I wanted to like this so much more than I do. It has the markings of greatness. Hoisting your sword high. Random Japanese kanji accompanied by a skilled charge. Goddamn galactic explosions happening in the background. It should have been cool.

But that's where it fell flat for me. I like absurd, but I don't like complete nonsense, and that's how this felt. None of this makes any contextual sense, nor is it treated like a joke the way MK does some of their fatalities. Also, this game's art style does NOT do its finishers any favors. I can't take a grandiose speech and thrust too seriously when I have to remind myself I'm not playing a Lego game. The marks here show that in most cases, this should have worked. For me, it didn't this time.
