Well, it plays like well for what you could call a "for the fans" game. You level up individual characters, use their skills just like in the battles in other games... The story mode is original and places them all in one world with different backgrounds, so you don't necessarily need to know all the characters and such.

The only thing I don't particularly like is how the stages have so many platforms. x_x It's especially trying when the CPU enemy knows how to maneuver the map and bash the living daylights out of you.
