The reviews indicate a strong desire for a story mode or character backstories in the game, as many players feel that the absence of a narrative detracts from the overall experience.

Overall, players are enthusiastic about the game's potential but believe that adding a story element would greatly improve it.
“Great beautiful game, but it's missing one thing: a storyline.”
“It's just that the one thing it is missing is a story mode or story for each character... or at least some dialogue. I wish you could add something like that... but in closing... I love this game... especially since fighting games like this on mobile aren't really out there as they should be... and because this isn't like all the others, I think you have a great start.”
“Would like to suggest some characters that can be bought with real money to support the developers and a story mode, which after the character wins, we can see some nice story related to the characters. Highly recommended to all those who love fighting games.”
“Great beautiful game but it's missing one thing: a storyline.”
“The characters need a biography, story mode, and a little refinement.”
“I will give it a three-star rating because the game is fun, but there's no story mode or an online server type thing.”
