Batshit nutty
Rolling little dudes, army dudes with guns, ninja dudes sprinting in from offscreen, so many birds and bats, witches throwing sticks, zombies, everything you'd expect from a ninja game.

Moving and attacking feels real good when youre not sticking to walls and dudes arent respawning as soon as they die. Its very easy to get knocked off a platform and die to enemies you dont have time to respond to so you often just need to know whats coming ahead of time.

Its kind of a relief getting to the bosses because theyre generally easier than anything you'll face in the levels. The two bosses before the final one are pretty insane though and I don't know how you'd get through them legitimately. You definitely feel some of those dark soulsy relief/triumph feelings when you beat levels and the cutscenes were a strong motivation to keep going, theres some really cool art in them.

I don't know why i wanted to play this but its not too long and I'm glad i finished it (using savestates ofc) even if i can't really imagine the kind of person I'd recommend this to
