The gameplay is described as clunky and disorienting, with players feeling abruptly thrown into encounters and forced to switch characters frequently, which disrupts the flow. While the mechanics can be confusing initially, they become clearer with progression; however, the lack of a lock-on system for melee combat is noted as a significant drawback. Overall, the twin-stick controls do not translate well to the hack-and-slash style, leading to a less satisfying experience.
- “The gameplay may be confusing at first, but it definitely makes more sense when you proceed.”
- “And the way the parry and attack mechanics work feels like there needs to be a lock-on system, but there isn't one.”
- “Gameplay is a lot clunky for my taste.”
- “It just throws you into the game with a character and you seem to teleport from one encounter to another. Just as you start to get the feel for the character and their mechanics, they change the character on you, and now you have to play this other character whether you like it or not. Usually, I like twin-stick games, but when it's a melee hack and slash, it doesn't really work very well.”
