Even tho i recommend this game be warned this game isn't a fun kind of difficult like how dark souls is which pushes you into trying new strategies. first cut rather has enemies attack quicker than you can, block without aiming in a certain direction or sometime have greater range than you. The difficulty of this game is really, really hard like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard, you will die over and over again sometimes due to skill a lot of the time due to the game being bs. Look I might just be saying this with just a skill issue. but this is still a good game, with beautiful art, animations, music and sound. it's just the overall difficulty letting it down as i've found painless being the closest setting to something more akin to how the player controls even then enemies attack faster. Please make sure you know what you're in for when buying the game.
