Some of the narrative themes are really interesting in concept, but I don't think the game lands the execution very well. I just don't care enough about the characters to feel that strongly about whatever happens to them.

That being said, the gameplay's really fun, especially if you're into bullet hell stuff. Very fast paced and challenging, but not frustrating enough to make me quit, at least for me. Music's pretty good too, there's a couple of catchy tracks later on that really impressed, me. But I think maybe because I listen to a lot of EDM type stuff I was a little less wowed than other people would be.

Also, it wasn't really a problem for me, but I can very easily imagine someone else not liking all the crazy visual effects that they pile on you for some of the battles. I get that it's rhythm game-esque and you're supposed to "feel" the music, but they do it a bit too often that it starts to get cheesy, imo.

overall: not as good as undertale lmao, but still very good.
