What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Something i cannot commend this game enough is the inclusion of its "speedrun mode", and unlike what you think, it doesn't add a timer, speedrunners use a program for it already, so why bother, instead, its for speedrunners sanity, Getting rid of any story, right to the gameplay, its great for streaming it spoiler to friends, but also lessens the drag on replaying it.
-great gameplay loop
👍 PROS:Pixel-perfect controls: The movement is incredibly tight, fluid, and responsive; Kai does exactly what you want him to do without any mechanical friction.Deeply satisfying combat: The unique Burst Techniques and hard-hitting melee combos give every single punch and throw an immense, impactful crunch.Audio-visual masterclass: The pixel art is gorgeous and highly expressive, backed by an absolute banger of a chiptune soundtrack that keeps your adrenaline pumping.Fair challenge loop: The stage designs strike a wonderful balance of challenging platforming and combat without resorting to cheap deaths, fully earning its Overwhelmingly Positive status.
Graphics: Beautiful 2D graphics, this game feels like it is made with love.
My controller is in perfect condition but this game has something wrong on the back end of it's grappling mechanic.
