This game is like a late 90's rule of cool Anime OVA with that sick aesthetic by the creator of Trigun and that badass jazzy music.
However it comes with a price, also just like a late 90's OVA, it is very underwhelming in its short duration and can't manage to explore its themes and story of two criminal partners who had a dream to reach the highest position in the criminal world, and the protagonist being like a reanimated corpse who is only made to kill everyone in his way to have revenge. I feel there's some commentary about corrupted ambitions but instead, the game indulges in bizarre boss encounters that feel out of place when they could have had more personal battles (like the one near the end with the protagonist's previous apprentice).
I hope the 2003 anime TV series can fully explore the themes
