“Aside from that small thing, I highly recommend this game. It packs a punch within its short runtime and has plenty of extras such as a speedrun mode and an endless mode if you want to delve deeper into the game's excellent mechanics.”
“Good game, well worth the 3 dollars; the gameplay is super satisfying, between the movement, attacks, and feedback from them.”
“Incredible combat with every move in your toolset having its place and viability, and just enough mechanics to not feel overwhelming.”
“In regards to the gameplay, it feels a bit like one of those character-action flash games you might see in 2012, but with fleshed out movement and combat that is fun to play with even when just button-mashing.”
“Unless I missed something, I didn’t see a combo/move list (that could totally be my fault), which led to me learning about the blue bar mechanic in the final level, which was slightly annoying.”
“The aesthetic is good and I like it; it gives you an edgy and bloody aura, although the gore was a bit exaggerated for me, but it didn't influence my gameplay much.”
