Combat is terrible

[Maviard IV]

Why are you so sensitive and defensive?
You are sharing your opinion (combat bad)
And I'm sharing mine (combat good)
Is everything alright friendo?

You Haven't specified anything about the combat in the first place, just stated that its terrible not well developed or implemented, whatever you mean by that is anyone's guess.

It is sort of objectively bad though(as in, it doesn't actually work properly).
holding a shield in front of a weapon swing will often have the weapon clip through the shield, even spear heads can hit your body straight through the shield.
due to the clipping issues with a lot of items, you cannot fight 'properly' and in almost every case, people resort to either spamming the heck out of left and right swings, backpedal, or abuse the spears, scythes and triple shield setup.
Sure you can beat the game without swinging at breakneck speeds, but when the vast majority of the visual (by visual I mean streamers, youtubers etc, you get it) playerbase resorts to doing that, it kind of forms a pattern that something's not right.

Does it matter though? not really (IMO), to me the game is fun, the combat is wonky and if i want a more tactical experience, I just load up exanima.
And again, the game is more than likely just meant to be a fun meme project aimed at twitch and so on, like many other wonky indie titles.

It's fun and I enjoy it for what it is.

Exanima is a good game, but it is also an isometric game that you don't fully control the location of your swings. This? You can sweep their legs, knock the weapons out of their hands, end it all in one blow (which you can also do in exanima.) and so much more. The combat is not "Terrible." it is physics based and those physics, are wacky and hard to program properly, but the developers imo did a fantastic job.

what do you mean? you dont like the 0.01 second gap between an enemy holding their weapon facing 90 degrees to their left out into the air and it teleporting it into your throat killing you with no counterplay available because you cant possibly move your mouse in any meaningful way to block or parry? crazy that you wouldnt enjoy this novel fotm that surely will last a decade

The combat isn't terrible but if it's to have some depth and be taken more seriously, it needs a stamina meter, realistic limb acceleration and body rotation to account for added blow strength. The best tactic for now seems to be to just madly swing weapons left and right as fast as possible and mow down anyone that comes close.

[Kichikuou Rance]

The combat is pretty awful, but right now it just seems like a meme game. As Unter said, there needs work on their systems or the meta will just be flail around, or as I've noticed, hold out a spear. There's no real back and forth.
