Aside from the witch-time-esque dodge/block mechanic, this game doesn't do enough with the metroidvania formula established by SOTN. The level design makes traversal a bit of a slog. Regardless it is a fun enough metroidvania, and it doesn't overstay it's welcome. It has nice sprite art and character portraits. The VN elements aren't really noteworthy, being the only part of the game that lacks any polish whatsoever. As for the NSFW content, it's not really my thing, but luckily you can turn them off if you're just interested in playing what amounts to a fairly mediocre metroidvania.
