Feels like a bad Dark Souls
The game itself is totally mediocre. The writing is "fine" at best but the combat feel is absolutely terrible. Tries to go for a Dark Souls type style of needing to parry/block/dodge but misses subtle fidelity of controls that make any of the three defensive play-styles feel fluid or easy down to outright not being able to do certain things depending on what battle stance you're in (for example, to dodge you need to be in your "Ranger" stance, to parry in your regular warrior stance).
Most important maybe, there is just no hook for me to want to play more. I couldn't care less about the characters after a few hours of playing, the story seems middling and there haven't been many "oh shit" moments that make me feel like I've accomplished a great fight so much as "oh shit, my stupid attack animation left me open to get comboed to death by enemies".
Couldn't recommend to anyone for the full $40USD price. Wouldn't be terrible as a $5 intrigue piece possibly if you had to see it.
