Game had the weirdest jumps in fun game design to dull to bizarrely obtuse and difficult cheap wall death. Having to fly around inside of trash to avoid incineration, random levels starting out with background stuff you mightve missed suddenly insta killing you...just weird. Occassionally it had some fun stuff and the story and visuals were very nice if I am to give credit where its due.

It needs a better level design team IMO. That flaw however is enough to take one of the best looking titles in the genre and make it one of the most flawed and sluggish shooties you'll play. Just jumps all over the place in pacing.

If you want a lot of story with exciting visuals just play Caladrius Blaze instead. Otherwise seek out pure score based shooties that are 100% built upon solid pacing and solid level design. Those are by far the shooties that will stick with you the most in the long run anyhow. My opinion on most entertaining long story shmup with lots of great level design is Castle Shikigami 2. It wont top out the visuals since its older but its fantastic.

Retailers have the Switch version listed for September 29 now. Not sure what is holding that one back. It's also 10 EUR more.
