Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They certainly found smart workarounds for their limitations, as most cutscenes feature well-drawn illustrations of characters talking, akin to a visual novel, and while you'll be playing through the same levels you did the first time around during Amelia's campaign, they found a clever story-reason for it and used a few new bosses to keep things interesting.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The dodge, dash, and combo-cancel mechanics keep battles smooth and reactive, rewarding players who learn to master timing and positioning.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat starts to flow and surprisingly addict once you becomes familiar to movesets, timing, and enemy pattern as you try to best in most stylish way possible.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can also expect strong and punchy consistent sound effects (such as impact, character battle cry, enemy feedback, and scoreboard rank) that help to enhance satisfying combat experience.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character design is nifty, and the art direction in general is very consistent.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For a small indie game, the enemy variety was impressive, and placed strategically throughout the game to challenge the player in numerous ways, while steadily increasing the difficulty curve.
