It's an ok brawler that starts slow, but gets faster after act 1 so much you can actually finish it in about 5 hours. You can do a little grind to find better weapons, money and level up and that will allow you to make the whole game much easier. As others said levels gets quite repetitive and the strategy is really simple: just learn when to dodge and when to block and then basically use the same combo over and over.

Not bad, there are some other bugs and balance at times, but nothing serious. The game is quite simple. Best with a discount.
