I... don't know how to feel about this game. Concept? 10/10. It's the reason I and many others wanted this game. Execution? So so. It's a fun 30 minute time waster, but that's kind of all the game can be with how quickly you're on the ropes. Loved the dialogue, I was actually a little moved by it. Both the hero and the villain had their reasons to fight, to not give up, and both were worth cheering for. Like most games, the hero was given everything needed to try again and again in hopes of one day succeeding. The problem? You're not the hero. You're at a disadvantage the moment you show an attack, and the disadvantages stack quickly. I've seen some reviews say the AI learns too quickly, but honestly? It feels how a real life player would act. See a move once or twice, and you start to figure out how to prepare for it. That's the problem with the game in my eyes, players learn and they learn quick. It's realistic, and it hits you quickly. So, I'm leaning towards recommend here because this game does everything right for what it is. Unless there's dozens of moves, more phases, and a much bigger health bar, you can't really blame the developer. What I will blame the developer for is the price. Is $6 full price unrealistic for this? Probably not. Is it excessive? I would say so. This screams $4.99 full price at most. $3.99 full price and I'm buying it without a sale. Anyways, love the game, wish it was longer but the concept handicaps it. Would love to see an expansion on this somehow. Thank you for listening to my ted talk.

That's a cool concept and dialogues are well written, but the game is extremely short. But it's quite cheap, hence my recommendation.
