The general sentiment towards the game is mostly positive. The visuals and character diversity are particularly appreciated, making it a great entry point for new players to the fighting genre. However, there are some significant concerns regarding balancing and the monetization strategy that players find troubling. Players also express a love-hate relationship with some of the simplified mechanics, which make the game accessible but potentially less rewarding for veterans looking for depth. Overall, the game successfully engages its audience with accessible mechanics and engaging visuals but needs refinement in balancing and monetization.
