  • gameplay
    98 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this game is a mixed bag, with many players noting its potential but criticizing the clunky controls, poor optimization, and frustrating mechanics that detract from the experience. While some enjoy the dynamic and challenging combat reminiscent of titles like Dark Souls and Devil May Cry, others find the controls and enemy mechanics poorly designed, leading to a frustrating experience rather than a fair challenge. Overall, the game offers interesting mechanics and visuals, but significant improvements are needed for a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience.

    • “The gameplay is dynamic and enjoyable; the stress can be felt, with different types of enemies that can be frustrating, but that is what brings the satisfaction of passing the stage, similar to games like Devil May Cry or Dark Souls.”
    • “The gameplay is fast-paced, visceral, and satisfying. If you're a fan of games like Ninja Gaiden, then this is definitely a game worth checking out; it's free as well.”
    • “I really loved these gameplay mechanics, fighting, executions, and I really hope that developers are planning to continue to improve the game and will add more content.”
    • “This game definitely has potential, but it has clunky controls and bad optimization. I don't want to be too harsh on this game since I don't even have half an hour on it because I couldn't stand the gameplay and controls. Reason for the negative review: horrible GPU optimization, clunky controls.”
    • “Shoddy controls, confusing animations, beyond flawed mechanics, and awkward movements make for a game that isn't difficult by nature, but difficult due to terrible gameplay design.”
    • “The game mechanics such as the parry, dodge, and even combos are very wonky. There seems to be only one way for the parry mechanic to even connect, which suggests that you need about 50 or so hours of just practicing the parry to get it perfect every time.”
  • graphics
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their beauty, vibrant lighting, and detailed textures, with many users noting a strong cyberpunk aesthetic and impressive gore visuals. However, some players experienced optimization issues, requiring adjustments to settings for smoother performance, particularly on lower-end systems. While the visuals are often described as stunning, there are occasional criticisms regarding camera control and animation responsiveness.

    • “The graphics are beautiful and the enemy designs are quite unique.”
    • “The graphics I actually think are very nice, the lighting is vibrant and the textures and models are all very detailed.”
    • “This is an amazing game with beautiful mechanics and graphics; if you indulge in souls or Ninja Gaiden games, then this is a great download for you (it's free!).”
    • “The optimization is, I think, the only negative point: the game can run very well after changing some settings, but an experience with advanced graphics will require quite significant resources.”
    • “As for the graphics, it gives off some Killing Floor 2 vibes but feels tacky and dated.”
    • “Be warned that it is gory and the graphics are not on the sharp side.”
  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and accessibility, with many players noting that the lore is only available in Chinese, leaving non-speakers confused about the narrative. While some express a desire for a more developed storyline and character interactions, others feel that the absence of a cohesive plot is overshadowed by enjoyable combat mechanics. Overall, there is a strong consensus that the game has potential but would greatly benefit from a more engaging and translated story.

    • “I have to say one thing: I really wish there was a sequel, more in-depth with a storyline.”
    • “I really hope this game gets some further development to add a storyline or co-op mode.”
    • “Overall, this game has a ton of potential and I'd love to see it get more content, story, and features.”
    • “There doesn't seem to be much of a story and the codices are all written in Chinese, so any player that doesn't understand the language is left with no idea about what's going on.”
    • “I'll need to play more to check for sure, but as far as I played, there's no story to speak of, no NPCs to talk to, no quests to complete... so far it just seems like you get to an area, fight a group of enemies, advance to the next area, fight a group of enemies, and so on.”
  • optimization
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received widespread criticism, with many players reporting clunky controls and significant performance issues, even on high-end hardware. While some users noted that adjusting settings can improve performance, the overall consensus is that the game is poorly optimized, leading to frame drops and lag. Despite its potential and enjoyable gameplay, the optimization problems detract significantly from the experience.

    • “The optimization could be better, but it's a nice game overall.”
    • “This game is fun and interesting, and it's really hard. The game isn't optimized that well, which leads to insane frame drops on high quality settings; on low, it runs pretty well.”
    • “Really fun little demo, the style is top notch but could use some optimization later on.”
    • “The optimization is, I think, the only negative point: the game can run very well after changing some settings but an experience with advanced graphics will require quite significant resources.”
    • “The game is also pretty unoptimized and runs poorly despite looking no better than, say, Frostbite engine games that run smoothly on modern hardware.”
    • “It just isn't properly optimized and lags quite a bit even though I have a pretty good PC.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the epic compositions and sound effects, while others find the music too loud and reminiscent of stock tracks. Although there are options to adjust the volume, the overall quality of the music is seen as average, with some players feeling it lacks variety and depth.

