I got a hold of this from the developers to try out. At first I was scared It would have performance issues, but after playing it for a few hours, my rig stayed at a comfortable 78 max temp(mind you I own a R9 290, the brick oven of GPUs out there hah!) The game starts off claustrophobic at first. You have tight rooms and semi aggressive enemies. Kings Field, Demon Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne fans will feel comfortable with the game. Learning patterns of enemies almost instantly. The game promotes aggression. Rewarding attacks with replenished HP. Or every weapon offers a play style that keeps you on your toes. Each weapon feels like a sort of tool for certain enemies. Hammer is slower in the bag of toys to play with, but does great blunt damage. Cleaning house to certain enemies. Etc Etc. I am still playing it grinding out enemies and having a overall blast. The parkour nature the game deeper in offers a sense of charming platforming. I hear a bit of Dark Messiah references of inspiration towards the game, I can agree with the melee aspects. But this game is just about a Melee only game. Unless you pick one of the 6 or so perks like Rip n' Tear, where you take off enemies heads and toss them for good damage. Do not expect to blast through the game. It will take you a bit. Its fast, fun, and has a great dev team passionate about it. Plus its affordable!
