✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the solid combat mechanics and satisfying deflect system that captures a Sekiro-like feel, with several noting the game delivers good value for its price. However, technical issues are a recurring complaint, including performance optimization problems, frame rate stuttering, and various bugs that detract from the experience, though the core gameplay itself remains functional despite these problems.

Game sucks. Cheap, knock-off Sekiro. Gameplay is kinda ok. Made it through a few zones of the game. None of the bosses I fought were good. Very few of the enemies where fun to fight. Buy on sale only if you have nothing else to play. Honestly, just do another Sekiro playthrough if you're craving a game like this, its way better and fun to revisit especially if you download the FPS unlocker for it.

Sleeping on this game should be illegal. Actually pretty damn good. 15 hours to 100%, I'd recommend cranking the difficulty up or you will just steamroll the bosses

The gameplay, is fine. For the most part. The graphics, however, are very poorly optimized and rely too much on the engine. As a result, many environments (especially in nature) lose depth, and look incomprehensible at lower settings. As a point of comparison, my PC can (and does) run Elden Ring with insignificant stutter.

5/5 game! for the price, excellent. the game is therapeutic to play and is very nice to run through. Some bosses even hold a great challenge(Red Lotus Buddha). The developers really made something special. Thanks for a great game at a great price! Future games could definitely hold potential!

ONLY BUY IF YOU LOVE SEKIRO! (buy it on sale. Plz, it's not worth the full price tag) I can't understate this enough! This is really meh, with clunky parrying and only having like 5-6 good bosses. But it's easy, with the exception of again, 5-6 bosses. Verdict is a light 6/10.
