Accessibility Notes
You can also opt for a low-pressure exploration mode.
You need to hold the fire button to chain attacks. Apart from the stick and fire button you occasionally need to press the overdrive button to increase your attack/score.
Although the game offers vibration feedback that complements audio, this isn't always reliable and means that players without hearing may miss some of the interactions and have a downgraded experience.
