The core combat is incredibly satisfying. Attacks feel impactful, abilities and special attacks are diverse and well-designed, and the enemies have a lot of variations. There's a real sense of weight to every swing, and pulling off successful combos or dodging attacks is genuinely rewarding. The environments are varied and beautifully designed, and I love the fact you can just change your skin (and character) with a simple button click.The sound design is also good (maybe the magic sfx could use some variation), with satisfying weapon clangs and an interesting soundtrack. Also the developers have been actively engaged with the community, listening to feedback and pushing out regular updates and bug fixes. This level of dedication really instills confidence in the game's future. This game is definitely a hidden gem.

User Reviews
Awesome game. Gets addictive super fast (especially if you're into open-world combat) couldn't stop hacking & slashing my way through exploring a bunch of easily accessible areas looking for all the different bosses. The aesthetics are just *chef's kiss* and countering + attacking mid air feels amazing. Definitely recommended
