This was awesome. Honestly I just finished ghosts of tsushima and i'm really into the samurai vibe right now, so maybe it's just me, but I 100% enjoyed everything about this title, save for the fact that I wish it was longer!
I loved the black/white pallete contrasted heavily with the blood, that was a really smart choice, adds so much to the game in my opinion.
Defeating an enemy too has that super satisfying blood hiss. You kinda almost have a bit of a rythm game on your hands, between reflect, slice slice slice, hiss, its like
"thing, fwip fwip fwip hisssssssss"
and you get into a flow-state from that, that part of your game, if you ever decide to do more with it, I feel like that's a really hard thing to get right, and you allready have a really really good foundation for it.
If there was one thing I would change, is just dial up the "juice" of killing an enemy to 10, really really dig into making that kill as satisfyingly as possible.
Well done, very well done, very impressed here, thank you for uploading this hidden gem!
I saw you play my game on stream allready, so i wont ask you review mine! Just hope this feedback is helpful to you in anyway
