This was a great game, I'll be watching for any further versions of this game.
I disapprove of the level up system, which appeared to be completely scripted, and it would have been nice to see some different weapons (and perhaps armour) to choose from, but aside from these points, it was a very solid and enjoyable game. The characters were quirky and likable (at least the main characters were, the demons that you fought were stereotypical garbage.) the combat was fun, although the sections in between bosses seemed to be just there for filler, or to teach the player about a mechanic (such as in the library, where there was no enemies whatsoever, but you had to jump over an obstacle, similar to the ones in the boss room just ahead). The music was great, not really anything I can think to criticize there.
Aside from what I've already mentioned, it would be nice to see some talent trees or anything really that could be used to customize your play-style. I realize that might be difficult because you've set the game up in such a way that the bosses are a kind of puzzle that you have to solve using the game mechanics that you have, and adding more would make puzzles more difficult to make so that they would work with all the new mechanics, but it just feels so... Restrictive. Even something that gave the illusion of progress would be better than nothing, such as picking up a cooler crossbow that does more damage along the way. That would be fine for weapons, but the illusion of leveling up that you've set up with I'm really against. I just want some choice in what gets upgraded.
As a side note, as I'm fairly sure this wont be happening given that you've probably already figured out how this game will progress in the further installments, if it is possible it would be nice to see some ability to free roam and choose the location which you want to travel to instead of playing along such a linear path, but since this is a story driven game I could completely understand the issues with that.
awsome game if you are going to continue itmay i suggest a weapon that dosnt suck.lol and yea some shops would be good. i mean afte a while it fels like it gets linnear like the last 3 fights barely had any minions just bosses.and alittle better controls felt a little lagy at times when i tried to fire and then duck but the relode speed was horendous. and like i said to look behind you youlitteraly had to move and it would be awsome if you can jut move your courser behind you so you didnt have to
