Game Spark describes the game as a 3D competitive fighting action title and calls the pumpkin headgear an accessory for an autumn festival mood. Minato arrived as a playable character on September 10, a high school girl who fights with dance and copy. Game Spark says she can use the techniques of other fighters through a device developed by NiCO.
