I am a sucker for the idea of steadily moving through a battlefield. Good stuff. As for the story, the game EXPECTS you to know who everyone is. Its Three Kingdoms, they expect you to know the story. But even if you don't know anything the story does not end up any more confusing than the average souls game so its all good.

Lots of weapons and spells, take your pic. The only weak point I could think besides the standard rollslop problems (no pause etc) is probably the music, very forgettable.

What did the devs think when they pull this bullsh*t? To make gamers also buy your DLC?

This game resembles Nioh in terms of lots of weapons to choose and adapt to your playstyle but with parry mechanic being the core to the game - and because of it an inevitable comparison to Sekiro.

Anyway, I believe the game is sucessful in trying to be its own thing and not a Sekiro clone. In fact I had more fun with it than with Sekiro where I hardly missed customization where here I could find lots of options.

During the main campaing at least for me there were 2 hard stop bosses and 1 gigant fella with ultra ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanic so be aware.

It took me around 30 hours to finish the game and 8 more hours to go through the 2 DLCs and then I have lost interest - I dont believe the DLCs are in the same level of the game.
