I played a shit ton of this game and it's very fun. The characters designs are kind of gaudy and I heard the dialogue sucks, but honestly I always skip dialogue in games lol. The actual game parts have a few flaws but the bullet hell & metroidvania mechanics are very fun. I would definitely recommend, and there's a mod which removes the character dialogue portraits if you don't want big anime tits on your screen

I beat the standard ending & the sunken city one. This game makes a lot of improvements on the original but I think it's less consistent, and it feels affected a lot more by RNG. There are some parts that can be really obnoxious with generation, like the volcana drill often having lava or setpieces under it, requiring you to either wait for lava to drain for a minute, anger the shopkeepers, or ruin your kali points. It's pretty great but it's more frustrating than the original

This game is amazing. It's very addictive and the gunplay is super fun. The game flows really well and it very rarely slows down. It's worth getting at full price
