Why didn't I play this sooner? This is the highest rated game on Itch for a reason. The characters, dialogue and overall design are so good it hurts. I must say that having the characters use different alphabets when speaking words in foreign languages was a weird choice (occasionally they're subtitled in English, but it'd be nice to have the original words romanised so a language dropout like me can read them), and I occasionally found some of the baseball stuff hard to follow (I don't have baseball where I live) but the sheer quality and soul of this game shines through any flaws it might have.
Are you a fan of Darkstalkers? I couldn't help but keep hearing that one sound effect Lord Raptor makes when one of his attacks is parried.
Regardless. This game is awesome. You'll be damn sure I'll be first in line for Butterfly Soup 2: Soup Harder...
