Heard a lot of mixed things about the game, and it was between this and Onimusha. I decided to go for the one with more replayability. So I only just got through the opening sequence/tutorial, but so far I'm very impressed. The story seems very cool. Great cutscenes. The directional combat is very unique. Never played a game that implemented this. At first my thought was "1 attack button?". As someone who enjoys engaging combat, I was put off by this at first. But it seems very well done. Much more than just spamming 1 button. And the time mechanic, I was also unsure how I'd like this, but it gives such a sense of urgency to my choices. I really have to think before I make a decision. Really immersed me in the game from the start. Also love the layout of the skill trees. I love a good skill tree.

That's pretty much all I can say so early on, just wanted to gush a bit real quick. Really looking forward to jumping back in to this game today. Share any (spoiler free) tips or thoughts on the game if you want.

I really like the premise of this game and it's story but what turns me off is I heard the combat is like KCD...

Does the easy mode of this game really help with the combat or am I fated to lose...

Edit: Thank you for all the help! It really means a lot!!!! ❤❤❤

Im playing on challenging cuz its my first run and if I had one thing i could change it would be making the combat more intense

Like faster attacks but less damage maybe, not necessarily more difficult to survive

Its gotten into my head now that this games parry system feels like sekiro but slower and I feel like if it was made a touch faster the combat would be much more engaging, the perfect block window is forgiving enough its just missing that speed

Unless you get ganked but even then the ai stops them attacking really
