    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its fun mechanics and potential for mastery, while others criticize it for being simplistic and repetitive. Many noted issues such as bugs, lack of content, and a slow pace that detracts from the overall experience. Despite its well-designed core mechanics and appealing visuals, the game struggles with variety and depth, making it more suitable for local multiplayer rather than a robust online experience.

    • “Mechanically speaking, this game is fun as hell.”
    • “The mechanics are simultaneously easy to learn while complex to master.”
    • “Addicting gameplay and gorgeous pixel art graphics.”
    • “Since the gameplay is not something to hook you in, there's nothing in the game to make you want to continue playing it after the 10 or 15 minutes you spend with it.”
    • “There is really not much mechanic-wise to master, so it feels like you know how the game will feel for the next 10 hours after 10 minutes of playing.”
    • “The gameplay suffers from small bugs and glitches that can sometimes decide the outcome of the match.”
  • graphics
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their charming retro pixel art style, which features breathtaking visuals and unique designs for different stages. While the overall aesthetic is considered fun and well-crafted, some users noted that the gameplay mechanics can make aiming challenging. Overall, the visuals contribute significantly to the game's appeal, enhancing the engaging and addictive gameplay experience.

    • “It has a very well-crafted art style, fun mechanics, and acceptable gameplay.”
    • “Very well done graphics and mechanics that are also easy to learn.”

    • “The graphical style is pixel art.”

  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is a mixed bag; while each character has a unique mini-campaign that provides some backstory and motivation for their fights, the overall execution is criticized for being mediocre and lacking depth. Many players find the single-player campaign to be a series of uninspired matches with minimal narrative engagement, and the dialogue is often described as poor and reminiscent of dubbed anime. Despite these shortcomings, the visual presentation and character-specific plots offer some redeeming qualities.

    • “On the positive side, the game looks fantastic and the campaign mode offers an interesting plot for each of the fighters.”
    • “Each campaign provides the back story of each character and their motivations for fighting.”
    • “The story of each mini-campaign is great and provides motivation as to why each fighter decides to go on their homicidal journey.”
    • “You cannot even enjoy the single player campaign mode, as it's just a series of quick matches with AI, decorated with some fantasy story texts and uninspired in-game dialogues.”
    • “The 'campaign' barely had a story.”
    • “That isn’t why someone gets a fighting game or a dodgeball deathmatch game, but if you’re going to include bad dialogue and a bad story, I’m going to comment on it.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, described as exciting and fitting for tense matches, though some users noted a lack of diversity. It complements the action-packed gameplay and retro-style visuals, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience. The soundtrack is considered fun and enhances the game's atmosphere.

    • “Easy to pick up, takes time to master, fun soundtrack and art style.”
    • “Fun, precise combat, diverse character cast, strong visuals, fun soundtrack.”
    • “The music is okay.”
    • “The music didn't seem diverse but was a suitably exciting accompaniment to tense matches.”
  • stability

    The humor in the game is appreciated by players, particularly those who enjoy classic arcade-style gameplay, though they suggest that adding more comedic elements, such as taunts, would enhance the experience. Overall, the game is seen as entertaining, with room for improvement in its humorous content.
