Hmmm. frequent framedrops (low 20s) on Steam Deck. The story is pure comedy and the combat is simple yet it has variety. Clunky but i don't mind.

If you love hack and slash character action (DMC or Bayonetta) then you owe it to yourself to play this. I never make reviews for games, but I felt like this one deserves it. PROS: [*]Menus are simple and easy to navigate, so getting back into the action is awesome. [*]Being able to go into a Training at any time just by standing still then pressing the 'Select' button [*]Attack Cancelling. Feel amazing to just cancel pretty much anything into anything. [*]Constant action; I never had a moment of confusion jumping back into the story mode after a long break, because of it's linearity. [*]On HARD WORK difficulty the bosses become a serious challenge because Normal felt so easy, a very good challenge for sure. [*]The music is high energy, love it. CONS: [*]Controls are a bit hard to get used to, with Dashing being on the X button and primary attacking being Y, as well as later in the game it uses the Right Bumper, and I changed it to the Left Bumper but it stayed as 'RB'. [*]The story modes is a bit short, even with the two characters you'd play through the same levels. [*]Sometimes it feels empty or lifeless, almost like it's made from a template. [*]Animations can be very stiff and or clunky. [*]Dialogue voices are only in Japanese. (While not a big complaint, I like to listen than read) If you're on Steam Deck, run it on Proton Experimental (so it doesn't crash in the shop menu)

Just like what the other reviews say, if you are a DMC/Character Action fan, you will LOVE this game. The game is not a looker, but the gameplay is amazing and it animates surprisingly well. The combat feels snappy and responsive, but there is also real juicy hit stop/impact frames on some of the bigger moves. If you've played DMC before, there will be a lot of moves that will feel familiar. Overall, huge recommend for anyone who likes DMC or Character Action games in general.

If Devil May Cry and Bayonetta are Coke and Pepsi, Assault Spy is like a can of the store brand cola. Cheap, small and good enough for you to not mind the quality. The story starts a bit bland, but the midpoint is where the game gets interesting. The twist was actually pretty good. Characters are fun, even though they are mostly common anime tropes. The art is pretty good and character design is also good, although Asaru reminds me of the Persona 3 protag a bit too much. Models are a bit simple, could use more detail, but its not something you will notice when the action starts. The walking animations are a bit silly though. The game dificulty is average and its a bit short overall. I didn't get any progression stoppers aside one optional fight with Asaru that I kept retrying because if you get down to 1 health, it automatically continues the level and creates a checkpoint, forcing you to replay the level from start to try again. Gameplay is pretty flashy, smooth and fun. I have some issues with the default control scheme that makes dash the X/Square button and punching the Y/Triangle button, but that can be easily changed. You have two characters, Asaru and Amelia, her being unlocked midway through Asaru's chapter. Asaru is a flashy character based on dodging, quick attacks and timed combos, where getting the right timing gives him attack boosts and different moves. Amelia is a strong character based on unrelenting combos and big damage. She is actually far easier to play as due the block move being incredibly overpowered. The same optional fight with Asaru that made me retry a dozen times, I got it on my first try with Amelia. No massive glitches. The most I were graphical ones like giant HUD elements, a duplicate Amelia if you taunt before the boss dies and a weird slowdown that happened after I killed an enemy and lasted for longer than it should. There isn't much to talk about, but clearly a hidden gem on Steam. If you want a great hack-and-slash/spectacle fighter, this is a solid one.

Extremely underrated Character Action Game, the number of existing CAGs are already low let alone a good one, even more so an indie title with clearly extremely low budget even when comparing to other indie games. While being low budget and not quite polish, the combat is exceptionally good and smooth, it is more similar to Bayonetta than DMC, there's a lock-on but most of the time you shouldn't use it, it's nothing like DMC lock-on. The game has 2 characters, Asaru is like a fusion of Dante's Rebellion and Vergil's Yamato, some very similar attacks but with different inputs, he even has Judgement Cut and Trick Dodge. Amelia is more like Bayonetta with punches, kicks and ROYAL GUARD, 2 extra weapons with a few moves and one high cost attack similar to Hell on Earth. Stringing combos are buttery smooth, there's no janks in both movements and attacks unlike Solstice, some attacks can be used to cancel animation not just dodge, both characters can dodges without any limitations, very few attacks has long animations and not cancel-able. Both character has their own "Devil Trigger", Asaru has Witch Time and Amelia become stronger & invincible for awhile and are crucial for smacking bosses. Boss fights while nothing special are quite fun to fight. The combat revolve around breaking enemy's posture bar so you can start juggling them for as long as you can including bosses, they only start recovery after you stop attacking for awhile. The voice acting is great, it's like a comedy anime, there are some cutscenes with character portraits and they look quite good, combat musics are alright nothing special. The game is quite short, a few missions each with a couple of fight rooms and a boss fight, first clear for each character should be around 6h with all collectibles (rescue employees), play on Easy and Normal first so you can buy all the skills before heading to Hard. There are some extra contents after you finish the game on Hard with both characters, a tower climb mode like Bloody Palace, a boss rush and a secret ??? mode. Honestly this game is a steal on sale, the combat is so good other low quality parts don't even matter or bothering, you can pay more for other "Action" Game and get worse combat than this. Highly recommended if you like Character Action Games and want a title with solid combat and no jankiness. Can't wait to see the Dev's next project. Edit: Get Card Rush Lv2 for Asaru ASAP, it will trivialize the entire game, just mash attack + manual detonate and it will shreds all types of enemies. For Amelia get Block + Thunderbolt Corridor, you're practically invincible, GM Blast Buster when in Super Amelia will destroy anything on the screen.
