Really couldn't get into it.
What really bothered me was the stilted animation. I think you need to make the movement animations more realistic. Also, I don't know about anyone else but I found it very difficult to get past the first level, I mean you could just use the shotgun repeatedly and not lose much health, but that's not particularly fun.
good but could be better
I can see a lot of effort has been put in to this however i found some aspects frustrating e.g. the lack of a block button or how difficult it was to change direction during a combo [especially when some moves have the ability to knock enemies behind you]. Overall I enjoyed the game but it needs some tweeks.
Good concept, but...
This is a very good concept. I like the introduction to the chapters with the short comic strips and the coloring of the menues add a lot to the atmosphere, too.
However, the animations are pretty stiffy and there are many glitches in the game.
When I restart a chapter because I previously died, the character falls through the floor. I have to press all the buttons to get him out there.
Also, I managed to beat the last boss (that dragon) and now he's just kneeling there, bleeding endlessly. I still can change weapons, but nothing else happens!
Overall, it's a very good idea, but presentated pretty poorly.

can still be saved, but highly flawed.
my major issues are:
the enemies take far too long to kill, and unless you're using you're swords special moves, the sword is preatty much worthless.
the animation is choppy, for lack of a better word, the cloaked guys just sort of...float around.
the sucicide bombers and extra strong cloaked guys just add to much difficulty, its not challenging, its just stupid. you shouldn't have to shit on me to be hard.
the art is very messy and jagged, making for a very unappealing look.
my movements feel very restricted , if you can't scroll accross the screen you should be able to move in a 3rd dimmension. like in Portal defenders or Dad n' Me for example. or atleast throw in some extra platforms for me to jump on.
but not everything about this game is bad, theres still alot of potential for it.
the gothic evil scenery is really cool, the Devil May Cry influence is very apparant.
and when you do get the combos working, its kinda fun, though its pain to attacked while doing them easily, AND IT WILL HAPPEN.
i don't wanna be too mean to this game, it seems like alot of work and love was put into it, and there still many things that can saved about it.
still, its a lump of cole. it has some diamond shards poking out, but its still cole until its squeezed hard enough.
i give a 2/5
Im not surprised.
These games with medals may be a big disappointment to NG and I knew it all along. This is one of the reasons I don't plan on earning any. That is of course until there is something worth playing for any reason other than medals.
