I am not a fan of this game's outdated difficulty and challenge. Unpredictable spawns, unavoidable projectiles, long checkpoints, cheeky stage hazards, mostly amounting to cheap hits given the mobility. What got me through the latter parts is mastery over the melee and dodge roll mechanic; however, some level scenes removing those are definitely not my favorite.

Despite all that, I think this is still a good game at its core. Unlocking the post-game characters have different mechanics which would have been my preferred playstyle. Playing through boss rush is probably the most fun I had even though the last boss is kinda unfair. With its difficulty and design, it still may be fun to get flawless runs.

Beyond that though, I do not have any strong reason to replay or recommend this either.
