The touching storyline is complemented by the game's beautiful 2D visuals, particle effects and environments rife with enemies, and glowing projectiles. Diadra Empty gives you extreme speed and maneuverability, huge environments in which to seize the upper hand, and plenty of firepower and upgrades.

I remember when I tried this game out a while back and literally every single version of the game that I tried had some sort of crashing problem when going into the shop menu. Wonder if they finally fixed the issue.
Of course, that's just an opinion. Always seeking netplay fans to play emulated arcade games with.
Worth mentioning that you are better off getting this than hunting the game physically because the patching process is just a painful thing for the physical ver. here, you get the latest patched version off the bat (and the patches ADDED a lot of things including extra stages)
