Okay, real review time.
This is a small DLC but I quite liked the additional elements it added. They're quirky and novel and add some variety to the game without making any of the existing weapons irrelevant. The Babi-Onna character and her mirage robe were particularly entertaining with her weaponized flash frames.
The new map is an interesting new direction for the game in that it's a fully defined area and not just an endless chain of templates. I would love to see more content like this in the future, though the Arcana that pulls map items to you should probably be disabled until you actually pick up the new items, or new items should be excluded from its effect. That way you can't cheese around some of the zone specific obstacles that are featured.
The Japanese mythology theme is also a fun change of pace and the sprites are quite fun. Overall: I recommend this if you enjoyed the base game.
(hmm.... now I wanna find a CRT filter for the game....)
