Decent ideas, budget execution. It starts out well enough, but its idea of difficulty scaling is suspect, as it starts throwing too many damage sponge enemies and relies heavily on color-coded gimmicks. Encounters lose their flow because of this, something that is severely worsened by the atrocious camera. The game has fixed camera for exploration and free camera for combat and I'm pretty sure it should be the other way around, because the last thing I want during combat is taking my thumb off the face buttons to rotate the right analog stick. Enemy visibility is also abysmal, both in terms of telling them apart in the heat of battle and even just seeing them against the background. The game's counter mechanic is also questionable, as it very quickly turns into a glorified QTE mid-combat. Scanning the screen for counter prompts while trying to engage in combat is extremely distracting. Because of the nature of the system, half the time you won't even know what the successful counter actually did, you just know you didn't get hit. It's also not consistent, as not all of the enemy attacks can be countered in this way. At all times, the game seems weirdly fixated on wrestling control of the arena away from you. I went into the game really wanting to recommend it, despite its flaws. The Claymore inspiration is strong and very much appreciated. It's also surprisingly well-written and well-acted, I genuinely wanted to see more. But it's not fun to play after a while. The budget jank starts creeping it and really weighs on the experience. Levels can take up to 40 minutes on first play, if you explore, but exploration only yields more "orbs" for upgrades. Linear levels, where all you do is hit crystals between encounters. There are barely any puzzles. The whole thing reeks of punching above one's weight.

This game is so bad I couldn't even finish it and I finish almost anything no matter how un-enjoyable it is. The game starts out good enough, a love letter to the ps2 hack and slash era of old, but this game is just full of so many annoying mechanics and poor design choices , which only get increasingly worse as the game goes on. It is genuinely the most un-enjoyable experience I have ever had playing the genre (and I have played basically all of those worth playing in the game) -Fixed camera angles; obviously made as an homage to the ps2 era but do these donkey brained devs not know the fixed camera angels were due to engine limitations and not a delibrate design choice? None of the newer hack and slash games use these any more -Levels drag on waaaay too long, repititve assests and rooms, the game could literally be half as long as it is -No true animation canceling (this alone should tell you how little these devs actually understand the game they are trying to make) -Dumb ass color coded combat that adds nothing to the game besides frustration (all for the sake of pretending you have some unique mechanic in your copy pasta game I guess, whatever you need to strok your own ego Reply game studios) -Pointless weapon switching combos as certian enemy types are weak to a certian weapon but have higher defence against other types, so just spam whatever weapon they are weakest to - All wepoans have the same basic combo inputs and there is no room at all for anything more advanced, just spam the same button with a delay on the third input, or dash and attach button, or jump and attack button, nothing else outside of that, babies first hack and slash. Overall this game has absolutely nothing going for it, terrible story, mediocore sountrackm horrible gameplay, boring level design. I wouldn't even recommend to play this game for free if you could. Please don't ever make another game ever again

жили-были две сестры ,съели они как то дрожжи с сахаром ну и теперь ходят, и немножечко бродят...

This is an action game whose designer is not good at action games for players who are not good at action games, feel the camera movement for 3 hours and you will know. Beside that it's just a 4/10 game ok to play I guess(5 for average, -1 for brainless story and lines)

Si te gusta Devil May Cry, este titulo te va a recordar mucho, es un hack and slash bastante decente, con un combate satisfactorio y una trama de fantasía oscura... Podrás explorar amplios escenarios, mejorar armas y habilidades, controlar a 2 personajes simultáneamente y luchar contra una variedad de enemigos, no tenia muchas expectativas en él y me termino enganchando. El único pero es que de vez en cuando pega algunos tirones y caídas de FPS, nada grave. Nota: 7/10

Очень сильно похожа боевкой на DmC: Devil May Cry (здесь нужно переключаться между аурами, чтобы наносить урон определенным врагам, в dmc - между типами оружий), которой и уступает во всем практически, при том что DmC 2013 года, а эта игра 2022. Однозначно не стоит внимания, даже по скидке, лучше уже поиграть в "старшего брата"

The 5 trillion-th button-smasher...i am so bored out of these copy-paste games with different skins...Are we really still in the 2010 years where games didn't need anything other than not being 2D? Give the characters weight, make movement a little more intentional. Every single game on this planet would be so much better if characters would simply move accurate according to actual physics.

very berserk inspired, ive always hated fixed camera games but this ones good enough that ill keep playing, my only issue is its way to easy (oh and the horribly made parkour) but apart from that its great

Ill start this off by saying that I didnt totally enjoy the game. Its not really my kind of genre BUT its a very pretty game with a cool story and cool protagonist. The combat is basic but fluid. I recommend it if you like hack and slash games. I will also say that I wasnt a fan of the camera angles. It kind of annoyed me. Ill still recommend it to those that might enjoy it more. Its not a horrible game, but I wouldnt say its fantastic either.

Поиграв лишь в первую главу (около 40 минут), могу сказать, что игра очень хорошая. По атмосфере и геймплею похожа на смесь DmC: Devil May Cry и Berserk. Из минусов - не всем понравится фиксированная камера. Но как человек, игравший в первые части Resident Evil и Devil May Cry, я сильных претензий к ней не имею. Оптимизация порадовала: фризов на своем ПК не обнаружил. Рекомендую.
