Short and simple, yet the experience proves to be very frustrating due to slippery controls and frequent lag spikes (which honestly might be an issue related to Godot Engine).

Very basic, very flawed. The game is very inconsistent with its difficulty & the presentation is nothing worth noting. It's amazing how the dev went from this to the much superior Project Starship X.

It takes pure talent to ♥♥♥♥ up a beat'em up game so bad it ends up being inferior to bootlegs. The gameplay is one of the worst of this genre, being overly boring with HUGE hit detection issues.

Gameplay can prove to be fun; However the PC port is abysmal, having performance issues and no proper graphical options such as resolution. Devs & publisher have also completely abandoned the product.

One of THE WORST Japanese PC ports on Steam. The game has no changeable graphical options other than resolution, no controller rebinding, no controller support and refuses to work on dual GPU systems.

Don't get this out of curiosity or even as a joke. The game has been in production since 2014 and abandoned multiple times by the dev, and the soundtrack is one of the worst crimes committed in gaming
Not Recommended June 9, 2022
Not for everyone. While the game's presentation does resemble the arcade / DOS titles, the gameplay (which is based on the old trial & error style) can prove to be highly infuriating.
Not Recommended June 9, 2022
Another mobile port, albeit without microtransactions. Not only the gameplay is very bland and is not suitable for PC, but problems such as bad camera and control issues ruin the experience as well.
Not Recommended June 7, 2022
There's a lot of charm put into it, but the gameplay is pretty barebones. The entire game is on-rails, only requires mashing certain buttons and ends in less than 2 hours with no replay value.

Aside from its length (2-3 hours), it's fantastic. It has an interesting story with multiple choice outcomes, a great blend of atmosphere & humor, a kickass soundtrack and a very interesting gameplay.
