kind of a special little game. not only because it's on the neo geo pocket color (i played it with an emulator on my ds, though evidently it's also on the switch and pc now!), but also because it's a tight, short action rpg featuring elements of gothic horror pulling from classic monster stuff (werewolves, zombies, draculas) with a flourish of a weirder sort of biopunk tokusatsu reminiscent of the creations of keita amemiya, or of tetsuo in akira with his gnarly arm-thing. i mean, your actual weapon evolves as it feasts on the souls of the monsters you've busted. that's the game!
