    The gameplay is solid action, not quite a fighting game, not quite an RPG, and always an action filled beat 'em up. The slowdown is awful, the pixilation is annoying, but the character designs themselves are fine.

    There's an alarming lack of polish, with characters looking more like rough sketches than finalised art and only boasting a few frames of animation. The storyline is also hard to follow thanks to roughshod translation and there are difficulty spikes to test the patience of any gamer.
