I thought the idea was good, but the pacing was rather slow. It felt like I was just fighting over and over again and eventually because of this I got bored. One thing that may have helped with this is less enemies in each area or a locking on mechanic or weaker enemies in general or better knockback. Either somewhat to make hitting enemies more satisfying and take less time so I can progress to new areas faster. I like the idea, but I don't want to get bored from an action game.
