Fast-paced 2D shooter that throws some on-foot sections into the mix. The game controls well, which is important as getting perfect medals in all level requires navigating the levels at a very high pace, all while opening gates and defeating enemies.
The DLCs are a nice addition, even though controlling two mirrowed ships needed some getting used to.

A lot of fun, and clearly a lot of effort was put in to polishing this. It's also quite rich in possibilities for mastery, which is cool, and it does require you to be at a certain level to unlock all the levels, but it's never that difficult. I think some tutorial elements are poorly delivered, and there are some levels that are a bit of a slog, and right at the end, a mechanic is introduced that I'm not a huge fan of, turning it into a bit of a very underwhelming finale. All in all though, it's a good bit of fun.
This is a game that gets more fun the better you are at playing it. You can pass each level stumbling everywhere but the important thing is to replay them and improve your performance. A very Sonic Team type of game. Sadly, towards the end the game forces you to grind like a motherfucker for XP which kind of ruined the experience for me. Still this is a quality game with just some bad decisions.
Pretty cool game with some really neat mechanics, only complaint I can really give it is the fact that some levels are a little too long and the character in the 2D platforming section is a little too much in the center of the screen but apart from that it's a solid game with a challenge for those who are looking for one
