Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
34 of 266 sampled reviews raised it
This game is "very Umineko"; it's not simply a "fighting game with Umineko characters", it carries the soul of the source material very well, even within the central mechanic (Meta World; it's like the arguments you'd see in the VN).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 266 sampled reviews raised it
If you like the Umineko series, its story mode will fill your mind.
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
22 of 266 sampled reviews raised it
The game uses rollback netcode and even though is iffy (from looks it seems the dev in charge of it had to rush it without fixing some bugs), it works fine most of the time (of course dont be a degen and paly on wifi AND on a toaster)
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 266 sampled reviews raised it
Fast-paced, with a relatively simple combos system based on a traditional special skills system, coupled with a large roster of characters with very distinctive designs, this fighting game provides a very solid experience.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 266 sampled reviews raised it
This game is full of references from the novels, capturing the best of her original soundtrack and enhancing the visual art.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
5 of 266 sampled reviews raised it
I can guarantee a good time if you play with friends, especially if you play it offline (perhaps at a local or major tournament BYOC).
