I'm not quite sure why this game is rated so highly. Its not bad I suppose, but its pretty shallow. You can unlock like 4 other weapons and subweapons, but that's about it. You see the same powerups over and over, and the game wants to be more of an action game but the controls are clunky. Making the game a dash fest, but where you don't have full invicibility framses with the dash, so you'll often dash into damage.
Low grade. Deserves poor sales. Repetitive and boring enemies. Bad controls. Character should not move forward when attacking and get damaged. Forces a jerky twitchy unintuitive gameplay. Has potential but poor execution. Random boss rewards makes unlocks a sad chore.
