It's very nice.

The story fights are a decent challenge (for a noob like me, even on normal) and have decent variety.
Cute and pretty. No bugs so far, Story mainly an excuse to set up fights, but comes with cute lore bits,

Playable on kb + m, but much better with a controller. (This is also a fancy way of saying i'm annoyed by the default KB keymap and could not come up with something better. Keybinds are configurable.)
Mostly played with an XBox controller. Worked pretty much perfectly, but still shows PS button icons.

It is like a Touhou game, except without the waves of enemies, just the bosses. Overall, a fun way to spend an hour or so here and there.

Gameplay: On most of the campaigns, you fight 6 of the 8 characters acting as bosses. You start each fight simply trying to hit each boss with your own attacks. Do this four times and the boss switches to their "magnus attack" (think spellcards from Touhou). In this phase, the boss's attacks become more intricate and you have to wear down their health bar. Afterwards, they go back to the first phase or do different magnus attack, depending on where you are in the overall fight.

Controls: Default controls are movement with the arrow keys, attack with Z, X, C, V, and focus (move slower, smaller hitbox) by holding shift. You can switch to using the mouse in the Homescreen -> Options -> Input Options. You can also change keybinds there.

Difficulty: The campaign has four difficulties. I played the "Normal" difficulty, the second easiest. As someone who never played a bullet hell game before, it provided a good level of challenge without becoming overwhelming.

PVP: Best 2/3 rounds, in each round you try hitting your opponent four times.

Variety: There are 8 different characters to choose from, each with their own unique abilities and play styles. You can really feel the difference between all of them, so make sure to give them all a try.

Art: The preview images and video are very representative of what you get.

Extras: There are unlockable artworks and music. There is also a time trial mode where you try beating a boss's magnus attack as fast as possible.
