Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of all these, the gameplay is really fast and fun, and you don't need a ton of fighting game knowledge to enjoy it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Admittedly, the game looks good enough, with smooth visuals, but I find the fan service and sexiness more a detraction than a positive.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You will want to play around with the roster and find a character that's best for you (obviously), as the characters are really well diversified (I personally found Eri to be good for me - speedy punchy!) The music is fun to listen to, and the artstyle is cute (I really like the super/win screen animations).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The "story" mode (basically an arcade mode) scales in difficulty nicely, and the final boss, while I beat it on my first try, definitely had me going for a little bit.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are a variety of attacks in the game, and the accompanying sound effects for them sounded fitting, such as Luna firing her guns.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A fun little trick is, if you have your super meter full, is to parry your opponent and go straight into a super - super satisfying!
