Great game, oldie but a goodie. Has some awkward translations like many games of that era but is still entertaining regardless, with some great roguelike gameplay. Lots of build customization and min/maxing if that's your jam.

This is an extremely good game, but you need to keep in mind what this game is and what it isn't.

What it is:

• An extremely deep, very balanced fighting game.
  
• Easy to learn, hard to master.
  
• A rewarding make-your-own fighting style experience.

What it isn't:

• A good singleplayer game.
  
• A button masher.
  
• An easy game overall.

At the time of writing there are server issues, but the team at Sloclap has already said there should be a patch out soon for it. Sloclap seems that they have a lot planned for the game, but obviously that is to be seen. One thing that is sorely missing but confirmed before the end of the month is ranked matchmaking.

I see a lot of negative reviews on here raging that they lost or that the game is unbalanced in some way to their detriment. Don't believe them. The combat in this game is polished to a sheen and you will get out of it as much as you put in. If you are not the person who enjoys taking a break from the action to tinker around with your fighting style using all of the new moves you've learned, this might not be the game for you. If you love 1v1 pvp experiences and experimentation, this game is heaven.

The singleplayer experience is obviously not the star of this game. The drop-in drop-out experience can make for some fun times, but it is mostly just a long tutorial for the multiplayer.
