Terrible input detection?

[Freya]

I started playing the game, and for a few hours I noticed the game tends to eat your inputs very often. Like how you can't shoot right after landing which will waste your charge. Or if you try to dodge to the opposite site right after landing the 3rd hit of your attack against an enemy, it will always make you dodge forward immediately which for a few bosses it ended up making me take damage outside of my control.

And speaking of taking damage outside of my control. The worst example of this so far has to be the demon wings which will only work 3 times out of 5 attempts, which of course makes it an unreliable method of both avoiding damage or for platforming.

And as if the terrible input detection couldn't get any worse with the demon wings, if the game fails to make you dash in the air, no matter how many times you try to mash the air dash button, nothing will happen until you land on the ground again. Meaning that it might as well not be an input problem, and it could just be the game engine thinking it already air dashed but without coming out. Which might explain why trying to press it more than once will still not work.

I haven't played more than that so far, so does it get better or does the input problem just keep getting worse?

I think the demon wings is the only thing I have an input issue with.

I read a comment by one of the devs saying a patch to fix a lot of issues was coming "very VERY soon". But that comment was made in January... Is the patch still coming or was it cancelled?

You also cannot turn around in the middle of a combo, and jumping can be unresponsive. This game needs fixing.

Same problem

Not only that, but you can't turn after ending a combo. So if you are used to dodging aside after finishing a combo in other games, you are going to have a hard time in this game since you are always going to end up rolling forward.

The game is good but it desperately needs patching in areas like this. It's been 6 months and no word from the developers.

Casual handful of months later, I too am screaming whenever the demon wings refuse to activate even after standing on land for a few seconds. I am spamming the shift key and am screaming all the way down. Trying to do puzzle platforming like the one in shady alley is hell with the inconsistency.

It's sad to see how much work went into this game only for it to fizzle out because of neglect and burnout.
