A half decent 2D brawler in the vain of Golden Axe. Really great graphics and art style however it isn't the most engaging and I could only play it short spurts really. There are a number of combos you can do however it really boiled down to doing the same one over and over which proved to be a perfect tactic for getting through most of the levels and dealing with most enemies. There were some difficulty spikes here and there but with plenty of health drops, for the most part you were able to survive them if you kept your wits about you.

I enjoyed my time with it, although I must say I nearly gave up twice, once when I realised I had borked my character (with no respec available) by not investing in "defence" when levelling up, meaning I took way too much damage in the later levels, and a second time when I hit a bug which stopped enemies spawning and the level progressing.

Thankfully I was able to get past the first issue by using some "defence crystals" which could be bought from town, these gave a temporary boost to defence meaning I could get through the levels I was having trouble with, slowly upgrade my defence stat over the next 6 level ups and eventually wean myself off the Crystals. The second issue I was able to get past after finding a helpful forum post on Steam which detailed a solution, simply ALT+TAB out of the game and back in again.. which weirdly worked. Enemies spawned again and the level progressed.

Problems aside I did play it to completion so it can't have been that bad and 6 hours was just enough I think.
