This game is an absolute must-buy for fans of fighting games and even those with a mild interest in the genre. The character design and art style are this game's strongest points. Each character has its roots in the archetypes of the genre, but manage to bring a unique and innovative twist to what you would expect. Little touches, such as the dead bodies of the characters that have been defeated in 2v2 or 3v3 matches, make this game truly stand out. Those who love Marvel vs Capcom 2 will feel right at home in the gameplay, which is incredibly tight and responsive. However, stylistically, this game feels more like an entry in the Darkstalkers franchise because of the imagination and tone of the characters. Indeed, if Capcom had any sense, they would have reached out to Lab Zero to make a new Darkstalkers game, because it would be phenomenal.
Even for those who are lukewarm or the genre or lack confidence, the tutorial system is second to none and will quickly teach you the mechanics of the game and the strategies of the genre.
I cannot recommend this game strongly enough, as someone who spends a lot of time playing 90s Capcom fighting games on MAME, I can confidently say that this is my favorite 2D fighting game of all time.
