The satisfying grapple physics, infuriating enemy spawns, and strange-but-fitting art make Umihara Kawase a very interesting game. Having different continuous routes is also a great idea that I somehow haven't seen present in any other platformer. But I do think the difficulty is a little overkill when there are zero checkpoints. If not for save states, I would be at this game for another 10 hours . . .


. . . or whenever my resolve gave in.


I'm glad to have enjoyed Umihara Kawase's unique identity. Cruel bosses, difficulty spikes, random spawns and all.

Neat concept. At some points the stages were a bit frustrating (bullets which should've passed me instead killed me, enemies spawning right behind me without any indication), and the stages got a bit repetitive, but overall it was a fun experience.

The story seemed like it was trying to say something, but even though it didn't, I would not consider it pretentious. I still enjoyed it for what it was, but I do wish they did more with it.

Why did the rating drop all of the sudden??
