Garo mobile game - Makai Labyrinth

So, this escaped my notice, but evidently there was a Garo mobile game released last year for the 10th anniversary. (The only reason I found out now was because I was seeing if Wikipedia had any additional info on the Final Fantasy crossover.)

Unfortunately, I jumped through the hoops needed to install it from outside of Japan, and... it kinda sucks. For some reason, they made this some kind of pong/pinball game, where you try to beat the Horror by swatting the ball at a target in each level. And you always take a team of 3 characters with you, although I have no idea exactly what they do since I can't read Japanese. You start out with Ryuga, Takeru, and Aguri from Yami, additional characters can drop from levels or from gacha draws. I'm assuming there's some kind of super attack that you can do since there's a energy meter in the shape of the Garoken, but I haven't figured out how to trigger it.

Just thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone else didn't know about it. Maybe the game gets better if you can actually understand the rules, or if you're a Garo completionist in general, but I'd love to hear an opinion from someone who can actually read what's going on. (Android users will either need QooApp or a VPN connection to install it, I don't know what iOS users would have to do.)

I think there is a trailer on the Garo Project page of it. I would have tried it if there was an English translation because it seems to be interesting for a mobile game.

Found this video which has 23 minutes worth of gameplay:

Instead of paddles, you can swipe anywhere on-screen to hit the ball, so that's why the ball seems to change direction randomly. You should be able to get a good sense of the game from this.
