In many ways this is a perfect game. I love the simplicity of the mechanics. The stages and character customization are well designed. The bot fighting styles are unique and challenging. The art and animation style keeps me coming back. But boy do I yearn to play this game with my friends... Remote play is clunky. I would LOVE to see multiplayer added to the game.

Where do I begin. I NEVER write reviews but I just HAD to for this game because I always come back to it as a chill relaxing game to test my skills and reaction times for fun. I say I am decent at this game but can't always win against the master which is how it should be. the dev really cares about this game and U can tell. From the amount of detail from water splashing, grass being cut thinner when it comes in contact with the blade, using campfires to set enemies ablaze and not to mention the skill of the bots are accurate with customizable enemies like defensive, offensive, mixed and so on you can choose to fight whatever you choose I tend to focus on random so I am able to expect nothing but prepare for everything because one moment your fighting someone extremely aggressive and next someone very tame and ready to just exploit your move. One of my favorite parts has to be the the music, scenery and atmosphere of all the map locations. For a video game they are actually so beautiful and make me so immersed with it and fits the style PERFECTLY. To conclude this essay that for some reason I decided to write at 2 am without ever usually writing reviews what I am trying to say is that its perfect and totally WORTH your money. Whatever The dev/team was going with here NAILED it. The blood and gore is perfect, one cut ends it all.

GET THIS GAAAAAAMMMMMEEE My god this game is fantastic. Its simple, hit and don't get hit. Attacks kill on one hit and you get killed on one hit. Everything from the music, the atmosphere, the controls, and the combat is just top notch. I highly recommend you play with a friend and either duel or play the amazing but very difficult scenario campaign. You will die very often but you end up entering a flow state where you're in an old samurai film. This game is well worth the money and often goes on sale.
