So this claims to be a pretty good fighting game, and seems to have gotten the credit for it, but in reality it was pretty poorly done save for the graphics and music. There was a much better fighting game that went under the radar that came out right before this one too, which kinda hurts to see.
So the game is pretty shallow. Every fight ends in the same way with the same strategy. Walk up to an opponent, stun them by spamming attacks over and over until they are in a corner, and then they die. To prevent this you could've added a block or dodge mechanic, or made it possible for the characters to face more than one direction. But this game has none of those essential features.
The art was beautifully done, but that is everything there is to it. It's nice to look at and all, but terrible to play. On top of this, the characters' backstories were as generic as it gets, and you have to wait quite a while for it to cycle through all of them rather than seeing it when you select a character.
The game emphasizes on having 8 characters to play, but there is no variety between them outside of appearance.
