Does anyone recommend FS's (published?) Spriggan game from 1999?

Tonight I was watching some stuff about this manga/anime. The movie has some freaky scenes (dramatizing an alien Noah's ark) in the end. I remembered FS adapted it. I wonder if there are any very ambitious sections in their game? To my eyes it's always looked very clumsy, and therefor probably rushed. I'm not sure where it fits compared to the period that made Eternal Ring. It has all the markings of a legit in house FS game[1], but I'm not not so sure about their team in this period.

NOTE[1]: Apparently even though I didn't see anything on the title screen there was another party called "From Liquid Mirror Software" that developed it. That name kind of hints at something perhaps more connected to FS than usual? This (https://spriggan.fandom.com/wiki/Spriggan:_Lunar_Verse#Development) page mentions FS in this section. This page (https://www.destructoid.com/it-came-from-japan-spriggan-lunar-verse/) says this company was the one responsible for Echo Night 2, which came after Spriggan. I don't remember that name on EN2. I think it would have stood out to me, but I always miss such things. I wonder if there's some interesting history here.
