Lady Death Demonicron

I kickstarted this game and regret it. I play exclusively on PC, I don't even own a console. Perhaps I "should have known" that a game of this type would cater heavily to controller users, to the point of not allowing inputs to be customized, but going so far as to exclusively *list the commands* as controller inputs only is just spitting in my face.

Eh.... $39.99, nope.

A honest message to all complaining about the price tag: Yes, 35 bucks is overpriced for what it is. However, its based on an iconic comic figure "Lady Death" which means royalty fees. And it has licensed heavy metal music, which adds atmosphere and also more royalty fees. But the game itself is very good, the sound, the animations, the uncensored stuff, the gameplay, the voice acting - its worth the asking price. A lot of us complain about game's industry going woke (rightfully). But when a developer comes along being based and giving us a decent game, nobody supports it. This game absolutely deserves to get supported, by my opinion. If you want things to make a move back towards normality, consider supporting this. Try to see it this way: Paying 35 bucks for this is still better than buying Sweet Babie's infused Soy-verine on PS5. Just my two cents, thank you.

Fair warning, I was a [i]Kickstarter[/i] backer for this title. I recommend it, but with a hefty asterisk attached to that. A Lady Death beat 'em up should be a perfect match. She's a hot kick ass character, the music does fit, & the overkills a pretty varied & appropriately bloody. During this playthrough a also saw at least one move that seemed to be hidden (AKA not in the moves guide). I do like the hidden knick knacks to be found in some of the levels. For a beat 'em up its the appropriate length of time to finish. The problem is the the game felt really stiff with the controls. If all your lives are lost, you begin from the start of the level. I despised that with the [i]Mega Man[/i] series, I despise it here. While the designs are good, there's little in the way of them being fluid. Another reviewer said that the game looks &/or feels like a flash game, I'm inclined to agree. Play this game after it's gotten at least one more patch &/or the price has gone down.

The TLDR; it's a janky buggy unpolished mess with poor gameplay, meh music, and awful animation. Save your money. Really wanted to like this game. A Lady Death heavy metal beat 'em up, sign me up!.. Its bad, really bad. Gameplay: Hit boxes are all over the place, at times you can be on the other side of the screen and still get Combat feel is poor, and there sooo many bugs. The input for special moves are inconsistent. A comprehensive move-set list can only be found off game. The Rest: Music ranges from bland to generic to mid at best. The animation is awful, as if only keyframes were used giving the game a stuttering feel. As a whole it has the vibes of a proof of concept or a v1.0 early an access game. It's like the studio did not learn any lessons from their previous beat 'em up "The Phantom" Lady Death has all of the same problems and issues.

Being a Lady Death fan was enough to make me want this game. It is what you would expect from an arcade style side scrolling beat em up. Love the soundtrack, combat and move set is simple to learn but spamming the attack button while trying to change direction is not recommended. Graphics and gore in my opinion is good for a comic book based game. Not much by way of extra content or replay value and arcade mode was more or less a chapter select. It still has some bugs to iron out and did obtain all achievements in 6.5 hours. Fans of the franchise and this style of game I believe will enjoy this, I like the game myself but would recommend waiting for a special.
