Really cool game overall. I love its moxie. The gameplay is fun if a bit frustrating, and the style and theming is superb. Its use of “control” is effective as well.
But I will heartily echo the sentiment that it’s frustrating when I correctly click when a red rope is in the parry zone, and it ends up not mattering because it was too late. I can’t tell you how many times I did that. I wasn’t able to progress past the third battle, so I may have to really get good and come to try again later.
