of the in-game purchases were either a little cheaper or gave more items, but since they're completely optional, I don't mind too much. The game is free-to-play friendly as there's lots to earn every day.”
    • “There is monetization, but you can go quite far without spending anything.”
    • “Very fun, so far the microtransactions aren't egregious.”
    • “The monetization is aggressive, bugs aren't being fixed while progressively overpowered characters are being introduced, and the player base is crashing to the point where the top two guilds on my server can't find enough active players.”
    • “This game has the most predatory, horrendous monetization/management I've ever seen, and I've played a lot of gacha games.”
    • “It's just another cash grab, poorly handled IP that could have been great.”
  • story106 mentions

    The game's story has been widely criticized for being lackluster and unengaging, with many players finding it boring and formulaic. While some appreciate the flashy graphics and character lore, the overall narrative fails to captivate, often feeling generic and heavily tied to monetization strategies that hinder progression. Players express frustration over paywalls and the repetitive nature of missions, leading to a sense of stagnation in the story experience.

    • “I love the Street Fighter lore, the storylines, and characters... all my kind of joyous, cheezball action.”
    • “The game is very generous with events and login bonuses, the character selection is huge, the summoning is fun, the story is engaging, and the game modes are very rewarding.”
    • “Story is fun, climbing the towers and overcoming the challenges are exhilarating and getting high-tier characters from either upgrading or rolling is an exciting feeling.”
    • “However, there wasn't much of a story, and it was kind of boring after the first week.”
    • “The gameplay is quite compelling, and requires you to use your brain, but this game has no story to speak of (at least not a good one).”
    • “Story is lackluster; if you don't spend money, you hit a very real progression wall about 5 or 6 chapters into the story.”
  • music58 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising its nostalgic ties to the Street Fighter franchise and its engaging soundtrack, while others criticize the repetitive nature and lack of original compositions. Many players express frustration over the inability to turn off the music, which detracts from their overall enjoyment. Overall, while the music and sound design are appreciated by some, there are significant calls for more variety and originality.

    • “The intro video combined with the exciting music and smooth graphics really hit home on how much passion there is in this game.”
    • “The detail and music will keep you entertained and plenty of easter eggs!”
    • “It's very engaging, the visuals and music are top notch.”
    • “And the sound design and music is downright lazy, sounds like clips ripped straight from Street Fighter 4, and Ken's SF2 theme on repeat.”
    • “The inability to turn off music is a huge turn off - I often play mobile games while listening to audiobooks or music, and Street Fighter: Duel really prevents me from enjoying myself and relaxing!”
    • “Music gets really repetitive.”
  • grinding38 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being tedious and unfulfilling, with many players expressing frustration over low character pull rates and the inability to repeat stages for resources. While some enjoy the initial gameplay and the user interface, the overall sentiment leans towards the grind being excessive, often leading to a pay-to-win scenario that detracts from the experience. Players report feeling stuck and unmotivated to continue due to the lack of meaningful rewards for their efforts.

    • “What I love the most is that the UI is easy to pick up, and the learning process is not tedious like many in this genre.”
    • “Tedious, play forever and you may never get the characters you want. One of the characters I did not get was Michelangelo the turtle. I didn't get any of the turtles no matter how many tickets I turned in; all it gave me was upgrading material. Waste of time, and the characters are all arranged badly.”
    • “Grinding to get tickets to pull characters that have a horrendous pull rate is just habitual.”
    • “Meh, was fun at first, but then just constantly being walled. Can't even repeat things to get resources. Pay-to-win in the end, so not worth the trouble in even grinding when you can't even do that just to get demolished by a pay-to-win player. Very poor execution and money-grabbing game.”
  • stability11 mentions

    The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant bugs and glitches that hinder gameplay, such as login issues, unresponsive features, and account bans due to system errors. While some users have experienced smooth gameplay and a solid progression system, the overall sentiment leans towards frustration with the game's frequent instability and lack of polish.

    • “I can't continue to play the game if it's acting buggy.”
    • “Can't even log in after downloading and troubleshooting.”
    • “Honestly, it's fine as a mobile game, but it's so buggy that I don't feel like it's a finished game.”
  • optimization8 mentions

    The game's optimization is a mixed bag; while many players praise its smooth performance, great graphics, and engaging gameplay, others highlight significant flaws such as mis-translated skills, aggressive monetization tactics, and a lack of compensation for initial issues. Overall, the experience varies widely among users, with some enjoying the seamless operation and others frustrated by the game's monetization and balance problems.

    • “Great game that has all of the RPG MMORPG and auto-play experience. Couldn't ask for more with this one. Build your team and elemental groups of mass power and performance. Easy to understand and tutorial guidance!”
    • “The game runs smoothly.”
    • “Fun, runs smoothly on my device, rewards are fair, gameplay is simple yet engaging.”
    • “The game has many flaws with the first event after launch, going paid only for the very first banner is a greedy move. The game had mis-translated skills which made one character perform lower than everyone initially thought, and no compensation was given or reset for the materials used. The game spams you with top-up purchases, and a few purchases are the same items but have different saving values (100% vs 170% for the same items). This is not a good experience.”
    • “The optimization in this game is severely lacking, leading to frustrating gameplay. The performance issues make it difficult to enjoy the experience fully.”
    • “There are significant optimization problems that hinder the overall enjoyment of the game. It feels like the developers rushed the launch without addressing critical performance issues.”
  • humor8 mentions

    The humor in the game is largely perceived as lacking, with players expressing frustration over gameplay mechanics that feel unbalanced and unfair. Some find irony in the developers' focus on monetization, while others suggest that the inclusion of characters from popular franchises could have added a comedic element. Overall, the humor aspect is overshadowed by dissatisfaction with the game's design and monetization practices.

    • “I find it hilarious because I've done the same with other games in the past and I never got banned or anything.”
    • “It would be funny seeing characters from, like, Dead Rising or Resident Evil be here.”
    • “Youtube tiny86 for funny content.”
    • “It's really not funny when the computer can heal three times faster than all the damage you can do; they need to fix this ridiculous game.”
    • “The jokes in this game fall flat and feel forced, making it hard to enjoy the experience.”
    • “I expected some clever humor, but instead, I was met with tired clichés that just didn't land.”
  • character development5 mentions

    Character development in the game is visually appealing, with well-designed characters and abilities; however, players express frustration over a lack of engaging progression and repetitive gameplay mechanics. Many feel that the introduction of new updates has detracted from the experience, adding unnecessary complexity and diminishing interest in character progression. Overall, while the aesthetics are praised, the depth and engagement of character development leave much to be desired.

    • “Love the abilities and character designs as well.”
    • “The effects and character designs are well made, but that's about it that this game provides.”
    • “The new updates completely killed any interest I had to play the game by adding chores on top of chores and introducing completely nonsensical character designs instead of missing characters.”
  • emotional3 mentions

    Players express a strong emotional response to the game's mechanics, particularly the frustration and disappointment associated with the divination system, which can lead to feelings of heartbreak after numerous unsuccessful attempts to obtain desired characters. This emotional strain contributes to a reluctance to engage with the game further.

    • “The divination system for pulling special characters can be quite disheartening and heartbreaking, especially if you save them up and then get nothing even after 80 tries.”
  • replayability3 mentions

    The game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it disappointing due to a lack of combat features, others appreciate the abundance of challenges and daily rewards that encourage repeated play.

    • “Plenty of challenges and daily replay value with rewards.”
