- “The fighting mechanic definitely needs fine-tuning.”
- “This game is in early access, so they might change a thing or two.”

The story mode is criticized for being limited and lacking depth, with gameplay mechanics that feel unimpactful, making combat frustrating rather than engaging. Players express a desire for additional game modes to enhance the overall experience, as the current focus on training and story feels insufficient.
- “The game is limited to training and the story, but with how light everything is, I mostly just run around hoping for the enemies to trip and die instead of doing that myself.”
- “I can't punch without getting punched; punches don't have any impact. When you are fighting multiple enemies, it's not worth it, and that's a big part of the story mode.”
- “Maybe have more modes; so far, there is only a practice mode and story mode. An arena or tournament mode would be a big welcome for me.”
