Im just here to be able to kill russian soldiers in as many creative and brutal ways as possible..... nd thats exacly what i got

It works better as a playground for testing abilities than an actual game. In addition to the normal third-person shooter controls for movement, you have a bunch are for performing attacks. Various guns all function in the same way and require no explanation because you simply point and fire. Your sword and teleportation abilities are far more exciting. Because of limited ammo and the fact you need to pick up weapons from enemies, your sword might be the most used weapon. The sword isn't very effective against ranged enemies, but the teleport button lets you jump right next to an attacker. You might even perform an insta-kill maneuver that requires some time before it can be utilized again. The skill tree is rather daunting. There are over ten large nodes surrounded by several smaller ones that supplement and improve the primary node. You can't choose the one you want because you have to start in the middle and work your way to the desired nodes. Another alternative is alignments, which have both advantages and disadvantages. One, for example, boosts damage to both you and the enemy. Unfortunately, the game is not that fun to play. Despite the big skill tree, the only way to …

Lots of verity from the skill tree to have different builds. Tough combat and opponents making for a very challenging game that requires a lot of strategy moving forward. At first, the skill tree points, or "awaken" points as they are called in the game, they seem to come relatively easy. But when you hit lvl 10 on you have to grind a bit more making each choice an important one for your build. The "Alignments" really shape up your whole strategy and change your whole fighting style. Don't buy if you just play aggro because you'll hit Game Over really quick, and If you have poor planning skills. Buy it if you like strategy in a third person perspective. Good for when you are having a bad day and just want to beat the crap out of some soldiers.

I didn't get a feel of the story from the bit I managed to play. The game has a robust skill tree to upgrade our character. The combat is a bit wonky. Ragdollin' is a thing here for both the player and NPCs. The graphics are decent enough for this price tag. Would have liked for a voiced story of sorts. Still not too bad for the price despite me not makin' it out of the first area. Middle thumb it. Gameplay Impressions: https://youtu.be/VNfA7Uhye9g
