👍 Strengths

Content Volume ranks 37th of 1351 and Gameplay ranks 118th of 1396. 148 reviews enjoy it as a great little game, the most upvoted after early doubts. 18 enjoy the strategic choice of three fighting styles with their own development paths, and 17 find progression full of rewarding unlocks. Pricing & Fairness ranks 36th of 1399, with reviews calling supporter packs fair and not pay to win. Others credit a developer who listens closely, and Tech & Support ranks 32nd of 1399.

👎 Where it falls short

Complaints are few. 22 reviews say the learning curve starts steep with many menus and mechanics. 17 criticize the DLC pricing, the most upvoted put off by paid add-ons that boost offline time. 7 want more freedom, the most upvoted finding the task system rigid with character placement left to chance. A few mention buggy avatar features, and others dislike how little direct control the idle format gives. Multiplayer ranks 29th of 642, and Visuals & Sound ranks 857th of 1249.
