“This game has the same problem many souls likes have, one aspect you had going for you in a souls game has been hampered-here it's stamina management. You really have no good way to manage your stamina and it makes things artifically…”
“Game is far from finished, gets repetitive after a while. I'm a sucker for samurai stuff, but there's just no respect for the buyer here.”
