 IGN gave the game a score of 8/10.One of the challenges that the Mane6 developers have stated with getting people to play the game is the stigma of its basis on the "My Little Pony" foundations and association with the brony fandom; however, Mane6 president Aaron Stavely says that once they have been able to get fighting game players to try out the game, they have generally seen them impressed with the game and walk away with positive feedback.
