Solid run. Got hit either from being sloppy or during Gen. Magnus's second phase. I got caught off guard because I was anticipating his unparryable bullets and got hit from the bullets you can parry. There are certain parts where I let my shield get destroyed or skip item boxes, and that's mainly to reserve my energy meter for a later fight. Not a big fan of the electric powerup since it drains your meter really fast if you get too spam happy with your attacks.

Anyway, this game is fantastic and would be my GOTY if Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection didn't exist. It's pretty short so your mileage may vary depending on how much you enjoy replaying and going to 1CCs. Mind you, it took me 19 hours before I got my first Arcade Mode 1CC so the game isn't easy. From what I can tell, there's only two health items in Arcade Mode and both are in Chapter 2. After that, you won't be getting any more health for the rest of the game so there's little room for error for an Arcade Mode clear. My only complaint is you can't cancel out of your whip attack by jumping. You pretty much have to let the animation play out before you get to jump again. It may seem nitpicky since your attacks are quick anyway but it can be very annoying when you can't quickly jump out of the way of incoming bullets during your attack animation. Also, it would be nice to have more powerups too, like unlimited sliding for a short period of time or have your zipline temporarily do damage but it's whatevs.
