July 2025

A rare example of a game developer who understood the assignment. You won't find the usual AAA stuff here. There's no open world to explore, no towers to climb, there isn't 500 side quests, no collectables, not 60 different types of guns, not 30 different types of gameplay, no conversation trees, no 'choices matter' story telling. No crazy hour long cinematic cutscenes. No skill tree. No character customisation. No inventory management. No forced puzzle sections. No forced stealth sections. The game is: Sword fighting. And.... That's it. Aside from the visuals and more modern/refined gameplay mechanics and modern features like autosaves, it could have easily been a PS2 game in terms of how 'back to basics' it is. And I mean that in a good way. The game/devs basically seem to be saying is: "What we got here is a core gameplay loop that we've polished until you can see your reflection in it, and that's it, we're so confident you'll like it, that we've based the entire game on just that." There's levels, a simple plot, some characters, a light hearted tone, short basic still frame cutscenes at the start/end of each level. Levels consist of small areas where you fight enemies until they're all defeated, then move onto the next area. And each level ends with a boss fight. It sounds simple but it is just really well done and easily one of the most enjoyable combat systems I've ever tried. One of those 'simple to learn but hard to master' type gameplay loops where the more you practice the better you get, and the harder the enemies and bosses become. It's a combination of getting faster with your reflexes to do the right moves at the right time, learning patterns and behaviours of enemies, and using every trick the game gives you (and there's a lot of them, including many environment based attacks) to your advantage at the right time. And when you get it right, visually it looks great, and it feels/looks like an action scene from a movie, and in many respects the fighting combat system seems to use 'movie logic' for how things work, which is kinda why it's so enjoyable. The game has a very comedic and light hearted tone. Enemies don't even die as far as I can tell, they just fall over. Lots of funny voice lines and banter between the main character and enemies even mid fight or after defeating them. Main character is fun and likeable. The other characters so far have been entertaining too. Music is great. Visually the game has a nice style that suits the game and it's well executed. So yeah. Overall. Just a very straight forward no bull fun game, recommended. If you enjoy the first level, you'll love it since the rest of the game, as it's just more of that.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu*ck, this game hard as f*ck! From the very beginning looks like Sekiro for kids, but in reality this game will whip your ass, just get prepared for it! Funny, atmospheric and challenging game. Combat system just perfect! Absolutely love it! p.s. If anyone knows something close to this, please recommend me

epic game you must learn to play by its systems and its not afraid to kill you very quickly. but if you know what you're doing you can cause hell it's also hilarious and lesbians

Nov. 2024

It's been said before, but honestly the only downside of the game is that it's so fun and unique in presentation that you just can't help but want more of it. These are the kind of games you pray get a AAA budget, but can only exist in an environment where creators can make the game they truly want to make. It truly does know itself, and is full of wit and pasión! <3

I realised there aren't many reviews from people with as many hours in the game as me! So I am writing this to say: yes, it's short the first time through, but it is highly replayable and one of my go-to games for picking up after a month when I want to play something simple and fun for an hour. The combat is simple but really fun, very effectively balanced around a good core concept - you can't effectively fight multiple enemies at once, but you have a *lot* of fun options for escaping, distracting and stunning so that you can handle them one at a time. Great game.
