Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 14, 2026)

An addictive loop faithful to the original wins 156 reviews of this remaster, which scores 80.0.

👍 Strengths

156 reviews describe an addictive loop that stays faithful to the original. Visuals & Sound ranks 702nd of 1249: 99 call the animation crisp and the graphics nicely done. 31 enjoy the challenge on the highest difficulty, where enemies demand guarding and dodging. Tech & Support ranks 97th of 1399, with reviews reporting a stable 60 frames per second, and others praise responsive controls and useful toggle options.

👎 Where it falls short

36 reviews say the dodge has too many invulnerability frames and makes the game too easy. 27 find some attack animations and control responses poor. 24 say the smaller number of stages makes clearing every story repetitive, and Content Volume ranks 943rd of 1351. Others say the classic mode breaks the balance between player and enemies, and a few note fewer enemies on screen and frame drops during big special attacks. Gameplay ranks 641st of 1396.
