Review from Steam

I would definitely recommend this game if you are patient and willing to repeat things until you beat them, or enjoyed titles like Dark Souls, Elden Ring, or Sekiro. Having played games like Dark Souls myself, I really appreciate the more technical combat in this game, with different moves, combos, abilities, etc. The combat is very fun and once you get skilled at it you can look awesome pulling off fancy moves and generally running circles around bad guys making fools of them. And then you get to a boss fight and those are intense! So many cool warriors to battle, and you have to be FAST or get annihilated, because they will be pulling the fancy moves on YOU! Learning to stay alive and fight these demons and heroes on an even footing feels pretty awesome when you get there. Big fights against these cool historical characters leave me breathless and exhilarated after I finally conquer them. Very cool story with a historical basis and fantasy elements, every item has a little lore and you can look at models/descriptions of every monster & important character you meet. The cute girls in this game are a bonus too, of course! ;) I also enjoy the mission system, breaking the game into stages that you complete with optional side stages. I have heard that the missions are repetitive, with reused areas, but in my experience it is not near the extent I have heard. I have seen some somewhat more generic areas used multiple times, but this is more common on the shorter side missions. Also, even if you are on a stage that is reused from a previous one, the enemies and treasure are in different places, and the route you have to take is often different too. Main missions don't seem to ever repeat areas, although sometimes main mission areas are reused. However this is under the pretext of returning to that same place to do something else, which isn't a problem. I personally haven't had too much difficulty or frustration overcoming any challenges in the game thus far, although I have yet to take on anything beyond the first run through the story. There is one boss relatively early on that can paralyze you and leave you to helplessly be defeated which can be very frustrating if you aren't prepared, but the game provides ways to mitigate paralysis through craftable and lootable items, alongside a skill you can invest in. I personally got stuck on a giant frog boss that seemed to be able to kill me instantly anywhere in the room, but once I realized the greatest basic strategy in the game I was eventually able to conquer him. Try to stay behind the boss, hit him a few times every now and then, and dodge attacks. Don't be afraid to block if you have to, it can save your life especially when you don't have room or time to dodge. The window of invincibility on dodges is very very small so don't count on it to save you, try to move to where the attacks are leaving or at least not going. It's intimidating, but staying close to the boss can be safer than running back sometimes. Many levels also have nasty traps and enemy placements to increase the odds of you getting suddenly defeated. Keep an eye out for these, and also any way you can use the enemies and terrain to your advantage. Keep well stocked on ammo, and spells and ninjutsu when you get them. Remember, make all the necessary preparations, and don't be afraid to play dirty. They will.
Have the courage to swing the sword!

Review from Steam

This is the game youtuber Phil "DarksydePhil" Burnell was playing when he jerked it on stream so I'd say this game is pretty tight.
