This time, we push through most of the rest of the campaign, showing that, like the original, the game is unfortunately not very long. There are plenty of side quests to help extend the experience, but they're... Very unfulfilling on the whole, mostly just having you walk around and talk to people, or get monster drops. Really just wasting time rather than providing any content of merit, so not worth it.

Anyhow, amidst a lot of cool ideas and fun aesthetic, there are mostly problem with the actual enemy engagements themselves, with data of hitstun frames vs attack frequency, weapon data in several cases, and so on. Bosses in particular are often very boring and non-engaging, poor stat balance and very slow attack cycles with long periods of invulnerability, or just getting easily and handily beat down in little time. Many things simply not allowed to shine as they could, because the engine itself has a lot of design faults.
