This game suplexed my balls into my own ass. Every single enemy will fight differently. Either they suck as much as you do and die instantly or are basically god and bend you over in an instant. There is no in-between.

after a very quick few games of duels I can say that its a satisfying game but it could really use some sort of tutorial for new players so people can actually understand everything about the combat before just getting their ass kicked because they didn't know you could block or dodge (I was using a controller and its so wack to have RT as the shove when the attack button is X by default considering you need the thumb stick to change the angle you swing at so I changed attack to RB so I could actually swing from all angles while still being able to shove)
