Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
game has fair bit of replayability. i think u could easily squeeze out at least 20 hours out of this if u want to beat higher difficulties, which seem fun and might let u understand the story more on subsuqent runs. there are cool upgrades to unlock post game. and some cool side content, challenges etc. also has a 3d dating/simping mode.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
combat is fun and spammy. rather lacking in combo variety but it works and looks cool. very button mashy. visually styliiiiiiiish
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
graphics/ and style of the game are great but stylized shading that the game uses often looks just... broken, like it has wrong contrast or smth and its hard to see ♥♥♥♥ at many ocassions.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters (their dialogues) can be pretty silly - using Japanese voice acting is mandatory for proper immersion.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Quick time evens, contests of strengh in boss parries, CPR mushing on revives, ability usage, there is a lot of qte and they are really hard on the normal difficulty-Beating the final level of item smashing on Mortal Kombat XL destruction tower- hard.
