Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The good stuff are pretty good tho: The art style evokes heavily of something like guardian heroes on Sega Saturn with 3d backgrounds and 2d sprites, sprite animations are pretty solid for most part, voice acting is great and actually makes you interested in wanting to know more about these characters and setting ( mind you I never played original Slave Zero ), combat is pretty fluid when it clicks, juggling enemies and doing air combos is pretty fun not to mention certain bosses feel absolutely like those fighting game boss characters that have unfair advantage but they are fun in their own ways of trying to out do them.
