✦ AI summary
The game features appealing presentation, an anime-inspired story, and diverse characters, but its fighting game mechanics are fundamentally flawed, relying on repetitive one-button combo spam that makes combat feel shallow and skill-less. Players consistently report significant technical issues including broken controller remapping, poor camera and lock-on systems, and various bugs—particularly on Steam Deck—that undermine what could otherwise be a charming experience, though some appreciate the smooth performance and musical score despite these problems.
Kusoge. It was almost good...almost. As you can see from my playtime, I tried. The presentation is all there, it has a deep storyline (if a little cliché) which resembles an anime series of the 2010's, diverse, fun roster, interesting ideas and whatnot, but this isn't a real fighting game. THE GAMEPLAY BOILS DOWN TO ONE GENERIC STUPID ATTACK COMBO. It's just a matter who keeps getting the combo out first, You or the CPU. Let me tell you it's very easy to make the crappy AI into compromising situations where all you essentially is: mash the attack button until you end the chain with an uppercut. To add insult to injury, you can extend the combo by linking a couple of force attacks in between. Also very easy. Ultimately the CPU will fly away to break the chain as to not be an infinite but it doesn't matter anyways. There's ways to get your enemies stuck in a combo loop. Rinse and repeat. Wanna make it easier? Activate your formation. Wanna make it even easier? Active overdrive and/or chain drive. You still don't need all these to win the game, to exploit the AI. it makes it faster though. If you lose then it was a fluke. When you add all the other negatives: Super overcomplicate…2 found this helpful
Just say no. Remapping controls is essentially impossible. I was patient, I found the controller remapping menu in the launcher, and... start was still mapped to left stick press afterward, even though I remapped everything. Watching the game on YouTube, I knew that finding the target lock button was important. So, I found the target lock button! It turns out that target locking only controls your camera. A target lock does not provide any aiming assistance for projectiles or dashing attacks or anything at all. According to Steam, I've spent 20 minutes doing various kinds of troubleshooting and remapping and whatever just to try to make this game work for me. No thank you. This game is just a train wreck. If a player who is patient and curious still can't figure out your game... just say no. Refunded.2 found this helpful

STEAM DECK COMPATABILITY . YES YOU NEED TO REMOVE MOVIE DISPLAY IN THE OPTIONS UNDER VIDEO GRAPHICS. NOW LETS TALK ABOUT THE BUGS AFTER YOU FIX THAT PROBLEM. SO YOUR PLAYING ROULETTE SOMETIMES YOU WILL GET A FULL GAMEPLAY SCREEN OTHER TIME YOU WILL GET JUST A BLACK SCREEN.. OH BUT YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO PLAY JUST BLINDFOLDED. THE GAME PLAYS WELL AND SMOOTH ON THE STEAM DECK THATS GOOD AND ALL BUT THE BUGS EXPLAINED WHY ITS ALWAYS ON SALE. GAMEPLAY .SMOOTH .EASY CONTROLS .EASY TO WIN .ONE BUTTON COMBOS .WORST LOCK ON TARGET .WORST CAMERA CONTROLS .POWER GAUGE BAR .ULTIMATE ATTACKS GRAPHICS .DREAMCAST LVL .SHADOW BLEND IS AWFUL .NO MOUTH MOVEMENT .CHARACTER INTERACTION OVERALL THE GAME IS STILL FUN BESIDES ALL BUGS WHY I HAVE TO GIVE THIS ONE A THUMBS UP. THE DREAMCAST GRAPHICS DONT BOTHER ME MEANING I'M USED TO IT BEING I GREW UP TO THAT TYPE OF GRAPHICS. GAMEPLAY IS DECENT AS AN ARENA FIGHTING GAME LIKE JUMP FORCE OR SAINT SAYIAN ECT. I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS GAME ITS FUN FOR ITS PRICE ESPECIALLY ON SALE FOR A $1.99. JUST DONT EXPECT MUCH BECAUSE ITS JUST BASIC.1 found this helpful
