The game's graphics have received widespread praise for their vibrant retro style, featuring stunning pixel art, bold colors, and fluid animations that evoke nostalgia for classic beat 'em ups. Reviewers highlight the atmospheric visuals and character designs as standout elements, although some note that the focus on retro aesthetics may limit broader appeal. Overall, the graphics are considered a major strength, enhancing the game's charm and gameplay experience.
- “Gorgeous graphics, fluid gameplay, very atmospheric.”
- “The graphics have a cool comic book style with very bright colors and some fantastic pixel art in the cutscenes.”
- “The visuals are bold, with excellent character and stage design.”
- “I love retro visuals and audio, but developing a game for original retro console hardware just panders to the elite retro game collectors who still have these consoles on hand, of which I imagine there are very few.”
- “All of this effort was invested to pander to such an ultra-specific niche, which is charming on one hand, but I also see it as the developers unnecessarily limiting themselves in the visuals, audio, and storage departments.”
- “If you are a more casual fan of the genre or are drawn to the game because of its art style, wait for a sale and pick it up then.”

- “None of the music really hit for me.”

The gameplay is characterized by its fluid mechanics and diverse character styles, offering a mix of long-range attacks, grappling, and speed-based combos, which introduces a fresh risk/reward system. While the visuals and audio enhance the experience, some players feel limited by the defensive options available, particularly the underwhelming throwing mechanic. Overall, the game successfully blends classic beat 'em up elements with modern depth, providing a solid and replayable experience.
- “Gorgeous graphics, fluid gameplay, very atmospheric.”
- “I also like how the three characters are for the most part three different gameplay styles (long range attacks, grappler, and speed + combos) and how the devs tried to avoid clichés of the genre and do something new and fresh: for example, using the 'desperation moves' does drain your lifebar, but you can get the energy back by pounding enemies as soon as you can, provided they don't hit you first, so also applying to the gameplay a nice risk/reward mechanic.”
- “I really don't know why I feel that way. I am watching the trailers while writing this, and it feels like I should love the gameplay, yet it just doesn't click with me.”
- “The bad: only one character can throw, making for rather underwhelming defensive maneuvers overall without an integral beat 'em up mechanic, and even then, throwing isn't quite nearly as satisfying as other beat 'em ups.”
- “Gameplay is very 'pick-up-and-play', but there is always quite the variety of combos you can do.”
replayability

While the game excels in its presentation and character diversity, offering a unique experience with each character, it suffers from limited enemy variety and lacks additional modes, which diminishes overall replayability. Players may find themselves replaying to achieve a one-credit clear with each character, but the absence of more substantial content could hinder long-term engagement.
- “All the characters feel pretty different, which really enhances the replayability.”
- “The game offers multiple paths and choices, making each playthrough feel unique and encouraging replayability.”
- “With various difficulty levels and unlockable content, there's always a reason to dive back in for another round.”
- “The game could use some more modes to increase replayability and longevity, but what the game does it does extremely well in a very tight package.”
- “Graphics have a cool comic book style with very bright colors and some fantastic pixel art in the cutscenes, the soundtrack is good too (especially the melancholic stage 3 theme)... if I had to find problems, they would be that there's just a few enemy types (though some head swaps have different attacks) and there's not much replayability besides trying to reach 1cc with every character.”
- “All the characters feel pretty different so it really gives you a lot of replayability.”
