What players say

80% of 113,270 reviews are positive · 72% of 97 in the last 30 days

Players praise the melee system's control, timing, feints, footwork, and room for mastery. The most common complaint is a small, veteran-heavy player base that can make servers hard to fill in some regions. Players also criticize infrequent updates, while several experienced players report cheating and weak moderation.
