I was surprised to learn that this game has an interesting, albeit short and a tad "crammed" story.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In addition to this extremely solid foundation, there are a few more possibilities such as a dash that does not use stamina on the right mouse button, and a parry on the middle mouse button that reflects bullets.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The pixel art of this city is gorgeous, full of life and little details, enhanced by great lighting and shadows.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
one map - multiple enemies - a blood lust for improvement, a desire to work on challenges and gain new tools is pretty much what this game has to offer, it's a dopamine hit with difficulty scaling that is fair and welcomed The soundtrack immerses you in the neon night vibe of the map and is a banger for everyone who hears it.
