Fun to play, but annoying by the end. It has great potential but still needs polishing in some areas.

beats you down but eventually opens up in a great way. i had a stellar time overcoming it, and i want to play it multiple times now.

you know a game is good when you get 10 pages of text about in-game mechanics the moment you go through the intro level

this game is so so close to being a masterpiece. the offensive side of the combat is fantastic. Fun and satisfying with room to just make it up and still get rewarded with dopamine. There really should be an option to bind EX moves to a button in my opinion. I struggle to do them when i want to and accidentally do them all the time from just inputting quickly. Visuals I have no notes. Looks peak. Sound is similarly no notes. Its not the music i would choose for a game like this but I cant say whats there is bad. Voice acting is also phenomenal. The issue is there are several points this game is lacking in, and they are lacking HARD. There's an overall sense of jank to a lot of things that really could use polishing, but you would hope this polish should be able to be fixed via a patch. Some crashes, weirdness in AI, and some other The game is hard as balls, but most of that comes from the lack of defensive tools. You have a dodge with limited Invul frames, and a parry which you need to input using the stick. The dodge is unreliable and doesn't really help when you are sandwiched, and the parry is way too risky to be used in those same situations. This leads to frequent moments of getting knocked down one time and just being put into a situation that feels unfair and leads to you getting hit a ton My hope to fix this would be to please for the love of god, add a block button. Make it so you can guard attacks with chip damage as a low risk option to deal with the absolute bombardment the game throws at you. It could also act as a potential input to parrying which would make it easier to do than needing to use the stick to parry. I get you wanna be third strike, but this game does not work with a 3s style parry. Another thing that i genuinely do not understand, why do boss-like enemies not have collision? I can understand why groups of enemies don't, but the bosses that require you to dodge from side to side and parry very precisely do not work as well when you are able to side swap by just doing a standing combo or a heavy move. Its a minor annoyance, but they do add up. Also please add a DP cuz i think it would be funny I wanna say this game is something special, but as of now it feels like a cool idea that someone else could do way better. There is so much potential in this concept, world, and system, but I can't say its fully there. Please don't abandon this game.

This game is difficult but very fun. Dont just give up after you die, chain combos. use your EX sparingly, time your supers for heals. insanely fun. dope presentation. only thing that would make it better is seeing through walls that cover the screen sometimes. try it out
