The gameplay is centered around a parry and deflect mechanic that players find engaging, particularly in boss encounters. However, many feel that the overall combat system is too simplistic and lacks valuable mechanics for practice against regular enemies, suggesting a need for more diverse attack options to enhance the experience.
