Combat

Developed by Sunfish Kumano and published by Waku Waku Games, it is a focused single-player experience that favors straightforward action and creative combat scenarios rather than complicated progression systems.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
64 of 297 sampled reviews raised it
Game starts off simple leaving me worried about its depth in gameplay engagement, ends up beating my expectations for a game of simple graphics.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
49 of 297 sampled reviews raised it
You'll need to beat the game to start NG+ to unlock the true ending which is worth it since it elevates your use of tactics and weapon usage.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 297 sampled reviews raised it
Its functionality works with the Deck's default controller configuration, appropriate controller icons are displayed, interface text is considered readable, and the default graphics configuration is suitable for the hardware.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 297 sampled reviews raised it
I know very little about "boomer shooters" in general but having played a few in the past and getting in very difficult parts of the game, I played this on normal difficulty and it felt perfectly balanced 95% of the time.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 297 sampled reviews raised it
Such as the little bit of being able to see your character is great (all the characters being Kyute helps make this one of my fav features) and the soundtrack and gun play too comes together for an addicting replay and it can just make you melt into the game and the world even if small and level based.
