27 of 81 sampled reviews raised it
What music there is is nice, decent amount of unlocks to change things up, and some story notes attached to each level and difficulty.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 81 sampled reviews raised it
Despite being a little on the frustrating side, the game is a lot of fun to play, and the art backgrounds combined with the soundtrack make this game so much better.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 81 sampled reviews raised it
It’s in the combination of intense arcade shooting, total absorption in the gorgeous and overwhelming visuals, and the constant harmony of so many sounds coming together that something incredible is born.
