❤ Smooth and Fluid Gameplay

Players praise the game's core gameplay as smooth, fluid, and responsive. The high-speed aerial combat features a variety of mobility options, allowing players to quickly dodge, dash, and maneuver around the battlefield. Reviewers note that the controls feel tight and the characters handle extremely well, creating an exhilarating and satisfying combat experience.

❤ Depth and Complexity

Despite its Early Access status, the game demonstrates a surprising level of mechanical depth. Players highlight the variety of special attacks, spell cards, and combo potential as providing a high skill ceiling. The "Accel Drive" mechanic, which temporarily boosts a character's stats, adds an extra layer of strategy as players must manage their drive gauge. Reviewers encourage players to fully explore the game's systems, as mastering the mechanics can lead to very rewarding and technical gameplay.

❤ Unique Character Playstyles

The limited roster of four characters (Reimu, Marisa, Youmu, and Patchouli) offers distinct playstyles and approaches to combat. Reimu and Marisa are described as well-rounded all-rounders, Youmu excels at close-range melee combat, and Patchouli specializes in zoning and area control. This variety in character design helps to offset concerns about homogeneity, as players find satisfaction in experimenting with the different fighting styles.

❤ Satisfying Combat Feedback

The game's combat has been praised for its satisfying feedback and "feel." Players highlight the sound effects, visual impact of attacks, and overall sense of impact and weight to the action as positive aspects. The sense of power and speed conveyed through the characters' movements and attacks further contributes to the intense and thrilling combat experience.

❤ Areas for Improvement

While the core gameplay has been well-received, some players have identified areas for potential improvement. The balance between ranged and melee attacks has been a point of discussion, with some feeling that melee combos are currently too dominant. Additionally, the lack of graphical options and performance optimization on certain systems have been noted as areas that could use further refinement. Overall, however, the general consensus is that the game's gameplay provides a solid foundation that the developers can continue to build upon.
