Everyone who's played it loves it. I think it's just lesser known.

Feels good, man.

Those are rather valid actually but i think this game is less frustrating with its difficulty while still really psong a challenge at the end.

I bought this at a games store not long ago for about $10. It's really good.
Also, would the Soul Blazer games count? Because I love the shit out of them.

I guess.

>>useless spells

Agreed.

>huge difficulty drop from main series

Irrelevant. It's a completely different game.

These feel like nitpicks. Demon's Crest is still top tier.

Controls on this one are beautiful. Dash, weapon aim/direction locking and an actually useful shield. Plus your mech has a great sense of weight to it when jumping and boosting.

Great game.

But why make such a giant long game with shitloads of levels and different enemies and then only like 4 primary weapons?

Its the one thing you use the whole game and it never changes.

I dont get it.
