While the "Charged Shot" skill variants indeed deal greater damage than normal shots, the "Gatling" skills deal lesser damage per shot than the normal one. And lastly, "Sniper" skills deal moderate damage, and only ''stun'' the enemy for most of the time.

While there are Yellow Terminals that replenish Stella's HP, you still cannot manually save your gave, leave and continue where you left off. This means that in order to save progress to any Challenge in Free Play mode, one must play through the start of the map, up until ''winning'' the Apostle boss fight at the end, and then saving at the Mission Select menu only after the previous mission has been completed.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: All Stages have the [[MassMonsterSlaughterSidequest Golden Hunt]] Challenges that require you to seek out a number of Golden Dawns scattered throughout the map. While the game requires varying increments depending on the size of the map (3,6,9,12 or 4,8,12), the largest stages have Golden Dawns that ''exceed'' the maximum number of kills required for the challenges. This is practically useful in the [[GuideDangIt maze-like]] 4th Stage, Mt Fuji where there are 16 Golden Dawns, but the game only requires you to kill 12 for the last Golden Hunt challenge of that stage, saving you time and effort from exploring the ''entire'' map looking for them.
Added DiffLines:
* MassMonsterSlaughterSidequest: Free Play mode spawns a unique type of enemy called "Golden Dawns" which are only available on that mode. Destroying them earns progress in the Golden Hunt challenges that award Character concept arts in the Gallery. Other than the artworks, there is really no other incentive to find them as they don't even give you EXP.

What's worse, the level design can be pretty much confusing and most crossroads don't actually match that of their "simplified" appearance in the map. This can even cause players to easily get lost in the 4th Stage.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: The intro video that also serves as one of the game's [[TrailersAlwaysLie official trailers]] as well as the opening FMV in the finished product. Well, being a 2D animated full-motion video, it still depicts actions that cannot be performed in the 3D game:
** Stella moving towards an Armament in the [[FlashStep blink-of-an-eye]], firing her cannon at PointBlank range. You can only dodge sideways in-game, not forwards or backwards. Also, you are fixed to a specific arc when in combat, and cannot freely control your character's positioning.
** Stella jumping and shooting her cannon at at enemy. This is probably the most egregious example, as you cannot manually jump at all (only in context-sensitive platforming segments). And while there are indeed skills that make Stella jump and shoot her cannon, the in-game animation plays out entirely different, and the skill is an [=AoE=] and not of the single-target variant.
