It's a PS1 game that plays similar to Gunstar Heroes except it has a bit of a Ikuruga mechanic where the character switches colors and their abilities only work on certain enemies. It's pretty quirky and difficult if you're not used to old side-scroller style arcade games.

Imagine a quirky fighting game where all the characters were just anime cliches and tropes duking it out and you basically have this game in a nutshell. It's pretty simplistic for a fighter but has a unique combat mechanic where characters use special powers to fire projectiles and do throws across the room from the opponent.

Most people who grew up in the PS1 era probably remember Parappa the Rapper, and they may even remember that it got a sequel on the PS2.

The music is fun the gameplay is an improvement over Parrapa and it's quirky as all hell.
