How it feels

A rhythmic, high-skill action game where you must parry, counter, and break enemy attacks with precise timing and style.

What players say

Players praise the varied characters and satisfying combat builds but split on the game's depth. Many criticize the repetitive maps, grindy reputation and currency system, and a glide bug that remains unpatched. The forgiving parry mechanic and fun in-run combos are highlights, though some find the difficulty curve frustrating and the campaign too short.
