The combat is smooth and technically well coded, but the feedback response feels lacking, it's hard to tell at a glance what is or isn't a perfectly deflected hit, or how to react to what, it's just not very intuitive in my opinion.

got it through humble choice about 2 years ago and never really gave it a shot outside of a very limited 30 minute session where I ended up uninstalling it afterwards until today when I decided to give it another shot and I'm glad that I did as the 3 hours I spent with the game were both one of the most fun yet also one of the most excruciatingly painful that I've experienced. the story, well, exists and it's fairly simple and I wish it was a bit more developed. the gameplay is pretty much a combination of a John Wick & Jackie Chan movie with Dark Souls like & roguelike mechanics. it's both super fun & tight but also excruciatingly hard to master and the game will beat your a*ss for every single mistake that you make no matter if it's big, average or small and it will definitely make you want to either rip your eyes out or punch a hole through your wall for a new window but this high difficulty does give the game replay value as you feel encouraged to actually get good. the performance & overall stability of the entire game was close to flawless, only had a few shader related stutters which is pretty normal for a first playthrough with those specific stutters disappearing on subsequent runs (also had a few level load hitches here & there) and a weird crash close to the end of the game, outside of that the game runs at locked 60 all the time.

Stylish graphics, sometimes crashes, nothing terrible , Tough, but rewarding.

I do wish that there was a little more in the way of true counters, and I think the default control scheme is really strange feeling on controller.

Kill Bill like game - lovely animated, great soundtrack, sounds great overall.
