It's been close to 10 years since I played this game. I think I have a better appriciation of this kind of games and I wonder why 30 years later there is no game eqivalent to like this. A game with no time, no health bar just pure timing on who will get the first strike. This game has potiential but because of the hardware limitation of the PS1 the game feels a bit rigid. The controls feels clunky, the move set is limited. The gameplay is in a loop where its just the same types of enemies. The bosses from the stages have a bit of variety. One of them have a rifle and the other uses magic where makes it harder to hit. After playing it for a couple of round I got what the game is going for. This game is nothing special but this game is really special in its own way. I wish we will get a remake one day or something better. I will give this game a B-rank
