Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
I've managed a 1CC on original difficulty in Blue Wish Ressurection Plus, but in this game I struggle to even credit-dump my way through the game's novice mode, called Heaven.
10 of 46 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style, music and graphics really work in favor of the game and make for a compelling atmosphere.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
And instead of the boring soundtracks of your typical Cave game, you have a 90s techno soundtrack, that most of the times has catchy and memorable melodic parts, resembling the Yuzo Koshiro compositions for the first two entries of Streets of Rage in its best moments.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I have yet to unlock two of the ships, but if they're anything like the ones from Blue Wish Resurrection Plus, they'll play reasonably differently to add to replayability or just to find your own style.

Game plays great on SteamDeck, just need to map the keys to the controller.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
Much like prior games which all run on wine or proton, I run this game on FreeBSD with proton7, gamescope and vkBasalt to provide CRT shader effects (as I do for most 240p and 480p games), so it will work on a lot of platforms including the Steam Deck.
