This game feels mediocre at best. Yes, the unique art style helps it stand out, but that's it.. Of course aesthetics are completely subjective thing - some will like it and some not. I don't, but I can definitely see the appeal of the game and also the passion invested in making the game. Sound: Awesome music, fun sound effects with cute little throwbacks to the 1930 animations. It accomplishes what it's trying to do. Difficulty: Youtubers with questionable competence will tell you the game is super hard. It isn't. It's difficulty is adequate. By far not the hardest bullethell out there. If the supposed "very punishing" label slapped on this game is the only thing that stop you from buying it - don't sweat it. You'll be fine. Gameplay; Honestly it's quite dull. Surprising given that the game focuses on boss battles! The enemies (both regular and bosses) have no reaction to your attacks until their HP hit zero. And this is one of the reasons for the combat to be so unsatisfying. Neither platforming levels nor boss battles stand out with anything but the art style. Once you've seen the cute hand drawn world and characters it all boils down to a basic run of the mill bullethell, we've seen a thousand times before and we'll see a thousand times after. Unenjoyable and boring might be strong words. but they are also accurate. Story: Practically none is present, but to be fair none is needed with the specific theme of the game. Replay value: Replayability pretty much doesn't exist here. No reason is given to the player to go back and defeat the bosses again. None. This is my opinion. It is no way universal and I am in no way correct. It's all subjective. BUT please watch some gameplay (don't worry there is nothing to spoil for yourself) and check in your mind if you share any of my thoughts BEFORE BUYING THE GAME.
