Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Great visuals, good music, super tight controls and more than enough challenge, make for a SHMUP that fans of the genre are going love.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Equally impressive is the rocking soundtrack, thanks to the pairing of Hyakutaro Tsukumo (Technosoft) and Qwesta; a group that has taken their musical inspirations from Hyakutaro Tsukumo.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Now about the gameplay, I feel like this is mainly aimed to really hardcore players of the genre, it feels like there's no middle ground to the balance and no easy way to start getting into the game without dealing with severe punishment and memorization.
