Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
43 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
Every character is their own world, with their own mobility, special attacks, grabs and such, which greatly enhances replayability since every one of them is such a different experience.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
31 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
Couple that with how unique each character plays, you'll be handling different enemies and by extension the fights in different ways as you play through the roster.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
All in all, this is a great choice for anyone interested in classic, arcade-style 2D action, with unmatched pixel art visuals, excellent OST and deceptively simple gameplay that lends to skillful play once you master it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are gorgeous, three different soundtracks to use which are all excellent, and an extremely well paced, well designed action game from beginning to end.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
The new characters are fun, if maybe a bit hard to actually play in the game, especially with the increased difficulty this game has over the original.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
19 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op mode (Best new feature) You share the same life bar and battery bar so don't be selfish.
