Cleaning up input system for the combos or 'sequences' helped ALOT with combat feel and cant wait for more updates and patches to the new special moves.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

consider it to be a party game more than anything else. the mechanics are very easy to grasp, easy to learn hard to master, you can get a hang of everything in 15 minutes of messing around, there are no intricate combos to memorize and learn.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 122 sampled reviews raised it
I did also few rounds with AI which is suprisely challenging on hardest difficulty so definitely very good for practice before you go to fight online oponents.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
4 of 122 sampled reviews raised it
Honestly a good game for its price, you can have hours of fun with friends, and even online if you are brave enough.
