And here we are at the end. Even with having to redo one of the missions due to a soft lock, I was able to finish all 7 final levels in a short amount of time. The last few levels really threw a lot of enemies at you at once, powerful stuff. As you'd expect such a game to do. Though, the Magic Sword was just so powerful it allowed us to breeze through these levels. It attacks fast and has a bunch of durability, and fortunately there's several laying around in the final levels. Even if one can take you entirely through two levels.

Ultimately? The game's not good. It lacks the polish that would make it a classic. But where it counts, the feel of the combat, they got it right. They really did, I truly enjoyed how the melee combat felt. Each weapon had a different attack speed, and they lined up perfectly with the animations. You could poke in and hit and then jump back to dodge enemies. That's what I want to see, what I want the game to feel like. There's entertainment to be had in this game. But do I recommend it? Only if this is something you think you'd enjoy. Because, if you like the idea of a janky early Build engine melee based game, then it does deliver. If you don't like the sound of that, the game's certainly not going to sway your opinion. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/the_nametag
