Solid souls-like. Combat and bosses were excellent and make it standout from other similar games. I definitely recommend to those who enjoy difficult action RPGs.

The games provider retroactively changed the ToS and does not offer a way to opt out of these changes (which is illegal) - while claiming in their blog post about it, that they do offer said opt out.

Graphics are very polished and the difficulty level is decent. A difficult game but not to a point where you will rage quit due to an unbeatable opponent. The story is simple and it could have been a bit more complex and add a bit of depth.
Overall a good game and an enjoyable moment.

God Tier Combat

Yeah it's based

So, the game is pretty good

Not as good as Lies of P, but better than LotF

The act of inputting button commands probably feels the best out of the 3, however, I don’t think all of the games systems necessarily interact cohesively together

Spamming attacks on enemies that don’t really stagger feels kinda off & lock on can feel janky at times

Not a fan of the Diablo style loot when it’s even more boring than D4’s, feels like character strength is leaning a bit too much in gear stats

Handful of really great bosses near the end of the game, with a mixed bag between them & Viper, who himself is really only difficult due to skill level restrictions in place (still enjoyed his fight)

Level design is pretty bland & not very interesting, along with the lore & story being pretty generic (We been fighting Chaos since FF1, I can only take it so seriously, the way Strangers of Paradise handled the same concept was much more entertaining)

The levels themselves & enemies within them were not a challenge at all, I can count on one hand the number of times I died outside of a boss fight, prior to the final level (chaos tower might be the most annoying area I’ve had to get through since the cliff side in LotF)

I’d probably say the game is around a 7 to an 8, while I didn’t enjoy it as much as some others, still a fun game

absolute cinema

Would not recommend. The game gets really boring really fast. Only 3 weapon types. No real ability to create fun builds. Its all the same. Story is super bland, makes you want to skip everything, I can only recommend it if you have a bad itch for playing something similar to Nioh and want something to keep you busy for a couple of hours until then.

Its already in my top 10 souls like of all time, combat is freaking amazing, Ben Starr Amazing, soundtrack, bosses, skills, cant wait for more content.

Don't get me wrong, this is a 10/10 game and I absolutely love it. The combat is a 10/10 and most of the bosses are the perfect souls-like types (even if the side missions are just reskinned versions of main story mission areas and bosses). I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone who is looking for another good souls-like.

So why am I leaving a negative review?

It is because of the notice that the publisher just recently released saying that later this month they are updating their terms of service to say that if you continue to play their games, then you will be agreeing to waive your right to arbitration with them. Have a dispute with them over a transaction? You gotta sit there for 60 days before you can even take it to a small claims court. So good luck. Oh but you can opt out of the terms..... by physically mailing a letter. What?? Why???

Khazan, at least as far as I know while writing this review, does not have any microtransactions and no apparent need for third-party system/account setups or logins. So while this notice may be more applicable to their other games, changing their terms to apply to ALL of their published games is not a good thing. If you have disputes, you should be able to address it within reasonable time frames and means, and I think their update is meant to prevent that.

So in all fairness, great game, but I cannot with good conscience recommend anyone purchase it unless they are willing to agree to their terms.
