How it feels

A fast, competitive 2.5D fighter with technical combos, customizable characters, and a gritty arcade feel.

What players say

Players praise the combo breaker mechanic as a rock-paper-scissors system that adds strategy, and call the game one of the most underrated modern fighters. The free-to-play model with a rotating character roster and crossplay with Xbox is popular, though unlocking the full roster requires a paid edition.
