Judgement: Not Recommended

View review on Steam

If you are looking for something difficult, but fair, this game is good for you. Almost every time you die here, you know you did something wrong.

I don't recommend this game not because it fails to deliver what it promises, but because there are probably much better options.

What is good:
Game delivers the premise to be simple but hard, and progress is rewarding.

What is wrong:
- Camera sometimes moves by itself or doesn't center back once you release right stick (this is not really a big issue, but when you die 40 times in the same place, dying 2 out of those 40 as a result of the camera malfunctioning can be frustrating. Bear in mind that you will find yourself several times blind-jumping to the bottom of the screen, and moving the camera is essential in that situation).

- Game becomes quickly repetitive. Yes, levels are harder and longer, but after finishing 8 stages I only found 4 enemies and you can only create combos with a single button

- Single button control is a problem. All your moves are done with the same button and the stick. If you want to stab, you need to push your stick and attack, if you want to kick you just need to attack without moving. So: if you want to face backward you will push your stick to the opposite side you are looking and if you want to kick an enemy behind you, that will be impossible, since touching your stick will change that kick for a stab.

- Graphics and music are just ok, they won't add value to the game.


NONE OF THESE MAKE THIS GAME A BAD GAME, THIS IS A GOOD GAME IN ITS GENRE, BUT I KNOW THERE ARE MUCH BETTER OPTIONS IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY/TIME TO PLAY THEM ALL.
