Looks great, plays great, but jesus jimminy christ it gets hard fast.
I know that there are assist options to dial down the difficulty, but honestly the one change I want isn't in there, and that would be to remove the Sniper enemy type from the game all together. The beam weapon guys that you meet on level 5 are a much more interesting riff on that same idea-- notably, you can outrun their attacks without being forced to dodge-roll, and the flames they leave behind become new obstacles in the arena. The Snipers, meanwhile, seem to exist in the game solely to break up your combos and give you one too many things to think about.
Masocore types will like that feeling, but it just wears me out.
