Broken Spell? Broken game!

Purchased this game as the premise (a Chinese Action RPG with a supernatural bent) offered a different take on the genre and I wanted to support the indie development scene over there. Unfortunately, this game is hopelessly faulty, even after their supposed patch and bug fixes released earlier this year.

A list of key things that DON'T work:
* For an indie game, the voice overs were actually decent in the intro trailer and was one of the reasons I bought the game so I could follow the story. Unfortunately, there is NO VOICE OR SPEECH in the game (a bug which got introduced by their latest patch update it seems - why would an "update" remove a key feature from the existing game?! - go figure)
* Hence you have to rely on reading the English translated subtitles which are... horrendous. The text is inconsistent, often incomprehensible and shows zero QA - e.g. in one sentence a guy is referred to as 'Stewart' and in the next sentence it becomes 'Stuart'
* Saving function is broken - there is no manual save and there is NO indication when the game is auto-saving. As a rule, the game is auto-saved after every stage/boss encounter (as you would expect) but even this breaks down - I spent an hour clearing one stage and moving to the next one, only to have to restart the stage right from the start when I resumed the game.
* Game-play mechanics are a complete shambles - almost every attack by the enemy stuns you for half a second, during which you can't do anything and can't run or roll away. So if you have two enemies that take turns attacking you, guess what? You are perpetually stunned while the enemies whittle your health away. There is no skill/finesse/planning at all, just a really woeful game-play design.
* Best of all, you can't even reach some enemies - they get stuck in/on/within trees, tables, etc. and you have to goad them out of those objects they are stuck in before you can actually attack them, and this whole process is hit and miss.
* The game is so bad it seems even the developer/publisher has given up on it - I tried to reach them three times via the game's forum on Steam, and four times via direct email, and ZERO response or acknowledgement. So I give up too.

Avoid this game.

The Game isn't to bad, Just is riddled with issues. Skills is not the same, Each button push feels random, [2] for the spin kick, well First push you might do a 360 tornado spin kick, second button push might just be a 180 degree spin kick, The UI doesn't update, Half the time the skill icons would be full, but on a cool-down? [A] and [D] Needs to be reworked, When I push Left or right, I expect a side-step, Like every other third person fighting / shooting game out there, Not a full flip to the side, It makes the game harder than it should be when you try to sneak around an enemy and Well ♥♥♥♥ me silly! I side flipped off a godamned ledge. You can't break the enemy attacks but they can break your attacks. Half the time when I tried to use the moves, I didn't even start the animation because Oh welp, Enemy hit me and broke the attack. Oh and No Cool-down on the enemies special moves, so expect the goblin to ♥♥♥♥ you like a little ♥♥♥♥♥, cause He will spam that fire attack which will put you in the loop of being knocked back on fire, to stand up and welp knocked back again.

Utter ♥♥♥♥♥. Was able to have a wank in the first 3 minutes to it but everything else was god awful. I wasn't expecting much for the price but this was just rubbish.com

10/10 for anime tiddies though.

Was kind of expecting it from the trailers, this game is the single greatest game to have ever been created, got to say getting stun-locked by every single enemy in the first level just feels amazing, having to choose between a roll you cant control and walking as fast as my parkinson's ridden grandmother is a bold move by the devs that im sure will pay off, in short,
11/10 Would recommend

12/10 game, I really like the effort put into the cutscenes and the absolute mega hagoons. Game is so fanum tax and baby gronk. Skibidi ohio sigma rizz 100% (the combat was so epic)

P.S. One cutscene made me LMAO my ass off :OMEGADANCE:
