How it feels

A fast, accessible technical fighter where constant power feedback and accelerating duels create intense tactical one-on-one battles.

What players say

Players praise the unique clan system that mixes two classes for varied playstyles, but split on the combat's responsiveness. The AI can be punishing at higher levels, and some find the last boss near-impossible. The lack of online multiplayer and sparse content are common criticisms.
