How it feels

Fast-paced and violent swordplay set to heavy metal, with a punishing rogue-lite structure and a vengeful ninja theme.

What players say

Players enjoy the physics-based swordplay but find the game repetitive and short, with a few levels and a quick final boss. The combat is skillful and responsive, but the same tactics work on every enemy, and bugs like getting stuck in chests or walls force frequent reloads.
