It is far more accessible to new players than the games in Cave's catalog that it pays homage to, but in spite of this accessibility, I would presume it still has a fairly high skill ceiling.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

I was put off at first by the graphics, but once the gameplay kicks in, immensely helped by the beautiful music, it really gets you into that shmup flow state!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 49 sampled reviews raised it
And instead of the boring soundtracks of your typical Cave game, you have a 90s techno soundtrack, that most of the times has catchy and memorable melodic parts, resembling the Yuzo Koshiro compositions for the first two entries of Streets of Rage in its best moments.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 49 sampled reviews raised it
The art style, music and graphics really work in favor of the game and make for a compelling atmosphere.
