Pre-ordered this one on GoG a while back. Played it for a bit over an hour today. And damn its intense, gorgeous, great music etc. The 8-directional control schema takes some getting used to, but once you do things get serious.

It took me a dozen or so attemps to finish the first level. Took some bosses down on first go.

Tip so far is to get the coins in levels. Grab the upgrade that lets you dash without taking hits. It makes life so much easier when traversing through the run and gun levels.
tip2. don't try to kill everything in run&gun levels. goal is to make it through alive, grab all coins and parry the purple stuff and have as high hp as possible when finishing the level. easy A rank end of levels/fights.
Tip3. If you get "stuck" on a boss/area just explore the world map and do some side areas. The mausoleum is one to give you a magical boost for example.
tip4. not sure if possible, but worth checking out. replay some run and gun levels to farm for coins to buy more upgrades from the pig shop.

It is a lot of fun, but takes quite a lot of concentration. Meaning I can't play them in long succesion per sitting. If you like these side scrolling platformers grab this. It is a must
