The gameplay features an engaging mechanic that balances attacking, collecting, and dodging enemies, particularly in co-op mode, which is generally well-received. However, some players find the gameplay to be simple and monotonous, suggesting that a combined experience of the series would feel more valuable. Overall, while the gameplay delivers on expectations, it may lack depth for some players.
“This creates an incredibly interesting mechanic of when to attack, when to stock lives, and when to collect coins all while dodging other enemies, and it works well.”
“When it comes to gameplay, the title delivers with aplomb.”
“The gameplay itself is okay, but if the entire series was combined into one game instead of being sold separately, it would feel more worthwhile, even at the individual price points.”
