Overview

  • Nen × Impact represents the franchise’s inaugural pure fighting game, developed by Marvel vs. Capcom 3 veteran studio Eighting and published by Bushiroad Games
  • The title employs a 3v3 tag-team combat system in a 2.5D plane, delivering straightforward controls and a stable framerate that mirrors the anime’s art style
  • Launch lineup includes 16 playable fighters and minimal solo content, featuring a basic arcade mode, survival challenges and a condensed story mode constructed from anime stills
  • Critics argue the premium price point is disproportionate to the game’s limited modes and character roster depth
  • Despite a promised rollback netcode implementation, players report frequent lag, connection drops and unstable online matches
