the story and sound is alright, though i did laugh at the intro of just the kid walking out into the woods in the middle of the night to see what some strange sound was.
the gameplay is well-done and level layout is very similar to metroid, but i do enjoy the inclusion of melee abilities and pet special attacks (not worth having him out following if not using them) though i really only used him during boss fights.
shrug, the monster pet isnt necessary outside of certain switches and monster encounters, and while it is interesting to see the different forms you can chose to evolve it into (which you can switch between anytime), it's nothing to get hung up worrying about unlocking.
the shop upgrades are nice, and while you can grind for them, the further into the game you get, the easier money becomes to get when just killing the monsters in your path, so don't really have to worry about that either.
the only downside is that you're forced to do a decent amount of running back and forth through areas you've already been too when you've unlocked new abilities that help you get to areas you've passed but couldn't get into before, which becomes a sorta annoying later on as the map layout is fairly large.
so i gave it a 9 out of 10, since aside from that last note i enjoyed the rest of it.
