The game was well recieved in release, with the Playstation 4, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii U and Xbox 360 were praised due to its extreme gameplay, great cast of characters and some bizarre yet funny Mecha action, the music and story, but common criticisms were the lack of secondary playable characters aside of the main seven, and the story has "too much drama", and the Nintendo 3DS and Vita got the weaker in the action parts, but great in the rhythm sections.

The game in Japan will be released only in English with Japanese Subtitles, but the sequel will have a Japanese dub, and also a worldwide dub with many languages to choice both in audio and subtitles. And more improvements. A special Edition was released as the same date as the Arcade Port of Fight it Out. Containing some extras.

Gameplay
The game consist in beat'em Up, hack and slash and action game with some music elements, mainly in the mini games. The most climatic battle themes are overall vocal tracks. The Story is told depending on which protagonist you choose, then a final episode is unlocked when you have all the single episodes ended.

There are Six buttons: Weak (Square, X, Y), Mid (Triangle, Y, X), Strong (Circle, B, A), and Jump (Cross, A, B), Shield (R1, RB, R) and Break (L1, LB, L). In Sienna's case, two other buttons were added. Flying (L2, LT, ZL) and Shooting (R2, RT, ZR).

The Zones are limited exploration, and also where you play as Sienna, you're capable to Fly and shooting in the air.

Also if the "Rocking time" bar (Tension bar in case of Sienna), is full, they will reach a special ability known as "It's Rocking time!" in where the player has to follow a certain series of commands (Sync to the music) when a certain character theme is playing [In the case of Sienna, the Main theme of the game plays and she attacks using her mech or Luke using its ability which is "lighten' up" the enemies.], this is not applied in big bosses battle however, in these cases, is achieved when the boss that they're fighting, has less than 10% of its life bar.

In the portable versions, the cutscenes are replaced by Visual novel-like scenes with renders, this is applied in minor, but in important events will have full cutscenes. Due to limitations.

 * Special 10-song Soundtrack CD with the Battle Cuts.

Reception
These are just Imaginary.

The game got critical acclaim from reviews, especially in the PS4, Wii U, PS3 and X360 versions getting the best scores with: 9.4, 9.1, 9.7, 9.7 respectively (Xbox One got 9.1, PC got 8.9, PS Vita scored an 8.5 and the N3DS an 8.0). With critics praising the story mode, saying that despite being a "fantasy setting with military mecha action and crazy dialogues in-game, it has a message of how valuable is the people, and also, how hard is the life of being a rock star and a fighter rebel for true justice. And the values of family, being the most important in the life of one."

Also its action stages are praised (Especially the Mecha action stages, despite being slower than the "normal" mode), for being crazy, yet bizarre in a context.

However, common criticisms are the lack of alternative playable characters, too dramatic storyline (with a really predictable antagonist to start [Ron]), too difficult to newer players, and the N3DS and Vita got some criticisms for its short length in the missions and dumbed down controls in the action missions, but the rhythm sections and "It's Rockin' time" were praised for using the stylus (screen touch) and alternatively the buttons.

The music got praise that despite some songs being funny and yet ridiculous in a sense, the instrumental and vocal songs during the boss battles and stages were the most liked, and also the character designs were well liked while some of them were repetitive, otherwise, many of them are called "heavy metal inspired" or too much "dark".

The game in other countries recieved a 38 of 40.
