14 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is characterized by its slow pace and linear progression, appealing to players who prefer higher tension and easy-to-execute combat. While the combat mechanics are simple yet skill-based, some players find the overall experience cumbersome and lacking depth, particularly in an action game context. The game offers interesting mechanics and solid animations, but may not satisfy those seeking fast-paced action or complex gameplay.
