what a mixed bag this was
i absolutely love the char design and the parry system was implemented so well it made each parry feel so impactful
most of the boss phases were quite fun, however there were a couple really bad ones in there that drag the experience down a lot.
Sadly the last lives often felt like random bullshit instead of challennging pattern
that resulted in repeating previous phases a lot more than necessary and they dragged on quite a bit in some cases
all in all a fun game that lacks a bit of polish
