Not many games out there where the plot is so cracked out that the localization threw it out and made up a new one.
Also not many games where out of a selection of 4 weapons and 16 unique combinations, the most powerful attack in the game is your co-op partner's face.
ALSO not many games where Expert mode gives you a 7 phase boss fight with attacks you never saw in any of the lower difficulties. One of said phases being it morphing into a giant fucking pistol.
ALSO not many games where a miniboss you fought earlier escapes into deep space so that it could re-challenge you with a bullet hell survival challenge that can last up to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The developers just did whatever the fuck they wanted and it shows. Every design decision in this game, regardless of whether it was fully realized or not, had the boldness to try. And I think it succeeded in every regard, because even when it makes no goddamn sense, it's just fun.
Treasure games are something else.
(Also, did you know there's a secret slide tackle attack? Input ⬅️↙️⬇️↘️➡️ + B and it'll push away / tear through most enemies. Does more damage than the regular slide, and it's really important to learn if you want to stand a chance in the harder difficulties.)
