Love the story developments, I kinda feel bad for Yuko for being dragged into these fantasy Civil War shenanigans without knowing a thing. The cutscenes are great, the sprites aren't that great but they do the job, and the music has some stellar moments.
However the game itself is just not good. The first two stages are pretty simple and awkward but, you know, they are doable. They aren't that taxing if you're constantly blasting your weapons, and you can turn off your brain while you let the music carry the moment.
Stage 3 tho? I noped the fuck out. It's bad. I gave it a good try but it's just too obnoxious. Spongy enemies, awkward spots, very plain presentation and level design... I'm sorry, I can't. I watched the rest through YouTube, it's just not worth it.
A big shame tho, I really fuck with the game in a spiritual way. I love the universe it's building, the pathos the characters are going through, the dramatic scenes, the surreal and psychedelic aesthetics... but gameplay-wise it's just... no.
