What the critics said

  • One reviewer in the magazine called it "the perfect blend of elements from Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat while another declared that in some ways it was even better than Street Fighter II."

    — Electronic Gaming Monthly, 1993

  • In the same issue Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Sega Genesis version average reviews, noting that the game is not a good as the Super NES version and stating that "There aren't many moves and the fighters are unappealing. The game also has a darker look and feel."

    — Electronic Gaming Monthly, 1993

  • Mega magazine gave the Sega Genesis an average review score, criticizing the game's sluggish gameplay and unresponsive controls, stating that "It's an uninspired beat-em-up that's borrowed everything from Street Fighter 2 but the gameplay."
