As a refined version of the original Chronophantasma, it brings together everything the series is known for—complex mechanics, dazzling anime-style presentation, and an ambitious narrative that blends science fiction, fantasy, and existential drama.

33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Has a lot of content to offer besides multiplayer (looking at you SFV).

25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The English and Japanese voice acting are equally strong, lending emotional weight to both the story and the in-battle dialogue.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are nice, and the 2D sprites are good, but I feel like they need a little more anti-aliasing to smooth out the outlines a bit.
