The lady with the chainsaw arm, Yuki, is technically a magical girl. Let me elaborate;

> Gets powers from an entity that later turns out to be evil .
> Uses weapons that are archaic, impractical, or implausible.
> Finishes her enemies with flashy, over-dramatic attacks.
> Does not wear clothing usually appropriate for a combat situation. (No armor, no shoes.)
> Casts flashy magical spells.
> You might say that she has no transformation sequence, but I'd argue that the beginning of the game is her transformation sequence. She just doesn't transform back for the rest of the game.

You know I'm right.

Anyway, this is one of the best action games I've ever played.

It's like Ruiner and Salt and Sanctuary fused into a delightfully edgy monstrosity. The combat is a fast-paced bloodbath set to the kind music that gets you accused of devil worship by people who still use Facebook. You choose from one of two characters that make Sonic OCs look saccharine by comparison, then use a variety of weapons along with powers like t u r n i n g i n t o b l o o d to tenderize your enemies until they're soft enough for you to brutally execute.

Combos exist, and you can certainly memorize them and attempt to strategically use them, or you can do what I did and roleplay as that one missile the American army made that has no explosives inside and instead just has several swords attached to it. (I'm not joking, look up "knife missile".)

If you too are a student of the prestigious Rocket-Propelled Chainsaw School of Martial Arts I recommend playing on a controller and rebinding the buttons you most commonly use to the bumpers and triggers (I had attack on RB, heavy attack on RT, grab on LB, and magic on LT.) so you can attack without lifting your thumb off the right stick (Which is used for dashing/blood warp.), allowing you to easily alternate between tearing into people and dodging their counterattacks.

I usually get frustrated when I die in games, but in this one I'm just happy to hear more of the awesome soundtrack and coat the level in more chunky salsa. I really don't know what else to say about Vampire Smile. Do you think those square-shaped, four-stringed medical eye-patches are cool? Does your Spotify playlist sound like your music taste stopped changing by your 14th birthday? Do you like violence? If your answer to at least two of those questions is yes, you'll probably like this game.
