COGEN: Sword of Rewind (PC)

Decided to try this because of the collaboration with Luminous Avenger IX. Saw the trailer and it looked great.
But wow, this game is just NOT popular (based on number of Steam reviews, Steam posts, Youtube views and tweets on Twitter) and also from what I read on Steam discussion forums...most of them don't like it much either. But I disagree. I enjoyed this game a lot!

The gameplay is very fun. Level design is good, enemies are varied - some have shield that protect themselves, some have shield that protect the surrounding area, some enemies shoot lasers, some shoot projectile that you can reflect back at them, some act as explosive that you can throw at the enemy etc
Bosses are fun as well.
Game length is somewhat short if you are very good at platforming games, however it can get pretty long (15 hours including DLC) if you are not. Because the levels themselves are short but some are very brutal and you can find yourself retrying a lot.
The game difficulty can be pretty hard sometimes but it never felt "unfair" to me (not like Luminous Avenger IX Hard Mode)

The DLCs are also great - each one comes with 3 new stages, each having somewhat of a new boss, and then it allows you to play with that character in regular stages as well. And each character plays totally different from each other.

The only problem with this game it it's price. $25 is too much for a short and basic platformer. the DLCs also cost $10 each. I strongly recommend getting it on a sale though
(But who knows, considering the fanbase complaints maybe my taste sucks and I wrong)
