Sin and Punishment/YMMV


 * Anticlimax Boss:, but if you want to go for a Perfect Run (shoot every bullet thrown by the boss), that's a different story. Higher difficulty levels, however, will live up to the game's reputation.
 * Awesome Music: Agave, the BGM of Stage 2-1 and the Training stage, and Ally Risker's, the BGM of Stage 3-2.
 * Demonic Spiders
 * Most Annoying Sound: Airan's Big No whenever she is hit.
 * And then there's Leda: "FIGHT ME! NYYA! NYYA! NYAA-AOW! EYAAAAAA! NYYAAAAA!" It's at it's worst near the middle of 2-1, where she goes "NYAA" no less then eight times.
 * Narm: Saki's voice(s). He sounds like a teenager in cutscenes and dialogue, yet when you're in control of him and making him attack, take damage, and get knocked down, he sounds like a middle-aged man.
 * A lot of the voice acting in general is So Bad It's Good, especially Achi constantly overlapping her own dialogue.
 * Scrappy Mechanic / That One Level: Stage 3-2 is a wannabe sidescroller stage.
 * That One Boss: . Considering the bonus for this boss requires practically frame-perfect movement and aiming to stop any collateral damage AND that there's three ways to lose the fight (you die, time runs out, or  ...
 * Also the goddamned "Heart Seeker". You are Airan, chasing the boss, a giant missile on a levitating platform, trying to shoot it down. It doesn't attack you. Why is it so difficult? Because it's aimed at Ruffian Saki. If it hits him, you die. It's been given enough hitpoints so that you can only possibly kill it if you basically NEVER MISS IT on the way down and then get pretty much the maximum possible amount of slashes in on it at the last minute when you're actually close enough. And Saki is attacking you the entire time, just to make life difficult. Oh, and this was on normal. Hard is hell.
 * Heart Seeker is easier to beat when you don't lock on it, which you may not realize because you just fought a boss that you almost had to lock on to beat. Also, experienced players can position themselves so that Saki's shots will hit the heart seeker, but its a shock at first.
 * Viewer Gender Confusion: Saki isn't exactly the most masculine looking video game character, leading to someone on NSider2's first thought on seeing his assist trophy update in the Super Smash Bros blog, "Who's the chick?"
