The verdict
A unique, deep directional-combat PvP game that many love and hate at once. Skip it if you're a newcomer, dislike toxic lobbies and balance swings, or play on Linux/Steam Deck.
Great for
Competitive players who want deep, skill-based melee duelling and can tolerate toxicity and rage
Main risk
Newcomers get crushed by veterans and unbalanced heroes, and Linux/Steam Deck can no longer run it
What changed in the last 30 days
160 recent reviews
Many recent negative reviews say Ubisoft cut Linux/SteamOS support via an anti-cheat update, so the game no longer launches there. Some also mention new ranked mode issues and server disconnects.
