I went into this game expecting caveman Devil May Cry and I was not disappointed. Seems to me like the game has the same vibe and soul as DMC, even in how Zan calling himself "The Super Ultra Sexy Hero" reminded me of stuff like "Smokin' Sexy Style".
The controls and combat are pretty primitive and janky but honestly it still works surprisingly well. I also have to applaud the devs for actually including a lock-on mode, which helps mitigate a lot of the bad camera in the game, most of the time.
I imagine back in the day the game was seen as more of a 3D beat-em'-up of sorts but nowadays it's easier to compare it to character action games.
Sadly the game's main story is pretty short, beatable in about just a couple hours depending on how well you do, and there's not much else to do besides beat the game again in a higher difficulty. Not surprising that a PS1 game of this nature lacks in extra content but I still would have appreciated maybe a longer story mode.
