It might be extremely derivative but at least it chose great games to learn from. It plays almost identically to a Mega Man Zero/ZX game, and you can't go a level or boss without seeing a reference to an Inti Creates or Capcom game, but I'd be lying if I said it bothered me much. Level design was pretty strong; it consistently felt pretty purposeful and I hardly ever found myself just going through the motions. Your toolkit is fun to mess around with too, between the versatile EX skills and the powerful ultimate skills you get from bosses. Speaking of the bosses, they're great to fight too. Even the music is decent and the visuals are nice and easy on the eyes, as opposed to the likes of Gravity Circuit. But despite taking so many pages from MMZ, I really wish they took the "the saber is the best weapon in the game" page. It hits like a wet noodle and doesn't feel nearly as good to use. I found myself using the buster way more than I'd like.
Regardless, it's a great, and surprisingly polished game. Perhaps if Inti Creates-inspired games were a dime a dozen like roguelites and metroidvanias and boomer shooters, I'd be more critical of how unoriginal it is. But that's just not the current indie game climate, so I can't help but feel appreciation more than anything else.

vtuber copy and paste of zero
Descaradamente um jogo "inspirado" em Mega Man Zero, e isso tá longe de ser um problema, eu queria que mais jogos fossem na linha dessa saga mesmo, mas creio que o negócio realmente foi um pouco além. É o tipo de jogo que idiotas que acusam Gravity Circuit de ser plágio adorariam tacar o pau, mas dessa vez eles teriam um pinguinho de razão, já que tanto em questão de cenários, design de inimigos (fora os vtubers, esses são daoras), level design e EFEITO SONOROS (isso foi palhaçada mesmo) o negócio exala um "isso é X coisa de MMZ". Ainda assim, é um jogo legal. Conseguiram entender muito bem o que torna o combate da Saga Zero tão daora, então já tá valendo.
blatantly rips off mmz/zx/gunvolt in ways that are sometimes funny and sometimes a bit frustrating because the game clearly has some good ideas of its own as well, so it would have been more interesting if it could have actually stood on its own legs.
the story and characters are very anime (derogatory) and the english translation is not great, but it has good gameplay and music and that's what matters for a game like this
