a lot more frustrating than the first game. the arena is absolute shit and every enemy is just a combination of karasawa, moonlight, and human plus. on top of this, the final boss is so tanky for normal weapons, making it near impossible to beat him, but dies in about 20 shots to arm cannons. thankfully it's not too long, if you ignore the arena mode, and it only took a little over an hour to beat, while the arena mode maybe took around two hours. on the upside, it did make me experiment with different builds, which was fun, but then i used the build to fight in the arena and the fun was mostly sucked out
