The new weapon and shell are incredibly good and fun to use, to the point where it's honestly quite broken and it makes the game quite easy. If you're struggling, you will enjoy the character and the weapon.
The Virtuous Cycle gamemode is just mediocre, but the achievements make the experience incredibly bad.
These achievements require you to do 90 billion runs (50 minimum, if you want me to be specific and minmaxing) because of RNG and the requirement to unlock skins which ask you to kill 5 of a specific boss (which basically translates to a minimum of 5 runs with that character) and almost every shell has this. Each run lasts for around an hour, even more if you have bad luck. You can get these objectives before the hour (aka kill boss -> leave run) but it is just such a stupid unnecessary drag.
I feel like if they just did the katana + shell then it would be a pretty good DLC, but sadly if you want to get 100% achievements you need to play through the Virtuous Cycle gamemode a lot, and it just sucks.
