Waste of time and money

Hated it. They ruined the franchise. It's not worth even 1 dollar.

Doesn't even work

Even if you do the v-sync thing to fix the invincible enemies, this game still isn't worth playing. Save your time, money and effort.

Garbage

This game shouldn't have seen daylight. I can't even finish the damn game because of botched hitboxes. I don't know what happened with the SoF series. 1st and 2nd game were bloody good games but this, this is just Garbage bag with the SoF name on it.
