TL:DR- Fine, but clunky game with amazing art. Get it on sale. Preface: I beat the game on hard mode at ~85% total completion. This was a blind playthrough. Pros: * The art, lore, and music are amazing * The game's unique mechanics are very cool thematically, but only mildly fun mechanically * Game length felt fine for the price and the game didn't wear out its welcome. * Level design is... good. Just good. Hidden item placement was very well done, although 100%ing the game without a guide sounds like hell, which I guess is appropriate for these kinds of retro games Mids: * While the different guns you can get are varied enough, I never felt the need to use more than one or two, with only a few enemy types and bosses wanting a specific weapon to kill them quickly/safely. The weapons that have unique mechanics can be useful, but most of them are just "shoot bullets in a different pattern with less dps than the starting weapon". * The controls are... fine. The free aiming system felt very clunky, and there were a lot of times when I was holding down the button and it just wouldn't activate. Maybe a controller problem, but unsure, as I haven't had similar issues in other games. Double tapping a direction to dash feels terrible. * The actual story is pretty minimal and predictable. Perfectly serviceable, but nothing special. Cons: * This game is VERY fond of hidden/offscreen enemies who are basically just there to punk the player, and there aren't quick and painless ways to get rid of them once you know they're there. * This could be a skill issue, but there are a lot of enemies in this game that I simply don't believe can be defeated without taking damage, which turned certain sections into endurance runs more than anything else. * As cool as the bosses are visually, the simple majority of them just kinda suck to fight against. Attack patterns are extremely simple, with most bosses not having more than like 2 or 3 patterns. The vast majority of their bodies are invincible, with fairly obvious weak points. The problem is that actually hitting those weak points can be extremely frustrating without knowing exactly where to stand, as they are often behind/"inside" (in a 2d sense) the bulk of the boss's sprite, and large portions of that bulk block bullets, with seemingly little rhyme or reason to which parts do and which parts don't. This in combination with bosses' natural movements basically turns boss fights into situations where you are just firing dozens of bullets at a weak point and only like 10% actually getting through, which in combination with the bosses large health pools, turns a lot of them into slogs where you are just doing the same thing over and over and over for minutes on end until either the boss dies or you get sloppy and get yourself killed. * The game overall really feels like it's saying "I'm not going to reward you for slow, careful play, but I'm sure as hell going to punish you if you don't play like that", if that makes sense. This is a fine, of course, but I bounced off of it a bit.
I give it a "maybe". This game is not for everyone, especially if you are used to modern metroidvanias that mix Soulslike gameplay with lighter metroidvania exploration (and a lot of QoL). This game definitely draws inspiration from earlier metroidvanias. If you are aiming for a completionist run, prepare plenty of paper so you can note and map out your discoveries, or follow a walkthrough. There are no tools to help you seek what you might have missed, and exploration is very slow, with limited quick travel methods. But if you are simply on the lookout for a unique world to explore, it is a very unique game, with an amazing soundtrack. Just enjoy and do not worry about missing out a few upgrades or weapons!
