Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This game got me to keep playing non stop as I slowly came to realise that I have not even beat the first stage of this game as it seemed to get harder and harder and went on forever, just like any game like this STARTING OVER SUCKS, so thankfully there was plenty of starting points for each section and unlimited lives, I did not get to far into the story as it only added small bits here and there, but it is a fun little game, but it is not a stress reliever!

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics in this game are very good looking and give a very distinct eastern feel to the game, all the sprite work is well made and looks great.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Shio has nearly infinite replayability, as you can speed run each level, competing against a character in the game called "old friend", who has some fairly good times.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack to this game is also amazing, very calming and very fitting I’m absolutely in love with it.

Also, with an Xbox One controller, UP on the joystick moves the character left or right depending on how you were previously facing.
