HEIHACHI IS NOT DEAD

good game. very fun, dropping negative review until they allow dlc characters in practice mode.

The game is honestly amazing in terms of the gameplay (especially after the 1.05 balance patch), but the main issue with the game is how they handled the monetization. DLC characters were fine because I was only going to play one or two characters so I didn't really mind not owning each character. But there is a big problem, you can't use the DLC characters in training, and you are unable to view the replays of a match against a DLC character (if you don't own the character). You legitimately have to PAY to learn the matchups against these characters, which is honestly disgusting. I don't really care about the tekken coins stuff because all you can do is buy cosmetics with them, so that doesn't really bother me, but it is really scummy to add "V-Bucks" to a $90 CDN game a few months after launch. The game is flawed with a really fun gameplay loop but ruined by terrible monetization choices.
