I played it a bit but it was not really fun. There's really bad level design in the new stuff and it definitely didn't help that I don't like X8 very much.
It also doesn't look 16 bit at all. X looks completely out of place in the game's graphics.
I recorded me dying horribly in a boss fight, I feel like the desperation moves should not be 2 shotting me especially when there's no partner switch in this version.
