A game inspired by Gunstar Heroes from the team that would make my favorite JRPG series (Wild Arms)? On paper, it seemed like a great idea.

In practice, not so much. The game is quite frustrating overall, with enemies constantly juggling you, stages being too long, bosses taking too long to defeat with few attack patterns, lack of checkpoints before bosses, and a somewhat limited system overall for a game of this caliber on consoles.

A pity overall, but at least visually it's quite beautiful, and various elements such as some weapons appeared later in the Wild Arms games, so I can't be too negative about the game.

It's worth at least testing and playing a bit, but each stage will become more frustrating and require more and more precision than the last.
