DEMO - Technically impressive! Disappointing gameplay/combat.

Feedback for devs:

Looks really good, and runs great.

Playing it though, not very fun.

Overall everything is just a bit too slow, and movement is slightly janky and not effective enough in combat. Multiple times I have dodged "in place" as the animation plays but my character is stuck on either the environment or the enemy I am fighting - which leads to another point, the range of attacks is non existent - you need to be touching your collision mesh with the enemy's in order to land hits. I even had some whiffs on the 1st boss when I WAS touching him, literally can't get any closer - range needs a buff badly.

I've been playing these types of games since the original Demons Souls, have beaten all the fromsouls games many times - including Sekiro and Bloodbourne - the combat is not clicking for me. But it isn't hopeless either, there is a good foundation here that just needs tweaks.

I found it very fun; I had an absolute blast with the demo.

The combat feels great; it's responsive, satisfyingly chunky and has a lot of depth. I have not experienced any of the problems you claim. Either the game completely broke for just you and nobody else or this is a skill issue. I'm guessing skill issue.

I've used the bastard and the "balanced" weapon loadout, both had decent range, and I didn't have any problem hitting mobs. I do agree that the basic attacks chain together in a clunky manner, where sometimes I press attack after attacking, but I don't swing the 2nd time, which leads to the enemy hitting me.
