I don't think Nix the RoboSamurai's getting his daughter back, because I cannot percive this game as complete. The only good thing about this game is the fact it isn't ripping off DMC, and there's no parry, so there's that. Otherwise, it's basically a garry's mod ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I should've known this game wouldn't be good the moment I saw the dude roll forwards...backwards.
[h1] Story: N/A [/h1]
You are a mechanic that became a street samurai, or whatever, to save his duaghter. Whatever.
[h1] Graphics: B [/h1]
The graphics aren't really that bad, but it is what it is.
[h1] Music: C [/h1]
It's there to keep you from running in silence, but unremarkable otherwise.
[h1] Gameplay: D [/h1]
So this guy dosn't do what the other did and say I didn't explain why this game is ass, I am using bullet points.
- There is no need to have four ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stances since they all do things the one sword could do; power is redundant, control is just crowd control, ranged isn't even ranged, but advancing kicks, which couldn't been on it's own button, or a dash attack, and agile is just stupid; it gives you a double jump and wall run. They should all just be one moveset, instead of 4 different styles that basically amounts to more or less damage (and it's weakness system is also ridiculous; that's not something that should be in a CAG; it's better than the one in DmC, but that's it.
- The Camera is a nightmare; because the enemies are all flying bugs, you asically have to aim upwards, and raising the fov makes paying attention to them even worse. This all could've been resolved with a camera system that's NOT OVER THE SHOULDER.
-The movement's waaay too loose for what the game's going for; you kinda just slide around everywhere like it's warframe, but with a moveset that's a mess.
-Because of how hitstun and hurtboxes work, fighting enemies is just not entertaining, and while I was interested in seeing whether he gets his daughter back, I gave up and just started running past as much as I could....and then I got an achievement for a pacifist award. I'm sorry, but if somebody accidentally does something that's runs counter to what action games are about and they get an achievement from it, your combat just isn't it.
[h1] Weapons: D [/h1]
Like I said, the weapon you get is terrible. This is the sort of game that ought to be a successor to Ps2 Shinobi, because you only get one, which isn't necessarily bad, but the bottom line is that your stances are basically the same kind of slashes (for the most part), with extra damage, which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clunky and irritating.
[h1] Enemy Design: D [/h1]
All of the enemies are robo bugs, but I refuse to elaborate on them, because everything else about the game makes them too insufferable to actually fight. Not enjoyable at all. Before they can be dealt with, everything else would have to be improved. But above all else, they have to be unrelenting and not allow you to have your Combo Mads for a second (which isn't a problem, though I doubt it's deliberate and not just incompetence.)
[h1] Bosses: D [/h1]
From what I've seen, they're just larger enemies, so the same issues still apply.
[h1] Overall Score: D [/h1]
If you are looking to buy a Hack And Slash, I would reccomend these games instead.
Decline's Drops
Proxy Blade Zero
Jitsu Squad
Streets of Fury EX
Aztez
The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile
Assault Spy
Magenta Horizon - Neverending Harvest
....And, *sigh*... Heartless & Dreadful : Return by 72 Hours
Now, I ain't saying all of these games are of equal quality to one another, but they'll have a hell of a lot more polish than this. Although, due to the game having mostly original ideas, I imagine this dev in particular will be significantly better in a couple of years, though; WITHOUT needing to be given basic instructions.
