Fugitive Free Rider

[後半に日本語レビューあり] [h1]Slay the Arch-Enemy of Group Projects! Exhilarating Musou Action to Crush Injustice with Your Fists[/h1] The greatest horror in university life is the presence of the "free rider"—those who ignore assignments and only take the credit. This title is a 3D hack-and-slash with an extremely unique concept that transforms such real-world stress directly into destructive catharsis. To catch a chaebol heiress who abandoned her group project and fled, players must push through downtown streets, mowing down mobs she has bribed. The gameplay is simple and exhilarating Musou-style action. The five different playable characters each have distinct styles, such as martial arts or swordsmanship, and specialize in the thrill of clearing the screen of enemies with flashy "Rage Arts." As mentioned in the curator review, the surreal development where "cute" heroines knock down former classmates—who stand in their way for worldly reasons—gives the game a unique momentum similar to a B-movie (in a good way). While the controls are light and combos connect easily, there is some roughness typical of indie games. Several technical areas for improvement are visible, such as the camera w…

Hack and slash games tend to be favorites of mine, so when I realized it had only been out for around a month, I hoped to get a review key for it. The developers were kind enough to respond, but it wound up being a disappointing experience. It has the bare-bones structure in place, yet without any of the quality or features that make hack and slash games so fun for me. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Games like this can be repetitive, but this title does nothing to mix things up or present interesting fights. I suppose one could argue watching students shoot you is somewhat entertaining, but that level of violence is completely disproportionate to the plot. Plus, it defies any logic about this game taking place in Japan, where regular people won't have firearms. The only set-up in this…

enjoyable but it surely need more polish... npc bug into the building is annoying, game dont have save?, and i wish player characters have ragdoll physics just like npc so when get KOed it look more funny when npc attackiing us like a sandbag hope they update that

Petite Anime Musou, It's Fun!

This is a recommendation with a caveat: I bought the game just to check out the production values of the NPR and anime-styled visuals. The 3D models, textures and rigs are quite nice! The urban environment art is ok, but doesnt feel complete. So if you are a 3D character artist that work on stylized games and entertainment there are some learnings here. There was where the value was for me. As far as the gameplay goes though I zoned out immediatly. Beat'em Ups and Brawlers were genres I played and left behind in the 90's. They're shallow and get repetitive in hurry. I did not have fun playing this.

it's a grinding game, some may think it's rewarding. the camera it not great. controls are some what off. there's an input delay.... like the inputs have a queue. the combo for a pistol shot move is random. sometimes I'm not trying to do it and it executes the move anyway. X,X,Y this is not like final fight, it's more like the dragon ball series, you want to use tap targeting and plow down enemies but then there's enemies off to the side with pistols that you can't see you have to un tag your targets and find them. game feature OR ANNOYANCE?
