emzodaiki rated BLOODSTROKE

emzodaiki rated a game 14 days ago
A browser game made in HTML5.

Camera is a bit confusing at times with maintaning the direction sometimes and sometimes not. I did not use the dash attack a single time in combat because it doesn't seem to work when I press the middle mouse button, even when using it on walls I need multiple tries to get it to work, I'm not sure why the scroll wheel specifically was used for this, it could've been assigned to anything else, maybe a key next to the movement keys? like Q or E, or maybe if you attack while dashing. I don't understand when enemies will parry me, from the final boss I think they just parry every 5th attack? I really don't like it, it feels like the game is punishing me for no reason, I just get parried and that's it. Attacks could use a little more telegraphs, maybe audio cues too, throughout the whole game I found it difficult to react to the enemies given that the player's attacks lock your movement and there is so little time to react, so often I just facetanked a bunch of bullets which was specially bad in the final fight where I just ate 4 waves of 3 bullets which basically killed me. If I had a little more control over the character, being able to cancel the dash early and the attacks, I think I wouldn't have any issues with the difficulty of the game. I also got a little confused in the end in regards to the map, the game already has recognizable landmarks like the portraits and statues but it'd be helpful if rooms/sections had different colors as well. Game was beaten in 27 minutes and 5 deaths.
