So here's the thing. I really enjoyed this game, and it's an extremely fun and solid fighter. I'm looking forward to the sequel soon. But you may be asking "If you liked it, why only 2.5 stars?"

Well, the game retailed for $49.99 and came with basically everything you expect from a fighting game. Story mode, arcade towers, versus, and a few other bells and whistles.

However, it also released with a roster of 12 characters. Now, this wouldn't be a problem IF the DLC didn't add 13 more for more than the games original retail price all together. And the major issue is that every character who is DLC is on the cover. You expect them to be in the game. But they aren't unless you buy them. It feels exceedingly scummy.

It's one of the most fun 2D fighters I've played, but the monetization is outright heinous.
