If you like parry game like Sekiro, then this one would be highly recommended, you should be able to play this game happily even without English option, as it doesn't has much story telling either. 那时在youtube看到up主玩demo时就加入了愿望清单，等到发售了，马上就买了玩，也算支持下中文武侠游戏； 先说感受 首先就是剧情太短，我首发玩的时候莫名其妙打了师兄就结束了，什么作者名单都没出来就退回菜单，感觉很奇怪，还以为bug了，后来打了船上的倭寇后，才发现原来剧情就是那么短，非常无言！ 然后就是战斗实在太单一了，怪种类少过十种（应该），而且就是无限重复体验，很多道具形同鸡肋，就是包子与酒最好用。...
Nice art style and brutal combat. To all parry-oriented combat lovers i definitly recommend this one)
