The game has created excitement with favorable hands-on feedback, as reported by *Kotaku*. A key takeaway from the impressions was the fight stick&#8217;s design: &#8220;It\u2019s angled upwards towards the back, which allows my wrists to rest in a more natural position than if it were flat,&#8221; a reviewer mentioned.
