The port of the game, only the game, is good. But it lacks some options like on-screen control configuration and switching to the original PS1 dub/voice. Those two features alone can make or break the game for the player. Missed oportunity, konami. Also, play this with a controller. (If it works, haven't tested it yet)

Note, I played this with a PS4 controller (XBox Elite 2 is also fine). Game is excellent. All of the music, graphics that I recall playing on the original PS1 all those years ago. Originally played on Pixel 1, just fired it up on Pixel 9 Pro - works fine, no speedup. The port is very well done. Do NOT play with On screen controls - they're TERRIBLE. Make sure you have low latency BT controller. This is one of the original Metroidvanias, and worth a play.

The Resist Stone item is bugged in this version and doesn't work at all. There's no way to customise shortcuts. There's no shortcut for Maria's rolling attack, but there's one for sliding, which doesn't need a shortcut, since its command is simple enough. The fairy familiar doesn't sing in this version, even though she should, as this is a port of the PSP version. High Jumps are hard to pull off on touch screens, command should be changed to just hold UP, press JUMP as in AoS.
