This Game Is Outstanding I’ve seen a few negative reviews, and while I understand that experiences may vary, I feel the need to strongly counter a lot of the harsh criticism. My experience with this game has been the complete opposite — and honestly, it has been one of the most refreshing and unique action games I’ve played in years. This is not just “good for a solo developer.” This is genuinely incredible on its own merits. 1) Combat – The Best Part of the Entire Game Calling the combat “jank” couldn’t be further from the truth. For me, the combat system is the standout feature — fast, tight, responsive, and unlike anything else in the indie fighting-action space. ✔ Enemies are meant to be aggressive This isn’t button-mashing or a hack-and-slash where you just hold attack. The aggression of enemies forces you to stay sharp, stay mobile, and learn the actual patterns — like a blend between Sekiro, Sifu, and classic beat-‘em-ups. The result is: High-skill gameplay Fast reaction times Real growth as you learn enemy patterns When it clicks, it feels incredible. ✔ Animations are readable once you spend time learning them This is not a brainless spam-fest. The telegraphs are there, but this game expects you to engage, not mash. Once you learn each enemy type: You can predict their chains You can perfect dodge consistently You start feeling the flow And that flow is what makes the combat special. ✔ Dodge → Parry limitation is intentional The game is designed so that you commit to your defensive choice. This prevents abuse of dodging into instant parries and keeps the combat grounded and rhythmic. It’s the exact opposite of jank — it’s discipline-based combat. ✔ Some attacks requiring parries is actually brilliant design The mix of dodge-able, block-able, and parry-only attacks is what sets this game apart. It ensures: Variety Skill expression Real mastery Nothing feels lazy or random — the system rewards practice. ✔ Assist Mode is optional and does help Even if slow-down is not perfect on every frame, it absolutely gives new players more reaction time, and the fact that it's optional means the game supports both casual and hardcore players. 2) Progression – Simple but Effective Yes, the fighting styles aren’t wildly different, but they ARE distinct in gameplay feeling: ✔ Style differences matter One is defensive and parry-focused One is aggressive with disarms One mixes grapples and explosive movement Once you commit to a style and learn its nuances, the differences become very clear. It’s much closer to character styles in fighting games than “three skins with moves.” 3) Game Length – It’s Not About Hours, It’s About Intensity Being an EA game obviously is to short in current state but i still believe the game is intentionally tight, punchy, and replay-able. It’s not a 12-hour slog filled with filler. ✔ A short game isn’t a bad game This game focuses on: Fast pacing High intensity Zero filler Bosses that actually push you Every level feels handcrafted, not stretched. ✔ Replay value i can already predict comes from mastery Higher difficulties completely change how the combat feels. Once you understand the movement and parry timing, this game will become insanely addictive to replay. Graphics, Music, and Performance – Underrated as Hell ✔ Graphics are stylized on purpose It’s not trying to be ultra-realistic — it’s going for a stylized, gritty, almost comic-inspired look. And it works. The animation work alone is insane for a solo developer. ✔ Music fits the gameplay Is it orchestral AAA sound? No. Is it energetic, rhythmic, and fitting? Yes — especially during the boss fights. ✔ Performance is stable On a mid-range PC, the game runs buttery smooth, and the feel of 60–144 FPS combat is phenomenal. And it’s important to remember: this is an Early Access title. What’s already here is impressive, but what’s coming is even more exciting. The foundation is rock-solid, and you can clearly see the vision taking shape. With the developer actively updating, tuning, and expanding the game, the potential for growth is enormous. If the current version is already this unique, fluid, and polished in its core mechanics, then the full release could be something truly special Conclusion – A Unique, Masterful Indie Gem While some players may struggle with the learning curve, this game offers something most modern titles don’t: True mechanical depth Fast, fluid, rewarding combat Distinct fighting styles No filler, no artificial padding An indie vision that feels genuinely original It’s stylish, challenging, and extremely satisfying once things click. If you’re looking for an easy mash-fest, maybe look elsewhere. But if you want a game that values timing, precision, and mastery? This game is absolutely incredible. One of the most unique indie beat-’em-ups in years

This quality of combat is rare these days. And with this quality in Early Access, 1.0 is going to be great. Edit: Brother, please make this game better than Ninja Gaiden 4, because you are my only hope now.

Excellent combat system, very excited to see what the finished game looks like. Honestly, with more time in the oven, this will stand up there with the best action combat system on the market. It just needs a little more polish and more content (levels, enemies, bosses, bloody palace, environments). Even in it's current form it's absolutely worth the price to just play through the different difficulties and go for higher ranks. Would very much like to see a form of wind path / enemy step added; it can get a little janky if you are falling on top of an enemy. Wall splats would be a great addition as well. Overall an easy recommend to any fan of action games. DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Bayo, FF16...I have thousands of hours in these games, and this is one of the only indie action games with the potential to reach that quality of combat.

For those who played God Hand back in the PS2 days, this game feels like its true spiritual successor. It’s perfect for players who love mashing buttons and pulling off nonstop, over-the-top combos. The downside is that the game was clearly built with combat in mind, while everything else feels poorly optimized and underdeveloped. Still, at its current price, it’s a great pick for anyone who enjoys this genre and wants to relive the adrenaline of classic beat ‘em ups

Promising 3D brawler from a solo developer. Has that certain PS2 / Early PS3 charm to it in all its jankiness. Fighting against the regular enemies is fun and fluid spectacle. Animations and sound effects have a good weight to them which makes the fighting satisfying. The early access-version has just enough of stages with regular enemies which introduces new mechanics each time so it doesn't get repetitive. There are three fighting styles to choose from, an admirable feat, but even with different combos and finishers they don't feel too different from each other. Each one has their special use, though I'm not too sure if having one style (Loong) focus on blocking while the other style (Tiger) can do grab counters. Figuring out the balance between these two was one difficulty I had with the bosses. Loong was my most used style, and Tiger in boss fights if they used grab attacks often. And speaking of bosses, at my first playthrough I didn't really like them. Hard to predict moves and combos that take half of your health in an instant. The last boss in the early access being the most insane one, who I've only defeated by using items (and accidentally glitching when he just stood still). But the more I play the more I learn his tricks, so I trust the developer to fine tune the bosses however they see fit. Fun game which I look forward to in later updates. Makes me happy that indie developers can now do 3D beat 'em ups and not just 2D. Here are some small issues I found by playing, in case the developer ever sees this. • "Break" text goes over the style symbol, making it hard to see which style is active. This has been fixed in later update by having the styles in different colors. • Motorcycle enemies are hard to lock-on to. This has been fixed as well. • Kai sometimes attacks way too soon just after the cutscene has ended, even when the player character can't be moved. Has been fixed in a recent update. All the small issues are now fixed, big respect to the developer, thanks!
