En Garde!

a lot of the negative reviews are just people misunderstanding the premise of the game or being bad at the game, and then blaming it on the game being bad. The combat in this game is incredibly fluid, but not free. You have to genuinely think about your next move, and sometimes that means running away from a group of enemies or seperating them. There are lots of mechanics in the level design itself that help you do that, but yeah it does take a bit of trial and error. The fun of the game is in being outmatched by your opponents and having to use dirty tricks to win. That isn't "your character being weak", but the whole premise of the game. The game definitely isn't long enough to warrant a 20 dollar price-tag though, so buy this heavily discounted. But overall, pretty good.

a fun and loveable short game. very beautiful art direction, fun soundtrack and some funny little jokes were also included. was pretty impressed by the combat but unfortunately the level design is pretty linear especially when there are a couple of branching paths so i would expect something in between the levels definitely would recommend to players who dont mind an easier sekiro-like type of combat with more environmental interactions yet more vibrant themed game. overall i enjoyed the game and petting the chicken and some chicken cameo is definitely a plus :)

Fun arkham-like combat with a big focus on environmental kills. Story is whatever though short, the enemies are satisfying to parry, and its fun scrambling away from a big crowd before discovering a bomb you can throw back at them. Can be frustrating at times with auto lock picking the wrong target and wonky camera, but still very fun. Arena mode is probably the most fun here, lots of perks that get you into OP playstyles that are great to mess around with. The big complaint is that its mostly easy once you figure out the rhythm, EXCEPT for the two hitless achievements which bring the requirement to 100% up dramatically, as well as some of the gameplay quirks. Theres targeting issues, and the captains suck to target attacks; which make you spam the dodge button instead of running away, despite being the entire combat loop designed around hit n' run gameplay
