How it feels

A fast, arcade-style 2D platformer that feels like a cute and chaotic retro action game with lighthearted hack-and-slash combat.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Mega Man X5 and X6, with level design that copies those games' worst ideas. Controls are widely called stiff and worse than the first game, and some players note stolen sprites and music. A minority enjoys the references and multple endings, but most say the sequel is a step back.
