The story mode is boringly easy to shatter your way through, no single-player play-value except training since story sandbags won't test your skill curve. Roster is meager at best for a fighting game with: surprise surprise! more characters to pay for already announced raising the price of a fighting game not even worth $60 to $100! Honestly this game deserves to die on launch; if mobile games have proven anything if a player throws wads of cash at you they should at least get a bunch of characters, weapons, and skins. But they deliver with minimal content, a border-line meaningless story mode, and and a roster down the line that (for a 2D fighter) is surprisingly sad. Valkyrie Fight Tag was a free fan made fighting game (albeit with pixel graphics) that can offer as much creative gameplay and as many hours of interest than this steamer. If you see any reviews that shed this in a light that's positive then they got their fan-service. But do not mistake this for a 10 star fighting game, no depth of play or unique mechanic can justify an 11 character roster. Especially a 2D fighter produced by a major developer. Beware of this game and any hype surrounding it, but if it piqued your interest (as it did mine) I would recommend waiting for it to go on sale to buy it. Or buy it used. By releasing characters with more interesting costumes and weapons as the DLC the developers should get as little as they can for such a deliberate cash grab. Plus I read the first listed review, it speaks for the game except in it's score. An 8! For a game that all the core parts of it were bad, it's a bad game. Or rather it is a bad price for a $20 game.
