I love getting beaten up by goth girls. Wait a minute....
Excellent battle system, like the others have mentioned a little tough to use initially without tutorialisation. I ended up having the symbols up on my second monitor which worked out well, but probably isn't ideal or intended.
Visually it's all great, I enjoyed the both the artstyle and the music was a lovely touch. Movement was good too.
I found I had to be extremely accurate with blocking and there were occasions where (I think anyway) the shield was occluding the fist fully, but only just up to the edge, and the hit would come through anyway. Not sure if I missed anything on that mechanic or it's just a case of gamers thinking hitboxes are bigger than they really are.
All in all a really solid entry, thanks.
