The fundamental concept is easy to understand, and mildly terrifying. Each enemy dies in one hit; and so do you. I’ll sometimes die (many) more times in one level here than I do in an entire game elsewhere. It’s hard—brutally, unforgivingly so—but fair in a way that some obnoxiously difficult games don’t even try to be. I’ve brought a knife to a gun fight, and I love it. Slicing people in half never gets old.
