It has potential but the character graphics need an overhaul. Too bulky (Blue suit), extremely distracting, gameplay is very vanilla and extremely repetitive. Like mentioned, no threats, just punching bags. The fighting system is like a combo of Sengoku 3+Rage of the Dragons. I'm not sure if that sword attack is a special attack but I'd change it to a full screen attack and put more enemies on the screen as well with varying health levels.

I always assume we're seeing the game in at least an alpha state where it's too late and they aren't going to make significant changes like this regardless of feedback.

I still remember when NGDEV introduced the mask system for Kraut Buster after lackluster feedback, so wild, so random.

The weird character design wouldn't be bad if it were well animated, but it isn't.

Battle Axe looks nice in screenshots but the gameplay is a bit bland in my opinion. It is passable but not overly impressive.

Be very careful!! Joined the discord and asked a question requesting more info about the game plus some more videos as there's virtually nothing searchable online and they kicked me out of the discord!!

I joined the discord asking for more info and videos related to the game and got kicked. Seems really suspect if you ask me, can you shed some light on this please? Also some more videos of the gameplay would maybe help people decide on whether to preorder or not (this is literally what I asked on the discord so no idea why I was removed).

That is quite worriesome. I wouldn’t preorder any of the neo titles if i wasn’t able to play/test beforehand

100% this. Honestly when I see or read about a new Neo*Geo game I just can't find myself to give a shit anymore.

The only light we can shed is to tell you (and everyone else here) not to buy it.
Never buy anything from anyone that censors or deters negative feedback or criticism.

Why kick someone off their Discord for asking questions if they have nothing to hide?

It's hard to launch a new BTU type game when there is so much competition in the same time window (cf Final Vendetta, Vengeance Hunters).
I think it's going to be hard to do as well as these two. Vengeance Hunters sets the bar pretty high...
Maybe indie devs should vary the type of games a bit.

Yes - and especially for the Neo-Geo, I feel modern-retro devs get stuck on the idea that "it's arcade hardware so we must make rehashes of old arcade games, right!?" I get that's a tall ask from somebody who knows nothing about coding but I'd love to see more underrepresented genres on the hardware.
Besides, just about every indy game that comes out on the Neo these days eventually gets a release on other platforms, or the other way round in most cases, in order to recoup development costs and reach a broader audience.
Gunlord was a step in the right direction for some variety on the platform, but even that's probably considered "retro" now and the critical update to the game (Gunlord X) was released on everything else but the Neo.
