32 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
Three modes and 6 difficulties, with the lowest doable for everyone and a good progression between the modes.
Story

Caladrius Blaze’s dialogue and various endings and story is where this game truly shines, if you can manage to somehow overlook all the amazingly stereotypical anime-style voices that all the characters have.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

While the game is short (1 hour long) and it's story is somewhat generic (also text can be hard to read), the graphics and anime-sque characters are solid, the controls and difficulty are better than average (and adjustable), and there is plenty of replay value with the different modes and characters/weapons.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
The story divided between all characters was quite alright, the weapon system is amazing to play with, allowing you to "borrow" weapons from other ships once you've cleared the game once with said character, and the scoring system is decent, asking you to clear the enemy waves with your special weapons only to increase the multiplier.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Add to this a really good soundtrack, and you got a pretty well-rounded, enjoyable game.
