i am very biased towards top-down games

Has good mechanics—always a fan of being able to parry attacks (eventually became a parry God once I got the hand of it).

I would kill to have this expanded upon, for what it was I had a lot of fun and I absolutely love dark souls and this was super fun and cute.

Only nitpick is you're missing a parry sound, which is the more satisfying part of  the parry/riposte in dark souls.

The riposte takes a bit getting used to, but is super satisfying, especially with the zoom in, it feels like an Assassin's Creed take down.

Also you're right about bugs. The enemies pushed me upward and ascended me to godhood. im untouchable, but so are they. Now they just look like simps. But I had fun! Continue building this!

I think there's really big potential for this game! Biggest downside I think was how slow and lumbering the attacks are, it didn't feel very responsive. Some improvements to the game feel can make this game really great!

This was really fun! definitely looking forward to the full game! Also after 1 or  2 riposte the enemies just gave up attacking and started hugging da michi lol
