At first, it might feel inferior when compared to Oneechanbara Series due to inferior dodge system while adding parry/guard which still difficult to perform anyways in change it offers functional character support system both in stage gimmick, battle, and survivability. And tbh it's quite surprising that this game only offers one controllable protagonist for a D3 Game which i believe not favorable for players who demands selectable characters.
The story might have good portion of volume and not so difficult to understand plot. Probably players who knows Kuroda would love to have Kiryu-Chan to have more screentime because he sounds funny when talking.
