Toaka’s combat style feels closer to a dance than a brawl, with dashes, evasive maneuvers, and rhythmic positioning forming the backbone of every encounter.

10 of 91 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty-wise, ADEN on hard mode felt like it gave enough push back to avoid being boring, but remained chill on the whole.
