What players say
The game is unique in it's own way, pretty interesting Musou/Rougulike gameplay. Add, combine and mix your own custom moves. Any kind of weapon can be broken with just your own setup. The pixelated visual can get used to it really quick. Must say, if someone is looking for a interesting concept and fun rougelite - THIS IS THE PERFECT GAME ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿...
A neat little roguelike which allows you to customize your combos. Pros + You can customize your moveset or "barrage" by combining attacks you got from defeating enemies + You unlock a "technique" by combining attacks. For example: You combine 1 Jump and 1 Slice Up, it gives you an upward slice attack technique. + You can change the button mapping in the action builder. If you like A button as your jump button...
Amazing game with unique mechanics, art style, and creative ways to combine attack techniques to fight the samurai, it offers non-stop well designed levels with normal difficulty, so you won't struggle most of the times. Also, the game is very addictive specially in the beginning, because every single run feels different, and it also pushes you up until you beat all the main bosses. I personally like the background...
