Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Comparatively to most other games of the genre where you have an upfront price tag on the game title ON TOP of having to spend money to unlock characters or cosmetics, I feel that a free to play system where you can earn characters by playing feels much more rewarding.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
-Ever since I started playing this game, I've had this nagging feeling that this game's been prioritizing graphics, character designs and churning out new events (and, more recently, crossovers too) all the time over actually improving their game from a gameplay standpoint.

The game has seen a lot of new content since then, the co-op mode's been thriving to the point of completely eclipsing the normal mode in popularity.
