The gameplay cycle is difficult boss then walking a straight line then fighting another difficult boss and then repeat. It's brief enough that it's not a huge problem but I do wish there was more to it. Maybe platforming in the walking sections? The boss fights, story, and music are clearly the main appeal here. I'm not really a music oriented person but can say if you are you're likely to enjoy this. The boss fights being brutal at times was a bit of a turn off for me but there is a sense of satisfaction upon winning. Unfortunately that was not enough to really connect with me. What did intrigue me was the story. Mainly the part during and after the credits. That was not the direction I was expecting the game to go but it was really neat and made me enjoy the build up more upon looking back.
