What players say
A true hidden gem of a fighting game, recommending with only praise to give. Lovely to the eyes, super satisfying sound effects, good music, lobby system that works and great netcode (NA East-Hawaii was very playable). The main attraction is definitely the gameplay though, the low amount of moves per character betrays deep mindgames and satisfying conclusions for every interaction. Its just so fun man!!! PLEASE do...
1 more review, not recommended
Game itself is fun but it has a lot of outside problems, like player 2 in online using player 1's button config for keyboard. The core game itself is great tho so if this game ever gets polished up, I'd easily recommend it.
