The biggest issue is not in the graphical style, but in its capability. The look of the game is a pretty stellar representation of its source material. Ultraman Nexus does a rather good job of replicating the look of Tokusatsu characters. This means that while the many moves you can pull off feel satisfying to look at, executing them doesn’t give the same sense of satisfaction, resulting in a jarring and negative juxtaposition.

The combat is very basic in design, despite the use of some cool looking special abilities and combos, nothing about the combat system is all that interesting or unique.

Combine this with some heavy moves to be performed both by the player and against them, and some stylishly unique and joyful to behold combos, and you get the combat system of Nexus! The combat is fun to watch and satisfying to pull off, but it does have some issues, primarily in its simplicity.
