What players say
This is where the story truly expands on the world building and character development. While before it felt more all over the place, which many overlapping stories (since each character had their own routes), but now it is more linear and easy to follow. It is larger in scale, but sometimes it can be a bit slow compared to the previous ones. I do miss Kagutsuchi and all it's charming areas and places though. But...
One of the most content-packed anime fighters out there. The roster is huge, every character feels wildly unique, and the combat rewards both flashy offense and deep technical play. Story mode is absurdly long, though you'll need some patience to keep up with all the lore. Still a fantastic pickup if you want a fighter with tons of depth and personality.
I enjoyed the second game more but this is still solid. Although unlike 2, where at the very least 30% of the gags landed, here none of them land just like in 1. At least lichi sensei is still great.
