Bro thinks he’s on the team (The Future Demoness team)

i hated waiting 40 years every time i finished a challenge but it was pretty alright

a few questionable gameplay choices definitely bring this down. visuals do try to tell a story but they wound up feeling very disconnected

pretty fun bossfight section, designs feel like something straight out of an anime. contrast with pixel assets is a lil strange though (hence the 6)

i didnt really enjoy playing this due to the repetitiveness but i can see why people would enjoy this. dont feel like writing a longer review as i feel it wouldnt be worth the effort

the red/blue part very much ruins the level but the base gameplay is alright. 13th ever demon, beaten in the hospital

although i enjoyed beating allegiance, i will admit it has NOT aged the best. the gameplay is very iffy and inconsistent in difficulty (the ball is fucking free) ESPECIALLY in the ship parts. the ending dual is also really jank for no real reason. decoration wise it has aged better than most of 2.0 but it’s just average by today’s standards.

xStep brings almost nothing new to the table aside from a handful of block designs, making it feel very much like a filler level.

I don’t really mind this because xStep is a legitimately good introduction to beginner ship gameplay as well as fakes. Can’t see myself giving it lower than a 6
