The game has great juicy and occult feel. I was unable to do the sword mechanic (stop as close to the red line as possible, just never matched up with anything I was seeing on screen). In the end, I felt like the combat was intense but my input fairly irrelevant (even though it was fun to listen to and watch). Felt like I was just placing the hitBomb over as many enemies as possible.
I do think this is the start to a game that can go places though and was fun to play.
