It was great, except it does suffer from poor connection and matchmaking issues. A variety of features that I and many others feel should be "baseline" seem to be locked behind enormous paywalls, and the character list is sparse at best. However, the game's combat system, graphics, and extra content are quite well done.

One of the most beautiful games ever made, and with an awesome soundtrack and art style. I’m not good enough at the game yet to say how good it is at higher levels, but it’s still really fun for beginners.
