This is a fun game that is easy to follow with a charming art style. I like playing this game. Why the hell is the hit detection so bad? Like... when an enemy appears, be ready for maybe getting hit a few times because they haven't officially spawned in yet therefore they are invincible for a while. Next.. Animations are fast, you gotta get used to it. Same for enemies clipping into eachother, you can hit both of them but their animations will overlap. If you see an enemy that uses explosives. Be ready to rage because they can hit you outside of the animation and sprite. Sometimes from half the arena away. Also they cannot be blocked, the dodge roll will maybe help. The game is fun and when it works, it works. When it doesn't.. be ready to cheese.
Nice atmosphere, endearing artstyle, story is quite well told, though with perhaps too many predictable tropes. Biggest problem is that Normal Mode is too challenging, and Easy Mode is too, well, easy. Something in the middle would have been nice. Worth it on sale though.
