    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their unique comic book and retro-inspired art style, with a nostalgic, vaporwave aesthetic that complements the game's setting and vibe. While the visuals are generally well-received and fitting, some note that the graphics remain rough and lack polish, reflecting the game's early alpha stage with limited customization options.

    • “The art style of the scenery is very good.”
    • “Graphics are also lacklustre.”

  • gameplay

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a mixed experience, with some finding the combat fun and controls easy to pick up, while others criticize it for being clunky, slow, and unpolished. Basic brawling mechanics and occasional weapon pickups offer limited depth, and issues like poor hitboxing, AI, and lack of clear tutorials hinder enjoyment. Overall, the gameplay feels inconsistent and in need of refinement.

    • “Otherwise, the combat is fun to engage with, and the overall gameplay loop was quite enjoyable.”
    • “The game is very easy to pick up, as the mechanics and controls are very well laid out and intuitive.”
    • “It has easy controls and smooth gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is very lacklustre, with sloppy controls, hitboxing, AI... it's a mess.”
    • “The gameplay was very clunky and unsatisfying.”
    • “At the time of this writing, the gameplay is unfortunately just too awkward and unpolished to call it that.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its dramatic, retro synthy-techno style that fits the cyberpunk aesthetic and gameplay well, with some users calling it their favorite aspect. However, a few find it harsh or dull, reflecting mixed personal preferences.

    • “The music is very dramatic and cool too, I like it.”
    • “Loved the old school retro soundtrack.”
    • “The music also fits well with the map/setting aesthetics, which appear to be in a near-future cyberpunk version of a big city.”
    • “The music is a bit harsh for my liking.”
    • “Everything is bad or dull so far, including sound effects, character design, models, animations, music, stages, and gameplay.”
    • “The music is repetitive and dull.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is brief and straightforward, fitting the street fighting genre's typical minimal narrative. Players appreciate the short pre-run story segments and the appealing art and cutscenes that enhance character presentation. Overall, while not extensive, the story adds a fun and visually engaging element.

    • “I liked the little story that plays before you start a run.”
    • “I'd say it's a fun game and you can easily see how the story is going to be built.”
    • “The story is brief and to the point, and the game features some cool art and cutscene style imagery with interesting character designs.”

  • character development

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development receives mixed feedback, with praise for the cool, visually appealing character designs and art style, but criticism points to a lack of depth and engaging storytelling. Some users find the characters and presentation interesting, while others feel the overall experience is dull and uninspired.

    • “The story is brief and to-the-point, and the game features some cool art and cutscene style imagery with interesting character designs.”
