Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this action game for its fast, flashy combat, but many find the story, voice acting, repetitive level design and technical issues weak.

Many players praise the combat: fast, flashy chains, weapon swapping without breaking combos, perfect dodges and parries, and a boss-heavy structure that suits fans of Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden. Visuals and art direction, which blend Final Fantasy styling with Chinese touches, also get positive mentions, and some reviewers say the game runs well on capable PCs. Complaints centre on the story and writing, the English voice acting, linear and scripted level design with predictable collectibles, and combat that some find floaty, repetitive or too easy. Several players report crashes, stutter, shader problems and bugs. Many reviewers describe the game as worth buying only on sale. Reviews from the last year lean similarly to the helpful ones, and Steam's overall score is mixed.

Who it suits

Players who love fast hack-and-slash combat in the style of Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden, and who care less about story, are best suited to it, ideally on sale.

Who should skip it

Players seeking a strong story, polished voice acting, open exploration or smooth performance should skip it or wait for a discount.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are more divided and often cite dated combat, bugs and weak story early on, while those with 20 hours or more mostly recommend the game for its combat.
