I watched a playthrough back when it was new and it wasn't really awful. It just felt like a sterilized Mega Man. No real charm to the levels. None of that "if you got that weapon before attempting this level, then playing it will change by..." sort of thing.
When the KS was announced, I didn't trust it. Specifically, I didn't trust Inafune. I found him to be undeservedly arrogant and shifty and warned people not to back the game. To be fair, I still wouldn't mind seeing a proper anime series made for Red Ash. Wouldn't trust a game of it, either, though.
