Yep, this one’s pretty good too. Satisfyingly precise controls, levels and bosses that are reasonably challenging (albeit a little easier overall compared to the Zero games), and some really good music (my favorites in this one are probably Wonder Panorama and Misty Rain). Pretty much what you’d expect after playing Inti Creates’ previous offerings. But there’s something that mixes things up this time around: a Metroidvania-like interconnected map. I wanted to like this feature, but sadly it’s just antithetical to how the game progresses. Just like the Zero games, you select a mission from a list, but instead of being taken to the level instantly, you have to go find it yourself. This could’ve been fine, but the map on the pause screen is a goddamn waste; it gives you pretty much no indication as to where you’ll need to go for your current mission. Don’t feel bad at all about looking up a guide to figure it out. If you can get past that blunder, you’ll find yourself yet another solid action platformer!
