i'm notoriously lazy with actually playing thru a game a second time even with multiple characters, so the fact I actually did that here is a big green flag for me. kisuke was your typical grunting angsty Bakugo-type dude but the gameplay was phenomenal no matter who you play (Momohime was my favorite tho, and by then I finally figured out how to forge new swords lol).

VanillaWare games are consistently beautiful, always in shock any time I see the release date on their titles since they all look so fresh visually, you'd think they were made in the last couple years. game suffers from too much backtracking and runnin back and forth to the exact same locales, and there's a bit of a repetitious-ness to the level design that can get a bit boring. however, the gameplay itself is such a blast and the atmosphere is so singular that it more than makes up for it. First game I played on my PS Vita after finally acquiring one in January and I jailbroke it, so I'm feeling especially fond #Feels towards this title. T___T
