I first played the game because of its aesthetic. I sticked around to S rank every stage because of the gameplay.
This game just has significant amount of love put into it. It is best shown in its hand-drawn frame by frame animations. It took a very long time for the game to actually be released. But I honestly prefer that over something being rushed out half-baked.
The game is also notoriously challenging. I remember getting stuck at numerous bosses during my first playthrough. However, it is because of the challenge that defeating each boss actually feels super rewarding. They even added all the great defeat animation and that satisfying "KNOCKOUT".
If all you want is just to complete the game's story, then the game shouldn't be too intimidating in my opinion. I did, however, put considerable amount of time towards S ranking each stage in both the main game and the DLCs. That part was extremely challenging but I was more than glad to do it. Why? Because the game is fun!
This game is definitely going to be remembered as a classic in the future. There's simply nothing like it when it came out. 30s cartoon style combined with 90s and early 2000s shoot 'em up games - that's simply a match made in heaven!
If you can't tell already, I absolutely adore this game. So if you haven't yet, go and buy this game along with the DLC right now! It will sure bring you an experience you will never forget!
