It's been said before, but honestly the only downside of the game is that it's so fun and unique in presentation that you just can't help but want more of it. These are the kind of games you pray get a AAA budget, but can only exist in an environment where creators can make the game they truly want to make. It truly does know itself, and is full of wit and pasión! <3

I realised there aren't many reviews from people with as many hours in the game as me! So I am writing this to say: yes, it's short the first time through, but it is highly replayable and one of my go-to games for picking up after a month when I want to play something simple and fun for an hour. The combat is simple but really fun, very effectively balanced around a good core concept - you can't effectively fight multiple enemies at once, but you have a *lot* of fun options for escaping, distracting and stunning so that you can handle them one at a time. Great game.

after reading a lot of the negative reviews I have come to the conclusion that there is a skill issue. you cant play this like dark souls. you need to throw objects, kick boxes and barrels, kite enemies into explosives, do acrobatics, and knock enemies into walls and objects, to stun them, knock them over, break their guard, etc. if you rely solely on attack/dodge/parry you WILL lose. *kicks an explosive barrel at you*

At first when started playing, this game feels like a good light hearted action adventure indie game set in post renaissance europe but in the later stages of the game it took a turn into become somewhat a souls like game for it's combat, although I never played any souls like gane before. Why do I feel that way? Because the combat devolved into evading and rolling from attacks where you're outnumbered and that higher level enemies attacks practically have to be evaded while you wait for the opportunity tunstrike back or using the environments to weaken them or to make them slip in funny ways or outright make red painted barrels and ammo crates went boom (as if this was a 90s shooter game)... But mostly you'd be expected to dodge alot to survive just like in souls like games... But I enjoyed it and the game doesn't overstay the welcome (unless you died a lot), it's a short game, a souls like veterans can probably beat all the main content (including a roguelike arena mode) in about 5 hours of play time... Or at maximum 10 hours I guess... Performance is acceptable, it has 21:9 display support and I like that it has TSR anti aliasing option and not forcing us with TAA solution only.

Although I recommend the game, it isn't without its faults. There's a lot to praise, but there's also a lot to improve. The soundtrack is great, the humor is charming, and the panache mechanic is really solid. You're encouraged to use the environment to get every advantage you can, and the game doesn't handhold you in some of the more tougher fights. I really enjoyed kicking barrels into people, setting their pants on fire, and knocking them off cliffs. That being said, the main problem with combat is how you deal with massive amounts of enemies. The game encourages you to try and separate them, but this isn't always possible. Some enemies are immune to any tricks, and having multiple enemies like that quickly gets frustrating. There are only four episodes, with the first one acting as the tutorial. Most are pretty good, but episode four is a real drag. You fight massive swarms of elite enemies that spam unblockable attacks. Most of the time you have to dodge away, but this also means beating enemies is slow. I wish the enemies didn't spam as many unblockables since it really takes away from the flashy combat if all you're doing is dodging half the attacks. Overall, the game is pretty good. But I would definitely get it on sale. It took me 3 hours to beat the main story and there's some challenges and collectibles which will probably add a few more to that time.
