Found this by accident. Insanely addictive gameplay with nice art style. It is hard but you get used to it. Definitely recommended.

Finally a game without hundreds of combos that still provides a challenge. In this game you'll have to strategically (or not) kill enemies to progress from a section. Whether you go left, grab the ladder, and spin kick every enemy dead. Or you go right, take the sword, and slice through several enemies.. whatever works just works

At a basic level it's fun. You run around, grab random things like chairs, knives, rifles, carrots, frozen squirrels, cap america shield (using this one is crazy satisfying) etc. and kill enemies with them. "Weapons" have different moves so at first it's random but later, as enemies get more complex (range, shielded, deadly shielded etc.) you need to choose the right tool to deal with them. Variety is impressive and till the end you'll be finding new things. What also helps keep the game fresh till the credits is level design. I was surprised how varied the challenges were making the whole game feel a bit more than just running and smacking things. Most section also have more than one way to deal with them. Finding secret wolves was super fun as reaching them was always a dexterity puzzle.
Things that keeps the game from being truly amazing is slight inconsistency in attacks. There's an auto-lock mechanism and it feels like all attacks are checking for that and not physical contact. In other words sometimes it feels you should hit but you don't. It's maybe 4% of all actions in the game but in such a fast game where you die instantly it can become annoying. Not to the point you want to stop playing but still. Another thing is the camera. Sometimes it zooms out too much or angle is weird and "platforming" feels more complicated than actually is as it's hard to understand the space you are in. The last thing is the addition of some out of place/time elements that are fun to use but break immersion. For such a cartoony game story is pretty grim and hits some serious tones and those items just trivialize it a bit too much for my taste.
To sum it up it's an interesting take on "one hit" game and if some of the fiddlyness would be ironed out it could become a classic in my book. But it's not so it's "just" a good game that I can recommend if you’re looking for a fast game that won’t feel repetitive even if you get stuck in some area.

This is a really good and challenging video game. Obviously, it can be compared to other projects in a similar genre, but it stands on its own. The only minor issue I would mention is related to the control visibility. In the heat of battle, you could lose track of your navigation.

Generally I consider this game to be good. This style of chaotic combat is always enjoyable. It is visually nice. The story is ok, it is serviceable.
I'm just annoyed by the targeting system. It is the reason I'm skipping the game for now.
The lock-on targets the enemies in front of you, but if you have a melee weapon that makes you lunge sometimes it will skip the close enemy and target the far one, and to attack the enemy skipped you should look in their direction. I find this to be an unintuitive, because by time you changed direction you are likely dead. I think it is better to have the controls for aiming separated from the movement. It doesn't need to be free-aim at least provide angle control for your aim.
I may give the game another chance in the future. Maybe with a controller the targeting issue will be less problematic, though I doubt it.

أرى ان اللعبة ممتازة، اسلوب العاب القتال العشوائية ممتع ومضبوط وهو سبب شرائي لها. رسومات اللعبة جميلة. القصة عادية لكن تؤدي الغرض.
أزعجني اسلوب اختيار الاعداء في اللعبة. ازعجني لدرجة اني بأسحب على اللعبة بسببه.
تحصل ان اولوية اختيار العدو تعتمد على اتجاهك، يحصل مع بعض الاسلحة اللي تخليك تقفز انها تعطي الاولية للعدو البعيد على القريب ولو بترجع للقريب لازم تنظر لجهته. أرى ان هذا الاسلوب غير مناسب، لأنك غالبا بتصير ميت متى ما صرت على اتجاهه. ارى ان الافضل في مثل هذه الحالات ان التصويب والتحكم يكونون مفصولين. مو شرط يكون التصويب يدوي بالكامل بس على الاقل تتحكم بزاوية التصويب.
ممكن ارجع للعبة مستقبلا، يدة التحكم ممكن تخفف من المشكلة لكن اشك في فعاليتها.

This game is very fun, has a lot of options for completing most or all of a level and is difficult. VERY difficult. So difficult I almost didn't give a positive review because it annoyed the hell out of me. How difficult is "so difficult" and " VERY difficult"? There's an achievement for dying 100 times in a level and I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ have it. There are a couple portions where it shifts perspective or there's background option blocking your view .and that can throw things off but for the most part it's a good game and the story starting around act 3 made all my annoyance at the game bearable.
