Blind Fate: Edo no Yami

Good concept, poor execution. Using sound/smell/heat to detect enemies and overcome environmental challenges is really unique, but the game just isn't fun to play. Movement feels slow and clunky, parrying and ranged attacks are pointless as you can easily dodge everything with i-frames. The game looks decent but 90% of the time you're stuck with a colour filter over everything to show what sense you're using. Story is terrible and the writing doesn't fit the tone of the game. "I'm weird. / Yeah, you're weird." or when the Ancient AI says "Sup bro!" The dragon boss bugged out on it's 3rd phase so I had to redo the fight as there wasn't a checkpoint. Also during this fight you have to wall-climb which isn't explained, and it doesn't work well. You have to hold up to climb upwards, then hold left/right to jump sideways. If you press "A" to jump or kick off the wall like most other games you just fall. A simple explanation of the controls would have helped. There's also a complete lack of direction - no map, no guidance on which areas to travel to first. Check the Steam forums and loads of people are asking for help. I'm currently in a hidden side area which seems to be endless. So…

I tried, I swear I tried. Very bad movement and reaction and, for a story-driven game it totally lacks of some kind of emotion. Maybe another time.

Clunky movement and combat. Story is ok Too many collectibles that needs backtracking on same map over and over. Got tired and don't wanna complete it.

The movement in this game is awful. There are so many bugs that kill you or stop progression making you have to die or reload. Wouldn't recommend.

the weak spot attack & the 3 senses concept is fun, but the stiff control in combat makes it really hard to enjoy, moreover, the attack doesnt feel satisfying at all, mainly due to lack of sound design and attention to attack/execute animation. As a hack and slash game, the stamina bar is the worst mechanic that constantly breaking combat flow. the story also suffered badly, the cutscene cut in an absurd way that left me ??? most of the time, like u'll expect the cutscene to continue but then thats it???

Game plays great at the beginning, starting to disintegrate/distracting and get boring mid way....
