The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some users finding it fun and engaging despite its shortcomings, such as lack of a ground game and counter-striking mechanics. While the graphics and mechanics are considered decent for a low-cost title, many feel that the overall gameplay experience falls short of expectations, especially compared to other MMA games on PC. The controller is noted to be effective for gameplay but cumbersome for menu navigation.
