I cannot believe this game has been out for as long as it has, and it still has no directional attacks other than a right side swing, a stab, and an overhead, that still look and feel incredibly janky and unsatisfying almost 2 years later. For some reason, they decided that you didn't need to swing from the left.

Genuinely one of the most ridiculous and infuriating design choices that I have ever seen, and it has absolutely ZERO benefit to the game, other than making it feel very tacky and unfinished. Very very disappointed, despite how fun it was to mess around with the physics, but because of this absolutely insane design choice you are stuck feeling like a default unity character with completely unfinished animations, and as such all the cool moments you might be imagining pulling off with the gore system look really really boring and unimpactful because of how insanely shoddy the animation looks for the swings. They have this weirdly smooth and hollow feeling to them that has absolutely no impact effects other than the gore. And with the incredibly, incredibly annoying restriction of 3 attacks total for ALL WEAPONS IN THE GAME.

Massive, massive shame. Literally all we would need is a 'flip attack angle' button, but for some reason, the developers decided you didn't need this and that their roguelike mode was more important than basic gameplay functions. Instead of fixing and improving the core gameplay, they just decided to forget about it and that it would be a better idea to make a difficult RNG mode with interesting weapons *that you can only do 2 attacks with*. This makes navigating that mode incredibly frustrating and repetitive, alongside the rest of the game once you've messed around with the physics a bit. It becomes a cycle of circle strafing, spamming your right attack (which has the exact same speed for all weapons) and throwing the occasional item. This restrictive gameplay loop makes almost all aspects of the game get incredibly boring and samey after about 3-4 hours. You might find yourself playing it every now and then for 20 minutes, but each time you will come away feeling dissatisfied and frustrated.

Such a shame. Don't invest your money here until they improve the core experience.
