A pretty fun little title, if even more of a grindfest than its predecessor.
Gameplay was a bit more exciting to watch - I did see more wins by ring-out rather than running out of stamina, and the special ability did throw in a much-needed element of strategy. HUD did make it a bit difficult to determine who had more stamina at any given time, though, and being able to press space to use special would've been nice.
It was also pretty funny seeing my blade go flying out the stadium after activating its special ability.
Witnessing myself win a round without even touching the other blade was good for a laugh, too.
No "Completionist" medal's a nice bonus - means much less grinding for 100%.
