It's really hard to say I can't recommend this game. I really wanted to like it but this game is just way to frustrating to enjoy. On one hand, like this game. This game is awesome to look at. The pixel graphics gives it a really great look. I love pixel art because it makes the aesthetic timeless. Also the music is really awesome to listen to. I would put this OST in a compilation with other great soundtracks, On top of this there is some depth to the combat system that makes it really engaging to play. It brings really great variety to fighting.

On the other hand, this game has some issues that make it more frustrating than fun to play. Sometimes the difficulty can feel really unfair and frustrating. To start, there is no form of a "get off me" attack. So when you get swarmed, there is absolutely nothing you can do. If they just had a move like that then it would make things a little more fair, even if it takes a little bit of your health like in every other game. On top of that the hit detection is off. Sometimes your attacks will tend to whiff when it really shouldn't, considering you will get hit in the same exact spot by the target you are attempting to hit. Sometimes this game can be infuriating because the difficulty can come off as cheap in certain sequences. Giving you really gimmicky hazards or really cheap bosses that also have minor enemies pester you while try to deal with larger threats.

This game is doable, however it makes you frustrated when you have to put up with it's cheap difficulty. There is no problem with a difficult game but when it's done like this, it doesn't make the game fun.
