I was gonna go for a milquetoast 4.5 star rating, but y'know what? I can't think of anything I don't like about this game. The configurable low-fi graphics, the soundtrack, the sound design, the setting, the tone-shifting, the over-the-topness, the sandbox of combos and ridiculous moves you can pull off, the fact that combat in this game feels like you're actually fighting for your life with millisecond precision and timing rather than playing a video game, and all under the fact that this game seems to have been made by a single man, make it legendary and inspirational in my book.

It certainly helped me work through some issues subconsciously after a bad break up last year too.
