Quite frankly, when you compare this game to other arena fighters / action melee combat games, this game comes out rather poorly in comparison. It's nowhere near the quality of Hellsplit: Arena, Until You Fall, Blade & Sorcery, Gorn, Swordsman VR, or even something like Ninja Legends or Eternity Warriors VR.
The swordplay in this game is very basic. You have to match the colors (black or white) to get the maximum effect. Then you just swing your sword within the right timeframe and within the general area of the strike to parry. You don't have to be super accurate with your timing or location. It is true that you can't just wiggle your sword as you'll have to do some big strikes to get multiple enemies, however, the enemy animations are very few. You've seen one horseman, you've seen them all. They all strike the same. There's only a few different enemy types. You can just strike the spearman as soon as you can on his spear and he'll walk around dazed. The enemy AI just runs towards you.
There is a big difficulty spike in this game. But it's simply from the sheer amount of enemies that come towards you. It can be difficult to even see them at times, let alone keep track of all the dangers. Those dangers include having to dodge cannonballs or strike arrow volleys from the air. You do need a nice playspace to play this game effectively.
Game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting variable frame rates & poor performance, especially when there's several enemies on screen. There are no graphical settings. This is a strictly play within your play area game, there is no locomotion & no smooth or snap turning. At least you can set your height in-game.
The visuals didn't look good to me either. It seemed blurry at a distance. Also, I could barely hear the music with all the yelling from NPCs. I didn't have fun playing this game at all.
