The gameplay is criticized for feeling overly simplistic and reminiscent of a turn-based RPG, as the lack of diverse mechanics leads to predictable enemy interactions that disrupt the flow of action. Players often find themselves vulnerable after completing their combos, detracting from the intended fast-paced experience.
- “Due to there being no other mechanics, the enemies will hit you once your own combo is finished, almost always leading to the out-of-place feeling of a turn-based hit-for-hit RPG rather than an action RPG.”
