This game is like all the different ideas "Goemon" games had in them, but extremely polished and fleshed out with beautiful visuals.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
22 of 282 sampled reviews raised it
It runs great on the LCD model of the Steam Deck- mostly 60fps at the highest settings (there aren’t a lot though, just texture/draw distance/AA/resolution/V Sync).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 282 sampled reviews raised it
Between its dual drum stick combat system and the general dialog/menu sound effects, there's a Pavlovian pull from the games complementing each other.
