Alisia Dragoon is a really fun title. I'm surprised it took me so long to try this one. I think I tried it once but didn't feel like finishing it but playing it now I can't see why. It's very interesting action game.

You can control this lightning that targets enemies and also has a meter for how much you can use it. You even have these monster companions that all have their uses. I like to use the one that has the screen flash the most. Though don't think it'll be easy as many enemies will come after you.

The level design for the most part is fun to me though there can be times where the enemy placement can be obnoxious. Later bosses can also be too much of damage sponges, to the point I was wondering if I was doing something wrong. It's not all bad though and it can feel satisfying once you got a pattern down. Though unfortunately you have limited continues which is LAME!

The game itself looks pretty nice and I really like the design of the main character herself. The monsters also look good too. Apparently Gainax worked on this? I assume its for the art used? Interesting to see seeing as they made some anime like the Re: Cutie Honey OVA. The music is also really good and I'll probably listen to it on its own sometime.

Overall it's a game you should give a try and you actually can thanks to it being on the Mega Drive Mini and even on NSO though behind a $50 paywall...damn you Nintendo. Sadly getting an actual cartridge for this is expensive nowadays. So if you want to use an emulator I won't judge. Hope you enjoy this awesome action game like I did!
