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.