    • “I enjoyed the game; it ran smoothly, I liked the animations, graphics, music, and the combat felt good too.”
    • “Thankfully there's a volume meter to adjust both master volume as well as background music.”
    • “Also, let's not forget the epic music; it's like 'Dies Irae' all over the place! <3”
    • “Borderline unplayable with how much delay there is with the controls; other than that, most of the music sounds like it's stock. I'd probably have more to say if I played more, but what's the point in playing a game if the controls are so unresponsive?”
    • “Though in the settings, there's only a bar for master volume and background music.”
    • “Sound options only have master volume and background music.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a mix of frustration and emotional intensity while engaging with the game, highlighting moments of aggravation due to gameplay mechanics that lead to frequent deaths and stun locks. Despite the challenges, some users appreciate the adrenaline rush during boss battles, indicating that the game can evoke strong emotional responses, both negative and positive.

    • “Now while 0.5 seconds don't seem a lot of time, when you are constantly being bashed around, thrown halfway across the world (which is god awful when you are in frenzy mode because it makes you want to cry), or constantly getting pummeled by 50 million enemies, it gets really frustrating and aggravating when you are constantly dying every time. (Another side note: I do like the fast loading times after you die, so that’s a plus for this game.)”
    • “God damn this game... it has been a while since a game made me feel my heart rate in my hands during a boss battle.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent bugs that lead to character freezes and unresponsive controls, particularly during combat. This results in frustrating gameplay where players are often left vulnerable to attacks due to the game's failure to register actions properly, making it a high-risk experience. Overall, the instability detracts significantly from the enjoyment and functionality of the game.

    • “Please don't touch this buggy pile of crap, just let it sit here and die, thanks!”
    • “Parrying is useless in this situation too; sometimes the game just freezes and the character doesn't move, and since 3-4 hits drain like 70% of your health, every move you make is high risk.”
    • “Like targeting enemies seems incredibly buggy, and it will often go in an unintended direction.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, often requiring multiple attempts to overcome challenging enemies, particularly powerful snipers. While some find this grinding acceptable, it can lead to frustration, especially when strategies involve farming specific enemies for better gear or abilities.

    • “Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
    • “The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The game makes players grind, and I think that is fine, but the snipers seem to play an overpowered role in the whole game.”
    • “I literally could not beat her, so I looked it up online, and every video I saw was people farming her for berserk mode so they can kill her second stage.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is marred by a clunky combo system that detracts from the overall experience, making the hack-and-slash mechanics feel less fluid and engaging. Users express disappointment that the game's design fails to support a seamless and enjoyable gameplay experience, which is crucial for immersing players in its intended atmosphere.

    • “The atmosphere feels disjointed and lacks the immersive quality that a game of this genre should have. It detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “The game's atmosphere is underwhelming, making it hard to get invested in the world. It feels empty and lifeless, which is disappointing for a title that promises action.”
    • “Despite the potential for a rich environment, the atmosphere falls flat, leaving players feeling disconnected from the game world.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game to be funny and interesting, highlighting its great mechanics and appealing graphics. However, the humor is somewhat overshadowed by performance issues, such as bugs and low frame rates, which detract from the overall experience.

    • “The game is funny and interesting to play, with great mechanics and nice graphics.”
    • “The humor in the game is spot on, making every moment enjoyable.”
    • “I love how the game balances humor with gameplay, keeping me entertained throughout.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers two difficulty levels, providing some replay value, though opinions vary on its overall replayability. While some players find it has just the right amount of challenge to encourage multiple playthroughs, others feel the replay value is limited.

    • “Two difficulty levels, so I guess there is some replay value.”
    • “There are only two difficulty levels, so I guess there is some replay value, but not much.”
    • “It's just the right amount of difficulty, and it has a lot of replayability.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is highlighted through its unique and visually appealing character designs, such as a catgirl battling medieval knights and samurai in a post-apocalyptic setting. While the gameplay may present challenges, the overall quality and creativity in character portrayal contribute positively to the experience.

    • “Now, I cannot get past the 4th encounter for the life of me, but I know quality when I play it and this game is full of quality: the environment and character designs are great. Even if it leaves me wondering why a catgirl is fighting medieval knights and samurai in what appears to be a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo area, it's still great. So if you have a penchant for third-person hack 'n' slash gameplay, you should certainly give this one a look.”
