13 of 176 sampled reviews raised it
Although simple, the combat mechanics are really enjoyable, with highlight to dodge with iframes and massive kills, but I really recommend a controller.

12 of 176 sampled reviews raised it
Smashing the Battle has good character design and a bit of fanservice but very repetitive gameplay.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 176 sampled reviews raised it
It starts pretty easy and stupid, the difficulty ramps up quite nicely and the last stages had me locked in the zone of situational awareness that few games can pull off right.
