The verdict
A huge, non-linear metroidvania with excellent bullet-hell boss fights and a great soundtrack. Skip it if you dislike fanservice, very long boss fights or sharp difficulty spikes.

Main risk
Very long, high-HP boss fights and difficulty spikes can turn frustrating; fanservice and story put many off
