Going into writing my thoughts on this game, I have to remember this is an old game...remade. I'm surprised by how short it was, but I was also very dumb at the start and didn't know you had to equip the sword you got for free.

But as a game, it was short and fairly simple. Fighting via running into your enemies did get a bit of getting used to, and once you get a hang of things, regular enemies aren't too challenging to handle. Bosses, on the other hand, are horrendous in this game. From the phantom who warps around, only giving you a moment to hit him while also avoiding long bars of blue fire to the damn vampire bat who is only able to be hit for a moment before he goes back to his bat phase.

The final boss is also pretty rough too. He's just a bullet hell boss who flies around and can kill you easily with either the vanishing floor or the overload of projectiles flooding the battlefield. He also doesn't appear at all in the flesh until literally the end of the game. We hear about him from a few NPCs, but never actually see him.

I do like some of the characters, though. But I think they've given away too easily the identity of our two blue haired ladies way too quickly when you put two and two together.

I will get around to playing the second game, since it's the second part of this story, but I'm not sure when.
