The game features a charming style and presentation that many players find appealing.
It offers addictive gameplay with a variety of characters to unlock and different abilities to experiment with.
The music and monster designs are enjoyable, providing a nostalgic feel for players.

The game suffers from a lack of polish, with broken menus, missing text in cutscenes, and issues with hitboxes.
Weapons feel weak even after upgrades, and there are limited display options and no way to disable controller vibration.
It doesn't break new ground in the genre and is seen as a mindless time-waster compared to better alternatives.
