It seems the remake might give her abilities to defend herself,
much like Natalia in Resident Evil Revelations 2, which should
keep the
difficulty from ramping
up out of the blue.
Everything is simple enough to be picked
up by newcomers to shmups (with a section in the options that explains everything you need to know about the genre), but it is challenging enough to
keep the hardcore fans busy with
much harder
difficulties waiting to be unlocked.
