Refreshing Lighthearted Action
You're going to see some baseless 1-star review for this game that have nothing to do with how it actually plays, so try to disregard. This is a game that feels very much like a late 90s or early 2000s level-based action game, complete with the lighthearted atmosphere that used to define them. There are four chapters, each with optional challenges and secrets to find. It's a short game. The main story is about 5 hours if you take your time, but there's an arena mode for unlimited custom brawls with changing variables. The core gameplay is similar to Sekiro, but the focus is on managing larger groups of enemies using the environment around you to divide-and-conquer. You can fling buckets onto enemy heads, knock them over by kicking barrels, fire cannons, etc. It captures the sense of being in a swashbuckling movie like Mask of Zorro. You have to constantly keep moving. Playing with a gamepad is best. I would love to see the developer build on these fundamentals in the future to make a longer game, because there's a lot of potential there.
