You know, I have some gripes with this game. Primarily that it can feel unwieldy at times, and the camera can be kind of a dick. I also found the game somewhat easy (to beat, not to S rank) and the small stealth section also feels out of place... but that's the worst I can say about this game, honestly.
This is a genuinely amazing character action game and it's fun as fucking hell all the way through in both campaigns. Both characters are fun to play and have a lot of combo potential with how cancellable every animation is. Figuring out how to chain shit together against the bosses was fun as hell, and also fun to see what I could get away with against regular enemies while also avoiding attacks.
On top of that, the soundtrack is great (tho it gets drowned by sound effects and voices) and the writing is actually funny. Kanoko is one of the funniest characters I've seen in a while.
Impressively, this game is apparently primarily developed by one person? The credits show that they had some support, but still seems like it was mostly them alone. Which is mindblowing, honestly.
I can say it's a tad short, tho, but there's extra modes and it took me 12 hours to do both campaigns. That said, I was reloading checkpoints a good bit to get no damage/S Ranks.
Still, an easy recommendation for anyone that wants a fun soulful character action game. It honestly feels like a lost PS2 game, in the best possible way.
