    The gameplay features an innovative meter management system that balances offense and defense, preventing the overemphasis on offensive strategies common in many fighters. However, it suffers from limited options and clunky mechanics, drawing unfavorable comparisons to other titles, while offering enjoyable combos and a low price point that enhances its value. Overall, it presents a mixed experience with both strengths and weaknesses.

    • “The game has a cool take on meter management with an offense meter and defense meter that gain separately, with different supers tied to them. This helps avoid the trap most other fighters fall into of overvaluing offense or making the comeback mechanics too powerful.”
    • “Combos are fun and the mechanics are solid. Rollback netcode for under $10 is a steal in today's market.”
    • “The gameplay is engaging and offers a unique blend of strategy and action that keeps you coming back for more.”
    • “The bad: barebones options, gameplay is like an even worse version of Rage of the Dragons/Power Instinct Matrimelee in that it wants to be like KOF, but it feels even more clunky and bad; also, damage is incredibly low.”
