Runs good, looks good (runs with no issues on Linux as well which is nice), mostly plays good both in the combat and just exploring the map.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

The game opens up a lot in the second act with new weapons, many new combat and movement abilities which will allow you to go back and explore inaccessible areas in the earlier parts of the game, The boss fights also have been super fun with all the gimmicks and the bullet hell aspect.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
11 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
The story has been interesting so far with some cool connections to the Guilty Gear universe and the dialogs can be very funny !!
Graphics

In terms of the game's visuals, Daisuke went for a very stylized look for the cast and enemies that at times, reminded me a bit of Takehito Harada's (Disgaea, et al).
