Sigma Star Saga out today - Impressions?

So has anyone picked this up yet? I've got one on hold at work and want to know what people think (especially Shantae fans; Isn't this the same developer?) before I pick it up.

Post impressions here.
 
Reviews have been mixed. The worst aspect seems to be the randomly generated shooter-levels that you get pulled into; this was precisely a point that I know some folks around here and elsewhere voiced concern over. It seems the shooter segments aren't very fun and don't really capture the essence of a shmup. I'm still kind of looking forward to it, and will leave my pre-order as is... for now.
 
I pick mine up soon for lunch .... The GameSpot review was supprisingly posative considering how shooters usually rank.

but for pure 'unique' factor 2d shooter + rpg elements ---- still very alluring.

Yeah. What I played at E3 was boring as hell. It wasn't exciting at all. I felt no desire to be engaged in it, more just a desire to end it ASAP.
