It's fairly challenging without frustratingly difficult sections, like Commandos could sometimes throw up. The controls are solid and responsive. The story works well, and the consistently great art style fits the Edo setting. Music and voice acting (English version played) are also top notch. Quick save/load are fast, and you will need them. A big deal was made of save games not being compatible between updates, but this only affects in-mission saves. Your progress is not lost, and you're just told to restart the current mission. In doubt? Try the demo.
