**Epilepsy warning for stage 4**
Review based on the easy version
Will give rating once I replay the English version since it would be unfair to give a rating without taking into account the abundant dialogue
The music choice is indicative of a person of culture :)
Gameplay wise, it's aged pretty well, so if you can put up with the old school design choices (restarting music, air saves, the occasional blind transition jump/end of save sniper spike) it's enjoyable
The bosses are the weaker part: half of them are too easy and the rest are long and tedious, especially the sixth boss (pro tip, bring both hands to 1hp, kill the right hand first and pray for good rng; the left hand respawns way faster)
The final boss is decent though

wonderful
Great adventure game. Pretty much all the platforming is oldschool needleventure with some traps mixed in, plus moving objects and some cycles. On the Easy version there is a lot less challenge than Normal, and the rooms can feel a bit too empty at times, but it's still enjoyable. Even to me some of the bosses seem a bit too nerfed - such as the flashing MS Paint boss and the cannon avoidance, which are totally doable in 2-5 attempts even for mediocre boss players who haven't seen them before.
There are some bosses that some people might find questionable, but even the biggest offender to most (Jazz Hands Demon), I still found exciting even when getting terrible RNG on hand availability. It's just a pleasure to play - all the attacks meld well and turn into what is a great boss challenge for novice boss players without ever being unfun.
My biggest gripe with this game is the final boss. At least as someone who isn't good at bosses, even with checkpoints, phases 1 and 2 are both terrible in my opinion. In phase 1 at half HP it feels like pure randomness on whether you get 2 attacks at once that destroy you, or if you catch two attacks that actually blend together well into good gameplay. Then phase 2 is just full of attacks that can either be free and let you get good damage, or just completely screw you. Phase 3 on the other hand feels like a great final phase and I do enjoy that part a lot.
Overall I'd say it's a great game, though I honestly prefer the Normal version, even as a self-proclaimed mediocre player. The challenge in Normal is worth playing for sure (up to Final Boss). For either version of the game you play though, I'd say there's no shame in quitting on the final boss if you're just not having a good time. The other 95% of the game is a lot of fun and deserves the playthrough whether you finish or not.

Really good introduction to justice for beginners. Loses a lot of flavor compared to normal, but it still has a lot of charm and interesting traps. Great game worth playing!

I didn't understand the story but enjoyed the game play overall. Had a nice variety of stages. That restart music brought down the fun for me up until the last stage where it cut that out which I liked. Plenty of people have talked up I wanna be the justice and it was well worth the play overall.
