Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
At the time of its release, it stood out among contemporaries like Street Fighter Alpha 3, King of Fighters '98, and Marvel vs Capcom due to its distinctive art style, innovative mechanics, and punishing difficulty.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TL;DR: It was innovative and unique in 1998, with nice visual arts and a nice OST, but the COM rival is frustratingly tricky and unbalanced, so I'll not recommend you to play it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Daisuke Ishiwatari’s compositions leaned heavily into shredding electric guitars, driving percussion, and energetic riffs that matched the intensity of the combat.
