At first, the game looks impressive and does a great job of making you feel excited. The visuals are flashy and seeing so many anime characters together is cool. Unfortunately, after a few matches, the gameplay starts to feel extremely basic.

Most characters only have a handful of attacks and a single ultimate move, which makes fights repetitive very quickly. The biggest problem is the blocking system. Blocking has almost no real limitation, so players can keep holding the block button and shut down nearly everything. This becomes especially noticeable against real players.

Ultimate attacks are also poorly designed. They have a long animation before the attack actually happens, giving your opponent plenty of time to react. In PvP, landing an ultimate against a competent player is almost impossible because they can simply start blocking during the animation and negate the entire move.

The game looks great, but once the visual spectacle wears off, the combat lacks depth and becomes repetitive. I wanted to like it more, but the gameplay just wasn’t enough to keep me interested.
