The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.49, set in February 2018. It has been discounted 111 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 85 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Lethal League ($13.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Rivals of Aether ($29.99, scores 54).
Of the 454 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 812 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 10.2 hours; clearing it takes 36, which is 3.5 times the campaign.

What players say
This game needs a new port or remaster or something this game is broken. PC port is trash don't bother.
Unless you can find a way to finagle this game into running properly, it refuses to cooperate on modern hardware. The game itself is great, there's a reason this franchise is beloved in the FGC, but there's also a reason that everyone refuses to play a fighting game at anything less than 60fps and this game refuses to go above 31 for whatever reason. I've tried to run the game in compatibility mode like Reddit...
I don't really like reviewing modern fighters too much because there's two ways to review them: as a game and as a competitive product. And the latter takes a few years to really iron out. And even then, it's superseded by another update of the game, so what you're reviewing gets outdated quickly. Unless it's a general overview of the base systems that carry over, the product always changes. Thankfully (ironically)...
