I have a ridiculously long list of games that I want to play so I finally got a copy of this game.
I am about 3 hours into and and Wow, it is really great. The save system is a bit wonky so about an hour of that three hours was being annoyed getting past the first boss. You are only allowed to save at save points and the first save point you get to is after the first boss. So I died on him/it twice.
Most of what you do leading up to the first boss is just learning the mechanics of the game. So having to redo that three times was … annoying… but that makes you learn fight mechanics, so I appreciated that after I got him “down”.
Visually the game is great. The combat system is really intuitive and the game uses camera angles that are a bit jarring at first. Sometimes the camera angles feel like old school 90s arcade games. The aesthetic of the game is awesome.
The game seems to be very deliberately rolling out the story, so the experience so far has been very hack and slash. I am curious how that will play out. I am hoping that the story gets more involved the more I play the game.
Like I said I am only three hours into it and so far it has been fun!
I just did that part last night and OMFG it was great. Both that tank boss and the one that I can only describe as the ballerina from hell were amazing.
It is impressive how simple and how complex the boss fights are. It hits the right balance.
One mind blowing part is that some of ballerinas attacks are synced to the music. This wasn’t meant to be just fight but sort of dance macabre with her.
She also has a back story that radically changes your perception of her. But I won’t spoil anything
There’s a hidden miniboss in the amusement park… But it’s so cleverly hidden you’ll probably need to look it up on the internet to find it.
There’s probably a metric ton of details I haven’t found about this game.
