Every one of your attacks has a long wind up and a lot of the times the attack animation is very misleading. On my screen the weapon will make contact with the enemy but it will register as if it was off, this makes a game that is built to be challenging just not worth the energy investment. I bought this for a few bucks and that is what it is worth. About 3 hours of game play in and I am done with it, had potential but the awful battle system ruined it.
