    The gameplay is characterized by a janky feel and a lack of polish, particularly in localization, but the core mechanics, especially the parry and riposte system reminiscent of Sekiro, are well-executed and enjoyable.

    • “It kinda looks a little janky, the localization is approximative and it definitely lacks a lot of polish, but the core parry/riposte gameplay a la Sekiro is really well made.”
    • “The gameplay feels janky and unrefined.”
    • “It kind of looks a little janky; the localization is approximate and it definitely lacks a lot of polish, but the core parry/riposte gameplay, reminiscent of Sekiro, is really well made.”

  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature a unique and well-executed art style that evokes optimism among players, despite some performance issues and untranslated UI elements.

    • “The visuals were cool and it made me feel optimistic for what to follow, given this has mostly positive reviews on Steam.”
    • “The game has a really unique art style which is very well done, and all done in the Unity engine!”
    • “Most of the UI isn't translated from Chinese, graphics settings don't do anything, and the performance is terrible.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is hindered by incomplete translations, with many items and quests remaining in Chinese, which detracts from the overall experience. While the lore items effectively piece together the narrative, some dialogue feels awkward, and technical issues like cut-off descriptions can disrupt immersion. Despite these flaws, the smooth combat and frequent checkpoints help mitigate gameplay frustrations.

    • “The lore items do a good job of piecing the story together, creating an engaging narrative that keeps you invested in the game.”
    • “Combat is extremely smooth, and while the intro scene could use translation, the overall storytelling is compelling and immersive.”
    • “Despite some minor glitches, the game has checkpoints everywhere and allows you to save, making the experience of exploring the story enjoyable.”
    • “Most items and quests are still in Chinese, like the team randomly decided to abandon it.”
    • “I wish the intro scene was translated, and some of the dialogue is a bit weird. The lore items do a good job of piecing the story together; sadly, I don't think there's a way to scroll down the page at the moment, so some of the lore descriptions get cut off.”
