How it feels

A straightforward, pixel-art 2D fighter with a classic arcade feel and a focus on competitive play.

What players say

Players say this is effectively a minor update to a decade-old indie fighter, selling as a new game for full price. The core gameplay is praised, but consensus is that the lack of rollback netcode and other technical flaws make it unplayable online. Controller binding problems and a barebones menu system add to the frustration, though a few fans enjoy it locally.
