I kind of hated it until it clicked about 40 minutes in. If you're struggling with the SORD WAMMAN, the two-hander spirit feels a lot more capable of dealing with large groups of enemies, which is the main frustration I had.
The game is at its best in 1v1 fights and feels REALLY unfair when they gang up on you. Still worth playing, get it when they go on sale.

Playing this feels like the one and only time I tried online Street Fighter. 90% of my attacks get dodged, blocked, or I get grabbed and/or stunlocked. I'm bad enough at fighting games as is, but the especially sluggish controls make it even worse. Shame because the art is wonderful and I loved Zeno Clash 1 and 2 from the same developer.
