I had wanted to play this for a while for the same reason I had wanted to watch the anime for a while, and stopped putting off both finally. The OVA was good but very generic for the genre, so I was expecting this to be similar but they actually had some stuff going on here. It’s for the most part very similar to every Metroidvania you’ve played but the dual element mechanic was very interesting and they found cool ways to design multiple boss fights around them. Speaking of bosses, they were mostly well designed and even the harder ones kept me coming. Except for the final boss and penultimate boss rush, whoever designed those is evil.

(Also the spritework was gorgeous and the music was incredible I will be listening to the OST now)
