Also, every single character got individual theme made by awesome composer Daisuke Ishiwatari (music is fabulous, owners of the game receive OST in the MP3 format for free, along with other digital extras like gallery of fanarts).
Story

51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Pick your favourite and fight on one of 15 unique, beautifully designed maps, referring to events of the past (you can check out full, interesting and great considered story on Wiki fandom site).

The gameplay is where this game excels though, even if it is a bit outdated.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I suppose if you like animes then you will definitely find the art style appealing.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The roster is big and there is actually different version of each character ranging from alternate styles and even dark and gold editions that completely change how each character can be a new challenge or over all fun.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But beneath that accessibility lies a steep learning curve, one that invites players to dig deep into advanced systems like Faultless Defense, Burst counters, and precise timing for cancels.
