Seem pretty good to me but someone said just 3 weapon types

[D. Flame]

-too slow-paced
-too parry-focused
-lacks the feel of a DFO berserker

I really liked it. I completed it 5 or 6 times, tried different builds and the game just connected with me. There were very few things I didn't like.
If the rest of the game is the same, I will probably buy it, but I will wait for reviews and footage to see if there anything I dislike about the complete product.

3 weapon types, not 3 weapons, each weapon type can be customize the moveset to meet your playstyle.

and the game is solid, don't listen to any n00b that said the combat is slow, you can chain the attack to longer and faster combos:

It's ok. The skilltrees seem interesting for there being only three weapon types. I annihilated the Blade Phantom with the spear and greatsword, and liked that the spear actually has range. Seems like it's trying to mix Souls with Nioh/Wo Long, more towards Wo Long so you gain a huge advantage focusing on stamina damage and of course sharpening up just guard timing. Dodge timing is good too but mostly to help getting the just guard right.

While I'm not a big fan of big swords, I do like that the greatsword here actually has weight to it, unlike other games and even Souls, even the big enemies will react to it when caught in a combo. Also combat is in-between slow/methodical and fast paced.

It's not amazing, but it's not bad either, it's just... ok. Though I'd say get it on a good sale.

That's nice and all but currently the game doesn't encourage you to actually do these. The options are there, but it falls into the old 2000s action game dilemma, where you unlock all those combos/tech but find that one (usually early) is the best one and the only reason you'd use any other technique is to gimp yourself or if you're bored. In the time you take to do those combos, someone can just stamina break with just guards, counters, and a brutal with less effort.

Notice how you are killing the enemy and are landing a riposte of them to regen your stamina? If you get to an enemy that you can't one combo, you are left standing around waiting for stamina to slowly regen.

And that is what makes it slow paced.

I have already proven this time and again.

Just sad, its a game about being a berserker and they decided to do souls like combat. I love Elden Ring but this slow combat style is not only getting boring but does not fit this kind of theme. Slow moving and boring combat, just another wanna be souls game....

It's obviously nowhere near as good as Project BBQ would have been since it's just a single-player ARPG but it's better than the trash FromSoft put out.

I was put off at first, but after adapting to how the game actually wants to be played, its was a blast. Beat it few times on both Steam and PS5. The Skill trees have a massive potential to turn Khazan from a slow clunky lumbering fool into a living beyblade.

noob take tbh. the combat is only "slow" if you completely fail to utilize the combos you unlock.

so, playing badly will make it "slow paced"? You don't say..

It's just boring that so many games are just copying Darksouls, i like Darksouls but it's getting way to over saturated with this style of combat.

Using all your stamina to do all the damage you can without leaving yourself vulnerable is NOT playing badly.

I don't know why people keep using this particular brand of copium when it so blatantly wrong. I mean it would be one thing if you used up all your stamina, then got blown up for it, but that is clearly not what happens.

Sometimes I wonder if Dark Souls was a mistake because of that lol. Afaik no game in the past couple decades has been copied as much as it in some capacity. Some have put their own spin on it and made it faster/more complex like Nioh. Then there's just cut n paste jobs with a different skin like pre-update Darksiders 3 (post update you can just make it Darksiders), Lords of the Fallen (probably both tbh), The Surge, Hellpoint, etc.
Before Souls, action games and ARPGs went after the God of War style but not nearly as much as Souls (even Ys was doing it... though they were good games lol). Most if not all Souls-likes or Souls inspired titles try the same troll design choices that worked when Demons' Souls was new like obvious ambushes next to curiously placed loot, monster cubbyholes leading to an easy death, etc.

It's meh.

A solid 6/10 game.

The real tragedy is that this trash was the reason BBQ got cancelled.

Absolutely mind-boggling.

The Berserker in BBQ played like an actual Berserker instead of a Tarnished.
