Amazing combat but not for a lengthy storymode

+ one of best indie Kung-fu battle game theme (almost similar sekiro-wise, but static dodge make it distinguished from Sekiro also breakable/pickup weapon available)
+ Cool art direction especially when you're about to facing 2nd boss area
+ Punishable death mechanic make player tread carefully throughout the whole story game mode.

- could be frustrating to players which unfamiliar to deflect/avoid attack from enemies with proper timing, also some hit attack like a truck even on disciple difficulty
- 100% achievements felt like unnecessary filler chores
- cell-shaded graphic is cool but it can be better (my opinion)
- a real short story once you picked up your pace to the end.

8.5/10

So far I've played Prologue and training but im enjoying the game. Unlike most games tagged as difficult this game offers difficulty levels to choose from. I am playing with mouse and keyboard will try with controller soon. I was playing on easy since it is my first play-through. The story is simple so far, you have to avenge - seek justice for the murder of your family by your's father's former student. The game does have super-natural element to it. If you read this review and have played - finished this game let me know if you prefer mouse and keyboard or if this game is meant to be played with controller. I've tried both and prefer mouse and keyboard YMMV.

p.s. - the game is available on HumbleBundle Choice as of writing date of this review[7-Aug-2024UTC+5:30] for $8(at least i got it for $8) along with High on Life and Gotham Knights.

The epitome of "easy to learn, difficult to master". The visuals and sound design make great fighting mechanics even better. This is my ideal podcast game, you can grind for hours and hours slowly getting better and learning more about the enemy types.
