COGEN: Sword of Rewind / COGEN: 大鳥こはくと刻の剣

the sad part is only 60 fps

Does the bare minimum with its concept

ouroboros system activated, ouroboros system activated, ouroboros system activated, ouroboros system activated a short yet frustrating megaman akin game with funny talking swords kinda of a slog once a while (im not great with these games tbh) and some platforming is annoying but had a good time at least its better than mighty no. 9 its nice

Overpriced for what you really get. Gameplay is very hard also. Keyboard control can't remapping, recommend to use gamepad.

Only grabbed this game because it went on sale for 50% and because it looks and plays like an Azure Striker Gunvolt game. After finishing the game in 5 hours (definitely not worth $25 lmao, even if this game had realistic graphics and banger ost), I honestly want to say it's frustrating mid. I'm not really a fan for enemy spam, but considering this' a fast-paced game, it's super annoying to have parts where you must halt your speed and slowly kill off enemies in the most defensive positions possible since this game is practically anti-damage boosting due to its time gimmick lol. Speaking of which, I honestly do not like the gimmick itself, not because I find it bad, but it's execution feels mediocre. You get a time bar that allows you to rewind time (up to 3 seconds with 3 bars representing 1 second), and it's meant to be helpful when you die as you can "rewind your death." I personally find myself not using it unless I die since, turns out, the time bar is also your health, and every time you rewind time for any reason (fixing a mistake, using it as a level gimmick, rewinding after death), you lose a bar. Doesn't help that you don't gain much invincibility from rewinding after dea…

Brutally hard (if not running on casual mode), but overall a fun action-platformer with a unique core mechanic. With some additional enemy and environment variety a sequel could be a top-tier entry in the genre.
