This is a 2d beat 'em up with a distinct anime art style with hand-drawn characters.
The gameplay is (cliché ahoy) easy to play, yet impossible to master. If you have the training DVD from the special edition, it will give you all the ammunition to compete online with epic combos, cancels and strategies for each character, information which is lucrative to any competitive player. It will take a long time to learn how to properly control each character. Online play definitely needs more people involved as all you have is well seasoned EVO champions or people playing as the protagonist (in all fairness Ragna is one of the most accessible characters, especially for Street Fighter veterans). All in all amazingly deep gameplay but fun to button mash too.
Button mashing is mostly fun because of the flashy graphics. Visually and aurally, you can tell that this game does not just go over the top, it goes over the top and rams its hand-drawn weapons down your throat. Rich colours and interesting characters make it a treat, complemented all the more by the art book in the special edition (bar the risqué pics in the middle few pages, Naughty!). The music has a neo-classical/metal fusion which makes it seem quite dated and the voice-acting is as naff as nearly every game ever made but it makes sense to match the grandiose bombasticness of the game.
If you are a fighting game lover then you should definitely give this a go, it's getting slowly cheaper (lucky for you, unlucky for me), but be quick as this could be another Japanese game that will become a rarity like Tales of Vesperia.
