Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For the most part the gunplay is responsive, the abilities are fun (watching projectiles get time stopped is always a treat) and it had just the right amount of difficulty to get you to engage with all the game's mechanics.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's really good, even though it is quite short.The story is not too exciting but it works and is understandable.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Good detailed environment (some nice pre-baked interior lighting), flashy special effects, fully-dialogue Korean voice acting, and electro / bass / Asian folk music.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The theme represents the contrast between depressing world and hopeful Maya character; it also gives clear visual for the combat.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, as a free game, it is a surprisingly high "difficulty" STG, so it cannot be said that it is for beginners.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting for both characters were great, even though it is only available in Korean.
