its mechanically gorgeous. aside from a unique objective in Turf War. crouch, reload and dash are all the same button. different weapons reward different and unique playstyles.

the setting and characters are fun, and the music has no right to be as good as it is.

too bad about the invincible JP lag armor

Squid kids.
