I like this game, its has a fun interesting story with amusing characters and an art style that reminds me of dragon ball.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
while the characters were flat, at least in combat they were very rather varied. there are many to chose from and most have rather unique fighting styles.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Weird Windows 7 compatibility mode thing aside, you get a fun tower defense-esque musou with nice bright Toriyama art style graphics, a fun cast of characters, and a boatload of content.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game definitely plays a lot better on a controller than it does with a keyboard and mouse so be aware of that going in.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game was a Fond Time definetly worth your money, 60+ Hours of Gameplay, to be fair it can get a bit repetitive but they justify it with multiple playable characters who are all pretty unique.
