What players say

Pretty fun 2d fighter. Just a shame that Baiken doesn't make an appearance until the next "installment". Character unlocks on the store are completely optional as they can be purchased in-game, but it'll take a long time because they aren't cheap, and the arcade modes / etc. only give you a couple thousand credits after game over. Awesome game regardless.
