Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There are many things this game does absolutely wonderfully and it's really special, but Chronicle mode it forces you to play is a time-consuming abomination with a nonsense RNG-based progression system antithetical to what makes shmups fun.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Angel at Dusk laughs in the face of hyper-realistic graphics and dumbed-down difficulty, with what appear to be vector images of sexualized eldritch crab people barraging the player with bone covered hot-dogs, as midi-programmed thrash metal drives the pulse of our "angel" as she tries to maneuver and shield against the hot dogs and flim-flams targeted her way.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Moreover, the gameplay graphics and other illustrations are fascinating, while the soundtrack is absolutely mesmerizing!
