It's so damn good bitchhhh like come onnn
It's greattttt
I think this game's biggest faults(gettin it out of the way Mostly rn) are just that i don't really like the shooting all that much, sometimes its really fun and dodging things and being untouchable is fire... buuuuut other times you can really just be praying to every deity under the sun that shit works right
Sometimes its a pain. Specifically when it centers around it and I think thats why my favorite fights are the ones that just revolve around raw ass beating and not the ones where im dakkadakkadakka and pew pew pewing
Like i was fuckin with Touhou when I was a kid but? this is a 3d arena boss rush game, not a 2d vertical scrolling bullet hell
i mean i guess you oculd say there's bullet hell-esque....type shit in it IDK
the point is that this game's at its best with all that
Even letting you get health back for good parries and when you take the full HP bar of your opponent
The music also goes hard as all hell and the art style is cool asf too, I also went ahead and did that true ending and im not gonna spoil the contents of it in storyyyyyyyyyyyyy
but dick move for making that final phase of five.... FIVE MORE PHASES!! AND SHIT!! LIKE WHAT THE HELL
It got to the point where the final three bosses kind of clicked to me as last tests on your physical capabilities, your understanding of the movement system, and then the shooting system and I think...
I SEE THE VISION... I DO
But the cohesion of the moveset is already there! I wish that was leaned into more with more sword skills but the variety is interesting. I cant really play the other playable character's mode because im a broke ass bitch with no money obviouslyyyyyy
i mean i got this game when it was NEW in 2016
ts been sitting in my library ever since, EIGHT years ago
Only knew there was new content a few weeks ago when I started it and I think thats rlly funny because that new content technically isnt even NEW new since that dropped in 2022
But its a lovely game, I wish there was more boss rush games in the vein of doing shit like this
That repetition of getting better,
untouchable
unbreakable
Increasiing your reaction time and really bein put to the test at the best the game can offer you is real asf
And the story itself is great to me on basis of just it being one of those types of stories that lets You think about it
It doesn't spell everything out to you and I don't think we'll ever fully get it all spelled out for us on what everything meant to all of the characters, what everything meant to everybody in the world and how the projections of the different environments bled through
How each boss persisted even in a world being hollowed
It's beautiful in it's own right, if not a lil sad too
The inbetween sections when you can soak it all in i feel like are really important, because even though this game does feel arcadey in some aspects.. it still plays off of story and subtlety
Its just sometimes you get things like The Burst...
or The Line being kind of awkward..
also this game was never gonna let me live down even the thought of switching to easy mode, so i didnt! i played it all straight up on normal difficulty bc otherwise whos gonna believe me when i say i beat this shit if you couldnt even see my achievements? arguably a more evil trait of the game than anything in the last phase of the true boss
