The verdict
A flashy, nostalgic free-to-play anime side-scrolling brawler with fun combat and many characters. Skip it if you want a fair endgame or hate pay-to-win grinds; "No response from server" disconnects block many players.
Great for
Casual players and nostalgic returners who like flashy anime action combat and trying many characters
Main risk
Anti-cheat "no response from server" disconnects, and a pay-to-win grindy endgame
