The gameplay features decent fighting mechanics and strong interactivity, but suffers from issues such as a lack of inventory customization and poor movement controls, including no running option and awkward turning. While the simplistic design presents engaging challenges, the overall execution leaves players frustrated with missed hits and subpar biking mechanics.
“Good fighting mechanics and the interactivity is awesome.”
“The design of the game is very straightforward, but the nuance with which the simplistic mechanics are put into challenges is excellent.”
“A decent fighting mechanic.”
“Let's start off by saying the inventory didn't work the same; it had no settings so you can't change your gameplay or make yourself bigger. So when big Michael Myers comes at you, you won't be hitting his face anytime soon. When I hit the people trying to fight me, I 'missed' when I clearly hit them in the face.”
“There is a single fight mechanic.”
“The movement feels weird as well, especially the turning. There also seems to be no running mechanic in the game.”
