I haven't played this game in ages, but just wanted to mention how even not so long ago we could create female bad-asses without the need to focus on them being female, trying to push some bs agenda.
Bloodrayne, Lara Croft, Chun-Li, Samus, Ellen Ripley, Mulan (original), so on and so on. Women can be actually awesome without any need to prop them up!
As for this game itself, I remember having a good time with it, it's fun old school slashy mess, with an interesting cynical main character, and some silly humour sometimes.
I remember it fondly, but maybe because I was a kid when I played it.
Anyway, would recommend.
