1 more review, not recommended
Initially I was loving it but as I have played the game twice now, second playthrough on the hardest difficulty and while I enjoy the emergent and fluid gameplay, I'll say it feels very confined and based on luck rather than your own input turning into a palpable output. The limited move set and lack of defence mechanics just make you super vulnerable while being unable to fight back as the enemy is always...

About the game

Feel like the star of a martial arts film in Overgrowth, as you jump, kick, throw, and slash your way to victory. Free the rabbits from their evil overlords in the main story, then play through the prequel story, and finally, try out nine years of mods developed by the community, or create your own!
