I hate to give this a bad rating with how much I liked the original, but the apple fell very far from the tree.
The game drastically changed genres to be more of a 2-D platforming/bullet hell hybrid in the same vein as Neon Abyss, but it is sadly not succeeding at that. This is unfortunately one of the worst of it's new genre, with the game making a lot of design choices that would be baffling even if it wasn't tied to the source material. Almost every design choice in this game changes or removes the mechanics that made the first one good, and adds mechanics that make this game frustrating to play. Examples of this include the uncontrollably changing weapons which takes control of your run out of your hands, sometimes trapping you with weapons your enemies are immune to.
All in all a disappointing game when judged on its own merits, but straight up heartbreaking when compared to the masterpiece that was its predecessor.
