What players say

83% of 47,677 reviews are positive · 60% of 10 in the last 30 days

Players praise the depth of the melee combat and the chaotic battles. Their main complaint is that too few people remain online to find matches easily while the game is still sold at full price. Some also report players exploiting movement and animations.
