The story and characters are pretty alright, very subtle and ambiguous in its story-telling so it’s kinda up to you to fill in the gaps, story however is not the main focus, the shooting and combat in this game is, and it’s downright excellent, easy to understanding and hard to master, and you will NEED to master these skills as the enemies and boss fight are brutal, so many things just happen on screen, and it’s up to you to figure out all the hidden secrets in the stages and uncover the boss’ weak spot, and though the boss maybe very tough, defeating one after several tries feels oddly rewarding and satisfying. Great game.
