This game reminds me of Punch-Out in that you have to study your opponent’s movements and react accordingly instead of just charging in with reckless abandon. But that is where the similarities end, since this is a side-scrolling game about swordfighting.

You can get through some sections by blocking, but parrying will give you much bigger openings to attack. I normally don’t get along with games that rely so heavily on parrying, but this one is quite generous with the timing windows and the attack animations so I got the hang of it pretty quickly.

Also, this is the first time I’ve ever ‘finished’ this demo because I never realized you could enter that cave until recently!
