March 2025
I have to recommend this game because despite everything it is priced well and I had fun playing it. But I will say that this game is worth its price rather exactly. It is a game with a very solid base gameplay loop, it was fun but everything on top of that feels slightly off. Most of the unlocks are not satisfying to get and usually worse than what you already have. And the game is built on a combo system that does not fully mesh with actual gameplay. In a game where I want to go fast and use stylish abilities I feel as though the combo system is asking me to slowdown so I don't run out enemies and not use cool abilities because they have too much end lag. The game is very simple, and good in it's simplicity but also seems to do too much and too little. If I could leave a mixed review I would.

7.5/10 Full-Fleshed brain-dead entertainment. I say it in a really good way, this kind of experience is really necessary for people like me. When you are tired because of work, college or whatever, and you want to play something that doesn´t require nothing more than pure reflexes and gives you an explosion of dopamine. That's what this game is, at least to me, and I could really appreciate it. It´s like a break for the brain when you want to play but you don´t have the mental energy to commit or engage yourself with a deep-story game.

Girl goes on a suicide mission; gets what she wants. We enter her story on the final chapter. I was left wanting to know more about Akane, about the life she lived that lead her to this ending. Controls felt great, combat was tight, near instant restarts, Music fit the theme perfectly and added to the futuristic ambiance while giving the Player a good rythym to fight to. The difficulty and complexity of the game felt perfect. Incredible game. Worth the full price.
