Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
32 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
What makes this game great IMO is the unique gameplay which ... just feels right as a whole, just like the gameplay in Eschatos, Crimzon Clover, Trouble Witches or Murasaki.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
With 12 stages, the game is quite long for an arcade shoot 'em up, and there's an entire second loop with more difficult stage variants in Arcade mode, while Story mode offers plenty of dialog, and some lengthy unlockable endings.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
The weapons systems feel powerful instead of the "sitting duck with a peashooter" vibe some of the more intimidating shmups have.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
Each mode complements the others, ensuring that players can approach the game however they prefer—either as a casual space opera or as a grueling test of reflex and endurance.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
That game had bright graphics, varied level and boss designs, fun gameplay, and amazing music.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
In addition, I'm completely addicted to the soundtrack, which was the reason why I bought the game in the first place. :)
