This game combines so many unoriginal cliches into such an original game that it is nothing short of brilliant. All of the components on their own have been used in enough games that if they were songs, they would be public domain. Despite this, the game feels like something unlike anything I have played.
You have the art style of an anime action game with the battle style of a fighting game and gear that almost works like Tetris. The levels are side-scrolling with support for depth (meaning you can move up and down tracks). There are plenty of skills, combos, and various other special moves that allow you to throw an endless assortment of attacks at the enemies.
The UI is on par with most games of this style and provides easy navigation with a lot of detail. This carries into most of the game. The animations are smooth and the controls are responsive. The one flaw I found was that the controls could not be moved or scaled. While a fully configurable controller layout would be asking too much, a slider to configure the inset can make a huge difference.
Overall, this was a well-made game that cleverly used familiar items in a way that feels all its own. If you are a fan of the art style or want a new take on a side-scrolling fighter, I highly recommend it.
