How it feels

A high-speed, acrobatic action game with combo-focused combat and visceral swordplay.

What players say

Players praise the fast, fluid combat and say it balances difficulty well for newcomers, though some veterans find it easier than earlier entries. Complaints target the lock-on camera, a difficulty spike on the first boss, and Ryu sections that feel less interesting than Yakumo's.
