The verdict
A fast anime-styled 3D arena brawler with fun combo combat, but the official servers are gone and almost nobody plays. Skip it unless you can bring friends.
Great for
Nostalgic fans and groups of friends who can set up private matches
Main risk
You can't connect or find anyone to play with because the game is effectively dead
What players love
Fun skill-based combo combat
