Language and voice customization options are really good and so are the palette swaps for each characters which sometimes even change their voicelines or taunts.

Story mode covers a pretty cool plot, each character's story really helps to flesh them out and make them feel a bit more alive.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The positives would be, a very well-done artstyle with beautiful background scenary and character design (They are showing a bit too much tho), the overall aesthetic is very nice trying to go for a vintage/noir style.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Example: I spent $15 on this game, I have well over 200 cumulative hours (Though I'm still considered "medium" when it comes to collective playtime.) + Great Soundtrack
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a variety of difficulty options available, making it accessible to both beginner and hardcore players.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A great fighter; perfect for girls & gays that has a lot of content to offer with hand animated visuals, 4 DLC characters & full campaigns for every character, reccomend buying on sale though just because of the cost of fighting games always being stupidly high.
