Soulstice

I played the game through once on Human (easiest) difficulty and then played through all bosses again. I also found and tried all the challenges the game has to offer and beat all but two of them. I scraped every corner but didn't stop to smell the roses as they were all dead. The game is divided in chapters which you can go play again as you choose. Longest chapter took me about an hour to play and usually they are shorter. It's better to end the session at the chapter end than just a checkpoint or a save spot, I think. The 5 different difficulty levels have their own progression so you can't for example try a boss with harder or easier difficulty which is a bit of a bummer. Every chapter and battle is rated and timed, so you can even try to diamond them if that's your thing. I don't have enough experience in hack'n'slash to rate the gameplay that much.

In this game, your character is a two characters fusion of a knight and a shade, called Chimera. There are other Chimeras (you do not get to control them, only play 1 Chimera). You control both character in every fight. Knight, the weapon user. Shade, the counter-er and field activator. Weapons have combos. Feels a lot like Nero from DMC5. The counter is reaction based, a button press indicator will appear on enemies (or just at the sides of the screen if they are off-screen) when they do a counter-able attack. If the button is pressed but there is nothing to be countered, then the shade gets "confused" for like 2 seconds and during that you cannot counter any counterable moves, which may suck. Doing weapon combos to build unity gauge to be used to activate special moves, weapon switches, dodging and countering attacks, activating fields, and paying attention t...

This game is freaking cool!
