The game is a mix of wasted potential and good ideas.

The visual and technical side of the story is its weakest point. Watching the anime recreated in 3D with stiff animations, lifeless expressions, and several cuts compared to the original work gets tiring even after many hours of campaign (at some point you start to care less, but it’s still bad), especially since the game tries to keep you engaged with cutscenes that don’t have the same impact as the anime. The number of playable characters is also disappointing due to the absence of obvious names, like several captains, visoreds and espadas which always leaves you thinking, “even if I wouldn’t play them, it would be cool to fight against them”

Another major issue is the structure outside of combat. The online is empty, and the lack of basic features like Steam Remote Play Together hurts replayability, since it forces everyone to buy the game individually to play together.

On the other hand, the combat itself is quite fun, unlike most 3D arena fighters, strategy matters more here. The pacing is slower and more deliberate, meaning a wrong decision is punished. The game’s biggest strength is each character’s identity, like Aizen actually uses illusions, Tosen’s Bankai creates a real visual disadvantage for the opponent, and Ichigo's Vasto Lorde transformation being triggered by losing the fight.

In the end, it’s a game with cool combat mechanics but that falls short in almost everything else as a complete game. It’s worth it for the unique gameplay, but ultimately it’s a game mainly for Bleach fans


p.s. even though it runs on the Steam Deck, it’s extremely demanding and drains the battery

This is a fun game. 8/10

Although there are some problems like very long cutsceens, lack of some popular characters or even some minor problems with balance, the game doesn't get draged down because of these flaws

Each character plays in a unique way and each character had something fun

The online is great it takes seconds to find an opponent and the character vareity is good for the bunch of matches I've been playing never got someone to rage quit on me.

The story mod might not be for everyone and some characters can look uncanny but they adapt the story well

would like to see season two of dlc thought
