As I came off a lengthy and trying experience with From Soft's Sekiro, I realized how much I came to love very precise and demanding action combat. Time passed and my longing for something Sekiro-like grew. It didn't take long for me to remember about this little gem that I had initially passed up on.

Furi's combination of a bullet-hell and intense sword-play is definitely a unique one. I hesitate to consider the two a marriage since the bullet-hell aspect is very much removed from the closer swordplay, especially with one of the jailers. As my little preamble stated, I was longing for this more intense swordplay and this title certainly delivered. I personally was not such a big fan of the bullet-hell aspect but that's just how I feel.

The music is also something phenomenal. I was excited going in since I do enjoy this kind of deep-synth music but I wasn't exactly aware of how much of a treat it was going to be. I don't think that listening to the soundtrack outside of the game does it much service either. Not because the songs are weak but because they are heightened with the intensity that this game provides.

Trying to rate this game was a little difficult since it's not one that's held a place in my mind for very long, maybe due to it's short length. Regardless, it's still a fantastic experience that I think anyone who enjoys tough games would love.
