  • The gameplay is solid and enjoyable, with mechanics that appeal to fans of classic fighting games, particularly those who appreciate the style of Third Strike.
  • The addition of three new characters and some balance adjustments adds variety to the game, making it a worthy upgrade for dedicated fans.
  • The game runs well on the Steam Deck, providing a portable option for local play, which is a significant improvement over the previous version.
  • The game lacks rollback netcode, which was a promised feature during the crowdfunding campaign, making online play frustrating and unreliable.
  • Many technical issues persist, including an outdated user interface, sound settings that don't function properly, and a general feeling of being stuck in the past.
  • The update feels more like a re-release than a true sequel, with minimal new content and many of the same problems from the previous version remaining unaddressed.
  • gameplay
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is widely praised as excellent and a worthy upgrade, maintaining the fun and mechanics that fans love from the original game. However, the overall experience is marred by significant issues with online play and a perceived lack of innovation after years of development, leading many to recommend it only to die-hard fans. Despite these drawbacks, the core gameplay remains a standout feature that keeps players engaged.

    • “It is a shame because the gameplay is genuinely amazing and there aren't really any modern fighting games that fill this niche.”
    • “I think it's up there with the classics in gameplay.”
    • “And there’s nothing wrong with Yata on a mechanical level; it’s still just as fun as it had been since the previous versions.”
    • “Basically everything except the gameplay sucks and it all is just inexcusable after 7 years of development.”
    • “I love Yata and I really like the dev team's design philosophy when it comes to gameplay, but this is just inexcusably lazy, even if the 3 new characters are impeccably made.”
    • “It's a sequel (or more like a re-release with a few new characters) of my favorite fighting game (mechanically) of all time, but would not recommend the purchase to anyone except super die-hard fans of the existing game, and even that comes with a 'maybe'.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized as both intentionally and unintentionally amusing, with players finding it to be "hilariously bad" or "hilariously sad," suggesting a mix of comedic elements that may not always land as intended.

  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in this game is criticized for lacking originality, with reviewers noting that the character designs are uninspired and fail to offer anything new or engaging.

    • “This game doesn't do anything you haven't seen before; there's nothing unique about it, and its character designs are all bland and boring.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been criticized for not looping properly, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, players have expressed frustration over other technical issues, such as the lack of promised features and poor fullscreen display.

    • “In-game music still doesn't loop properly.”
    • “The game still doesn't have rollback even though they promised it.”
    • “Fullscreen mode still stretches the image and makes it look awful since the game's native aspect ratio is 4:3.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game faces significant stability issues, including a problematic full-screen mode, low resolution despite quality sprite work, and poor net code that complicates setup. Additionally, the absence of promised rollback features from its Kickstarter campaign further detracts from its overall stability.

    • “Disregarding the lack of rollback, which was a Kickstarter promise from 10 years ago, this game suffers from a buggy full-screen mode, low resolution despite the sprite work, and poor net code that is only slightly less of a hassle to set up properly.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is not a primary focus, as reviews emphasize gameplay modes like arcade, training, and versus, along with online options and record tracking. The narrative elements appear to be minimal or secondary to the competitive and training experiences offered.
