beautiful game. fun to fight, if you like akira kurosawa films, you'll appreciate the design of this game.

Bugs bugs bugs Gameplay is nice but it is full of bugs. Action is where player gets stuck with bugs.

Amazing game with flaws that should have been fixed or avoided from the start. This is possibly one of the best looking (and sounding) games ever made in terms of art style and direction. It's a masterpiece. The rest of the game is also good but with a few flaws that hamper an amazing overall game, such as: -stuttering (even after all this time and multiple patches, the game still runs with stuttering at times, it's not game breaking, just annoying) -The combat is great imo, but it suffers from unresponsiveness; you just press a combo and the game just doesn't do it then you do it again and it works. It's something that should have been fixed. Other than that, the game is pretty short (although it has 4 endings to discover) and it lacks variety. I think enemies like the ones in final boss fights should have been more prevalent, to make the game more exciting. Also would have loved it if the game translated the MANY Japanese kanji scattered throughout the game, would have loved to know their meaning, or better yet for the main character to spell them out, since he's voice acted. Great game overall, highly recommended (on a sale). It's pretty unique and it's a beautiful work of art.

The art and setting are truly stunning, and just for that I think it's worth to pick up this game, but only on discount. Reasons being: [list] [*] The game is very short (around 5h). [*] There are a lot of contradictions in the game in terms of design. E.g. forcing you to admire the backgrounds with fixed camera angles while fighting enemies with parries and dodging. [*] The second half of the story comes out of nowhere and instead of feeling like a plot twist it simply left me confused as to why the developers thought this was a good narrative direction. The first half was way better and consistent, despite its simplicity. [*] Only one save file but tons of missable collectibles. This is the more frustrating considering many collectibles have text lore that help ground the whole story and are actually quite fun to read. [*] Despite relying almost entirely on combat to interact with the player, both the main character and the enemies are a bit clunky. It does have a pretty generous parrying window, so that's appreciated, but the reactions could have been a bit more fluid. [/list] To summarize, I had a good time and it was a pretty interesting experience, but there is a lack of consistency in many aspects of the game and it gives me the impression that it was not play-tested enough. Voice acting 10/10 though.

This game is truly one of a kind, and it is so obscure I truly am surprised I was even able to find it. The Kurasawa theme, the combat style, the dialogue, voice acting, cinematic scenes, the story, everything. The path i chose in the game too was essentially a personal mirror of my own life, the resonance was part of the reason I liked this game so much, despite that I would say it is an objectively good and also short game. Personal Opinion Overall 10/10.
