Ninja Theory always hold a favorite place in my heart as dev will to redefine the definition of one game genre that I like. Hack & Slash.
Their previous work like Heavenly Blade , Enslaved or even DMC show how adept they are as in both artistic direction and fun in gameplay.
So about couple years back I've heard they made this strange game which focus on Hack & Slash and also being PvP multiplayer as well.
Although , I do not remember the reason why I am not jumping on this game the first chance I get, The memory kinda muddle. But hey look!! The game cost only like 1 USD!! So let's get to it!!!
You know what's the funny? The moment I boot the game and going around the tutorial and character Bio. I am suddenly realized the reason why I'm not picking up this game in first place. Allow me to clarify further.
- The game is as you expecting, Hack & Slash. But its also a PvP and MoBA type of game which mean if you have a chance to enter a match. YOu should be able to tag team with other players and play a game of Death match, Capture the flag, King of the hill etc etc. Why using your abilities in a way its like you play Multiplayer Hack & Slash team base game. Sound fun right?...............Yeah well, Good luck with finding even a single match, Because I have been wait for 10 Mins and I can't just getting into any at all.
And guess what :) :) :) ? The game force you to play only and only a live match which mean..........Drum Roll. You can't do jack at all but waiting for the start to fall and conjured you into a middle of no where only to play a very short round, earn a coin and XP to do the usual customization and skin of the characters.
Speaking of Characters, Yes, They look "Special" are they not? That's what popped in my mind too. The summarization I could put on these characters simply is "Everyone are so special" the design really just that Everyone being "special" and no personalities at all. And by god, When I reading their Bio.....They are so.... Well.... There are one character born in rich family, Being the youngest amongst sibling, He's bored and on soul searching come to relevation and conjured bunches of best doctors to turn him into a literal angel........Sound both moronic and very unique No?
Sigh....Alright I have rampant too much. My point is. I am disappoint on this game very much. I love Ninja Theory. And while I'm sh1tting on the design choice and things here. I do really like the art direction and overall look of this game. Its unique.
So maybe if you want to ...hmmm. Feel like you own something unique but unplayable. Buy this game on the heavy discount, Like right now, Its 1 USD or less I don't know. But never go for full price, You will be in big disappointmentt.
And BTW if you want a real game with punk aesthetic, Fun characters, Fun function gameplay with very vivid color it could blind your eyes, Goes for Sunset Overdrive. That game does better than this in everyway and its Singleplayer.
