The game offers a fun and unique combat system that is easy to learn but hard to master, making it enjoyable for both casual and competitive play.
The vibrant art style and humorous character designs add to the game's charm, creating a lighthearted atmosphere that is perfect for playing with friends.
Despite its simplicity, the game has a surprising depth and replayability, especially when playing against friends or in local multiplayer.

The controls are clunky and not intuitive, especially for keyboard and mouse users, which can lead to a frustrating gameplay experience.
Many characters are locked behind paid DLC, which feels like a cash grab and limits the content available in the base game.
The game lacks a robust online community and matchmaking system, making it difficult to find players for multiplayer matches.
