Reception
The game has received mixed reviews. Atomix said "the game seems a little lackluster when compared with other great fighting franchises. It is a really good fighting title, but one that will be enjoyed, mostly, by the followers from the original RPG series." Multiplayer.it said that it "delivers an enjoyable beat'em up experience, but lacks the depth of the best 2D fighting games."
