    Tempted to rate it lower because I just felt like I couldnt stand to play anymore, but I can see how this would appeal to some. Dark Souls crossed with Dynasty Warriors, but it has the worst parts of both. Mountains of useless items that have their effectiveness determined by arbitrary item levels, mindless combat, braindead enemy ai, and horrible voice acting.

This game could possibly be very fun for those who like the gameplay of both Dark Souls and Dynasty Warriors, but in the five hours I played, I found myself looking forward to playing less and less, until ultimately, I decided to drop it.

    Incredibly poor game design. The entire game is gatekept by a single, reflex related ability - deflect. If you cannot get the deflect down you can not progress out of the tutorial. If it was just defeating a single phase boss, fine. But to have two phases that rely on reflexes ONLY is a really, really poor game design choice.

The only reason why it is not receiving a 1 from me is that it was made available on Game Pass so at least all I was out was time and space on my SSD.

    I was able to get to the second phase multiple times but the pace of the deflects changes drastically. Also the deflect window is inconsistent and the hit boxes for the first boss are obscene, making any dodging impossible. The same is true of the second phase. If it were a single phase I could understand it. I think I will stick to From Soft games. At least there I can find multiple ways to progress.
