Enjoyed the movement in this a lot - Hagane walks and jumps pretty slowly but you can quickly airdash forward and divekick directly downwards so there were a few instances against bosses where avoiding attacks just meant doing a lot of jump, forward, down, jump, forward, down and that is Cool.
Visually, this rules. Really just a stealth Zeiram/Mirai Ninja crossover in terms of design motifs - all the feudal Japan and industrial mashup tech, gratuitous Sanskrit everywhere, they've even got the Zeiram hat flying around as an enemy. Oh yeah, and Hagane is just ninja Hakaider, look at him! The profile view of him in the ending even just looks like the poster for the Mechanical Violator movie. Perfectly happy with Amemiya just lifting from when he was at the peak of his powers!
