Interesting mechanics. The game would have been really cool if they optimized the horrible input latency and the fact that developers expected us all to have 19 fingers available at the same time smashing the controller in a fraction of second. I am not exaggerating. This could have been a hell of a great game but destroyed by utter trash controls thanks to developers who refuse to finish the optimization. DigiPen though so I am not necessarily surprised.1 found this helpful
Fun game until you close it. Every time i closed it i had to restart from the beginning
Super unresposive controls. Terrible animations. I don't really understand how the devs want the attack to work either. Why do I just hold out the knife and stand still? Pointless run back to the first boss, too. I alt-tabbed and the game restarted from the beginning so I guess I'm done with it. Was this the slacker group lol
Saves doesn't work, if you go to menu - you start from the beginning. Decided to explore, and fall through a map? Too bad. Core mechanics are promising though
Swapping between powers is a nightmare and could be enhanced by simply making the scroll wheel change through them. That way, u can use your left hand to move, jump and roll and then use your right hand to swap controls instead of what the devs wanted, which was for us to grow an additional 3 fingers on our left hands. Plus the spike traps being a one shot is probably the dumbest thing ive ever seen, especially since the hitbox is annoyingly large
