And for gamers who like classic 2D shooters, it's a well made double A game with great action, fun and rewarding exploring, and pretty challenging, but fun platform jumping.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
It's a neat mix of the original versions of Star Wars, Blade Runner, and James Bond with little to no restrictions, and the timeless art style and animations still holds up today, with incredibly memorable music and sound effects.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are beautiful, and the music is fantastic, faithfully following the jazzy soundtrack of the original anime.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
6 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
The actual combat is much better than the platforming portions and I enjoyed most of the combat sections.
