Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
There's a decent amount of characters and they play differently from each other, a nice variety of stages (standard tournament layouts and non traditional stages), and a nice tutorial /very small single player mode you can go through to get used to the mechanics.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
After the variety of weird attempts to get Icons: Combat Arena off the ground and ultimately botching several releases, I was actually very excited to play Rushdown Revolt, which is effectively a soft reboot and second attempt at launching this IP.
