Renamed some tropes.


* ItsTheSameSoItSucks: The remake has received criticism for not adding anything new, with the only new things gameplay-wise being difficulty settings and some rebalanced difficulty.
* PolishedPort: The PC, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/XboxOne versions of the remake adds several options that the initial UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch release lacks, such as having faster loading screens and giving you the options of being able to play with the classic music, changing the filter of the screen to emulate an arcade, and letting you see concept artwork of the remake and reading the comic inside the game.

* ScrappyMechanic: Having only one hitpoint, a deceptively big hitbox for a player character and losing lives so easily can frustrate many players, even though it can eventually be worked around.

** The remake has caught some flak for not including any sort of save function[[note]]The original game had this too, but it was an arcade game, justifying this.[[/note]], meaning you have to beat the entire game in one sitting. That said, the game can be beaten in about 30 minutes, making it slightly less of an issue than you would think.

Moving to Tear Jerker page


* TearJerker: Miho crying and calling for help during the continue screen can be this. It's even worse in the original arcade version, where she flatout says that she'll be '''''killed''''', and it's entirely possible to run out of credits during the final level (with said level [[PointOfNoContinues limiting your credits to five]] beforehand), leaving you with no way to save her. Imagine being permanently stuck in a ForcedTransformation, on top of losing your girlfriend...

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDGjufjzjf8 first level's theme]] is very catchy, and will get you ready for some non-stop shooting.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCfKvDDz18E second level's theme]] has a very upbeat vibe, perfect for an underwater level.

Added DiffLines:

* ThatOneBoss: Bashtar. Considering he is a deity, it should not be surprising, but he can cover his weak point (his beating heart) with his hands, his patterns are a bit erratic and he can use his feet to limit your movements. And that can get to the point you ''can't dodge'', leading to cheap deaths.
