I just spent the past 2 days playing only this game, I platinumed it and now I honestly doubt I'm ever going to play it again because it's fundamentally a broken game that subscribes to a pay to win mind-set as well. Which is a shame because there's a lot of cool ideas in this game.
It's basically a battle royale with focus on martial arts attacks in a cross between a Souls-like syle combat and a fighting game with combos and heavy emphasis on juggling your opponents, there's even MOBA like elements where you fight normal AI mobs and bosses to level up while you're looking for real human players, but the animations are super slow and clunky and the hitboxes coupled with the online latency makes Dark Souls 2 seem fair, plus many characters are just downright useless and completely outclassed by others, even if you have better gear and are a higher level if you go against a Wu Kong, Dalgi, Sandy or Momo (Funny enough all characters you have to 'unlock' and don't start with from the start) you're probably going to lose simply because their abilities are just so broken, the game can even be heavily exploited by getting enemies into an infinite juggle combo where once they are in the air they can't break free.
Needless to say the game is horribly balanced and the fact almost everyone online plays just these characters can make most matches like 20% skill and 80% luck and who can be the cheapest quicker than everyone else. Sad because I did have a lot of fun when I first started playing, but the longer I played the more I realized it's a mess of a game
