Combat was okay at best and down-right awful at worst. Light-weapons were quick and didn't hit hard which made sense and I didn't have a problem with. Heavy weapons hit hard and broke through shields but were so hilariously slow almost to point of being down-right unplayable. And any advantage heavy weapons including breaking the guard of shield enemies gave you casting spells usually did at the cost of limited use. But even if you can overlook all that and even enjoy the combat the game is relatively short with only a handful of bosses and doesn't offer much in options of builds. Meaning this game has much lower replayablity factor than others of the genre. Which is a point interestingly nobody is mentioning. Is it worth 5.00? That's the highest I would pay for it coming from somebody who bought it a full price when it was originally released and was quite disappointed with it.
