What players say

Players praise the unique no-wall mechanic and fast-recharging meter that lead to aggressive, satisfying combat. The animation, impact feel, and character designs stand out, as does the excellent tutorial and combo trials. Early access means single-player modes are limited, but the developer is active and engaged with the community.
