this game was marketed as a shoot em up, and i think that's a massive let down for a lot of people on that front. honestly, it plays much closer to a topdown action game in its gameplay, and i think this game is victim to genre labels not really meaning anything anymore

is this the shmup you want? no, probably not, but from the view of something that you can just go ham in, it is very enjoyable. definitely better approached as an action game.

2 massive let downs though : the OST, and the complete tonal dissonance between the opening cutscene and the actual game's story
