Presentation is top notch, the sounds are good, great graphics and animation, but:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Gameplay feels stunted... Feels like there's just not quite enough to keep me engaged beyond pressing block when I see stuff coming. Some attacks are hard to read, but overall there's not much in reading the enemy, which should be the case since it's a game about watching incoming attacks.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- I feel the singular use of the charge bar was a missed opportunity - maybe releasing at different lengths of it does a different attack, and maybe a heal, or something more tactical, to give me choice.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- The pickups and equipments are a nice touch, but I never know if they do anything (I'm guessing no) and thus it's just a case of pressing the button more.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Lots of great detail, but I wish all of it conspired towards a better game rather than more pixels to push!"},{"author_name":"SaintHeiser","author_uid":"14848","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 5:50pm","epoch":1450287900,"text":"Good game!
