I am a Valis apologist. I respect what it was trying to do and understand why the series maintained the fandom that it has. However, this game kinda stinks. Sloppy controls, poor hit detection and bosses that feel designed to be cheesed rather than fought with any sort of strategy. Valis was never a top tier franchise by any means but this is weak, even for the standards of the brand. Yuuko is still cute tho.
