    If you’re someone who wants more of the fighting aspect of this game rather than focusing on the fact that it’s Hunter x Hunter, I can see why it’s not as enjoyable. Fights are simple at their core, despite there being different attacks you can do. Story Mode had a lot of story. And while it was skippable, I’d often skip it just for a quick fight, before entering another long story-filled chapter. That being said, if you do love the Hunter x Hunter world, this game is a must-play for fans.

    Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact has several good ideas, but very little follow through in catering to diehard fighting game players, new players unfamiliar with the tag-fighter subgenre, or even folks unfamiliar with the franchise. It’s fun yet fluid fighter, don’t get me wrong; only time will tell if it reaches a more fulfilling state in the future.

    Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact tries to stake its claim in the fighting game genre with an accessible system and a visual style that no one expected for this anime. However, its limited roster, brief story mode, and simplified mechanics that sacrifice depth undermine a memorable experience for both anime fans and more demanding players. Despite solid technical performance, its high price and lack of ambition in content put it at a disadvantage compared to much more complete offerings on the market.
