Temu Salt & Sanctuary, with none of that game's charm or polish. Uninteresting graphics and animations. It's basically a parrying simulator with little to nothing else, gameplay-wise. Parrying is mandatory from the first boss onward, and even many regular enemies will basically slaughter you if you don't parry them and counter. And the parry S U C K S. The timing is so jank, so inconsistent. It has to be hit...
