Jigoku Kisetsukan: Sense of the Seasons

Jigoku Kisetsukan: Sense of the Seasons offers a genuine sense of pride and accomplishment after beating it on any difficulty.

The good elements that make the game unique are still intact, namely the complex scoring system and the unique bomb mechanics, labeled "Aura" in this game: you can only hold up to two bombs, but they refill progressively with item pickups, making it harder to bomb-spam tough sections or bosses without making bombs too sparse.

There are multiple characters (you will need to unlock them) each with their own unique style and feel, ton's of challenge, replay value, and a pretty good soundtrack to boot.

I also appreciate the "training room" feature and the variety of playable characters (which leads to different final bosses).

Graphics: The UI is very "lightweight" and the character portraits are well-drawn, I like the style.
