I played this after watching Zack's stream, so I won't reiterate what he said too much - obviously the story is well written but disrupts the pace of the action-shooter gameplay, and the bullet-hell-like enemy onslaught is very challenging. That said, it's a fun, polished little top-down shooter underneath that and I had plenty of fun playing through it myself. Once you realize the boss attacks are short range and you can just cheese them by standing back a tiny bit, they're actually pretty easy and the smaller enemies are more of threat.
