I love this game! Definitely my favorite game of the year so far!
The story is good and cute, pretty simple but that's not a problem at all. Something about the little Rogue Sentry just makes me smile.
But man, that smile can quickly become a grimace! This game gets really difficult at times-- especially at the end! There is one specific fight that I died about 40 times on-- 30 of which happened in less than 10 seconds. You really have to think quickly in this game.
That's all part of what makes it great though. Once you get over your frustration, you come to realize whatever you were struggling with is entirely doable. In fact, everything in this game is fair and up front about everything. Every death is your fault-- but that's okay-- because you can and will overcome that challenge.
Stick through it all, dear reader, if you have any doubts about your ability to beat this game. I don't consider myself a shoot-em-up expert by any means and I was able to beat this game. Upon completion I found that there's a really good amount of replayability as well. You have a lot of different things to unlock. Multiple endings, different game modes, and the game even includes speedrunning tools to help you challenge yourself to get even better. That's always the mark of a great game, and the developer clearly put their heart and soul into making sure it's as great as it gets.
This game is phenomenal and well worth your money. Thank you for the piece of art, and I look forward to playing again and again until I have everything unlocked. I'm excited to see what other great things Mapledev has in store for us.
