Strengths

A unique action system combining a three-second time rewind with a one-HP structure
Fast, stylish controls using a sword, including projectile-reflection action
Excellent soundtrack and voice acting, along with retro graphics and CG presentation

Weaknesses

The difficulty can feel unfair because of instant-death traps, malicious enemy placement, and gimmicks
Hit detection and controls are frustrating, and damage is not always communicated clearly or immediately
Restrictions on the time-rewind system in the later sections and New Game Plus weaken the core appeal

Game Description

■Defy Death by Rewinding Time! Any hit you take is a death sentence in this side-scrolling 2D action game. But fear not! You may lack the HP to weather a beating, but you've got the Ouroboros System on your side. This futuristic technology kicks in the instant death embraces you and allows you to rewind up to 3 seconds of time. Slip up and wish you could take it back? Want to play around and experiment? Easy, just rewind the clock! Hone your skills through trial and error, and triumph over diabolical traps and legions of fearsome foes! ■Story Awakening to find herself sprawled on a floor of hard steel, the first thing that greets Kohaku's eyes is a strange talking sword named ExeBreaker. Unsure of where she is or what's going on, she agrees to this sardonic sword's proposal to join forces, and together they journey deep into the heart of a transformed Cogen City—once Kohaku's home, now a collapsing ruin. Both mystery and mayhem await her, but with the power of ExeBreaker's Ouroboros System on her side, nothing will stop her from discovering the truth of what happened to her beloved home. ■Cast / Staff Kohaku Otori: Asuka Kakumoto ExeBreaker: Taito Ban Akasha: Asuka Kakumoto Hugo: Hiroshi Watanabe Yuji Otori: Koji Seki Mimori Otori: Marie Miyake Composer: Motoi Sakuraba Character Designs: ntny
