Other than that, players can dash, dodge and block.

Each Rider’s arsenal contains normal attacks, three special and two super moves. There are chainable combos, and each character has their own unique learning curve. Otherwise, the controls are fairly straightforward. Alas, there’s not much depth to it, and comes across as a stripped down version of Injustice’s character interactivity. However, a big drawback is that there isn’t anyone to play with – or rather waiting to connect to the few players that are online can take a while, because there aren’t many of them in SEA.įans will enjoy the dialogue that happens between the different Riders when they interact with each other during cutscenes. Taking on other players in the Online mode is pretty straightforward, and when you get to connect to other players, the experience is pretty smooth.

But the lack of individual Rider stories makes the gameplay a bit bland and repetitive after awhile, even with the different ‘mission’ objectives. It’s an interesting way to be ‘forced’ to explore Riders you would normally not choose. There’s no overarching storyline, or any in-depth character interactions. You can equip the masks and belts to your online avatar, to give it a unique look but other than that, there’s no real point in playing the Mission mode. It automatically assigns the Rider to the player, which is where the role-playing aspect of the game comes into play.Ĭompleting each mission rewards you with prizes, such as masks styled after a Kamen Rider helmets, Rider belts and posters you can use to decorate your ‘room’. In Mission mode, each ‘mission’ comes with multiple stages of different levels difficulty, as well as short stories that explain why the Riders are taking each other on. There’s also a very in-depth tutorial mode that teaches you everything you need to know about the game, from basic movement, to how to activate your special moves and ‘Evolution’, which unlocks your ultimate Rider form.

Mission is a simple VS Computer mode with no real story. Free Battle is a great party game option as it allows 2-4 players to battle at one time, while Online allows you to set up or join a room to take on other players in a 1V1, 2V2, or battle royale game on the server. There are three different ways to play the game: Free Battle (local multiplayer), Mission mode or Online (server multiplayer). Hopefully, the older Riders will be available as DLC content in the future. The exclusion of Showa Riders may be a bit of a turn off for long-time fans or those who love the classics, but it’s negligible for new age fans.
