I'm not saying you need to do Hard mode to appreciate it, that's just how it was for me. My first run was quite difficult, as I struggled with the controls and level design, but I decided to do Hard mode for some reason, and I actually had a better time with it, as I had gotten better with the game's mechanics and controls. 3 extra difficulties are unlocked after beating the game once. The game's music and character designs are nice and appealing. If 'Advice' doesn't appear when you select a level, you don't have that boss's weakness. The game lets you know which weapon is strong against which boss via an 'Advice' tab in the level menu. Each levels' boss gives Beck, the protagonist, a special weapon that is strong against another boss. Like Mega Man, the first 8 levels after the tutorial can be played in any order.

The controls are very responsive, and speeding through the levels with the dash feels very good. It functions similarly to a Mega Man game, except for its defining mechanic, which is the ability to absorb enemy robots' energy after weakening them by dashing into them, which gives temporary power-ups.

I am very pleased with this website's service. The game arrived in excellent condition, with case, art book, poster, and DLC download code (can't confirm if it's already been redeemed).
