A solid gameplay mechanic, which in all honesty feels like a mix of "Guilty Gear" and "King Of Fighters" (and a bit of "Melty Blood React" mixed in for good measure). Unique sprites and animation help to lift it above the ‘also rans’, and any 2D fighter fan looking for something a bit different to sink their teeth into could do a lot worse. [JPN Import]

The marionette approach to animation, whereby, limbs appeasr superimposed onto torsos, creates an unnecessary visual distinction between player and avatar... It's a constant reminder that you're controlling a puppet; there is no illusion of amalgamation. [May 2005, p.92]
