I bought this game purely because I was confused by the high reviews and BOY do I get it now!!

Minishoot Adventures is basically a 2D Zelda game + Twin-stick combat + Metroidvania progression systems and it comes together perfectly. The combat is satisfying, the exploration is addicting, and the bosses are an event all on their own.

It also has a number of accessibility features, including some tied into how your character targets enemies, which was SUPER helpful for me the Steam Deck!

My only real critique is that enemies feel kind of bullet-sponge-y? To the extent that, in the postgame content, I ended up lowering the difficulty simply because constant aiming for so long was tiring for my wrist. However, that lowest difficulty setting felt really good to me, to the extent that I wish I had used it earlier!

God this game is good!!
