I have a soft spot for this PD game, it was my first one.
The execution is kind of all over the place, but I'd love to see a PD game take things form this game again, like the story mode.
If there was a story mode with Extend/F2nd/AFT gameplay I'd lose it.

Just buy A.I.R....
Just get the decompilations for Sonic 1, 2, and CD.
Don't waste your time on this mid ass port.

A very good compilation of the games with 60FPS.
Avoid the PC version unless you're modding it.

It's schlock.
Though, there was fun to be had with abusing the unstable combat mechanics and 100%ing the game.
Though gacha is annoying, and without knowing how to cancel moves the gameplay can be tedious. [However, the gameplay is a mile ahead of Estival Versus because of these cancels.]
Surprisingly decent plot as well. Murasaki best girl she needs a huge hug and some meds.

I have memories of playing this with my brother in hot summer days. 10/10 with bias, objectively though a decent 7/10.
Very surprising writing, and innovative gameplay. The only real flaw is the excessive padding the game's campaign has.

Biggest tragedy in gaming.
Could've been great, but everything went against it.

Terrible port of an amazing game.
Please for the love of all that's good get 7th Heaven and mod in FFnx and 60FPS to play the game properly.
