Cool
This game makes me wanna commit seppuku
Great music, cool presentation and an interesting mash-up of indie and stablished IPs. I recommend this game if you have a passing interest in the IP's or puzzle games. I feel some of the characters are unbalanced, but overall the experience is real cool for a casual environment.
decent puzzle fighter variant. there's a lot of modes and unlockables to keep you busy as a solo player, which is nice. the character skills are fun and i don't think they're as unbalanced as other people have said. my only real gripe is i wish that some skills (e.g. astro boy's rotation) didn't completely pause the game while they're active, it is a MAJOR pace killer

They don't even mark which characters you've beaten arcade mode with.
