I think the problem is that it is actually deep in some aspects, but the game doesn't challenge you since button mashing does the trick..... although I really dont know whats the difference between regular presses and d-pad + presses. Other than that, I get all the other things. Like if enemies werent so easy, and the special/support attacks werent as spammable, I think it could have been better.
Not gonna lie though. As much as i'm critisizing it. I can see myself enjoying myself through the whole game.
