So far from playing it, gameplay is good and controls are precise. my only issue is the seemingly lack of able to config your buttons on your control pad ( I use a PS2 via USB) and maybe with a logitech USB controller the layout will be perfect.
Loading is good, game runs smooth with it's cell shaded look. Missions are instanced, so choice is there to solo or play in teams. UI is straightforward and tutorial is great in instructing you with the mechanics.
Layout is good, loading is great, playerbase is strong. It feels like a hybrid of Streets of Rage meets Castlevaina. If you're a fan of beat them up sidescrollers you'll like this alot. Gameplay may seem repetitive, but once that's what your into, then you'll like this immensely.
