Only way I could really enjoy this game is by treating it as a dress-up game- with all the pretty armors and weapons you can put on your character, because the actual gameplay is awful - TO ME at least :

There are a lot of "moves" that you can make, which the tutorial FAILS to bloody explain it to you . You see, you can "drag" and "accel" as in make your attack animations be slower, or faster thus allowing you to actually hit your opponent, something that the tutorial DOES NOT MENTION. Why exactly do I need three hours of watching youtube just to get a pretty basic maneuver ?

No one is really playing this game, except most of the time it's just one guy swinging a mallet at the speed of light with a score higher than all the other current online players combined.

As with the other "medieval hand to hand multiplayer games" of this type, players can exploit the animations to achieve unstoppable attacks and easily win . The community of course is heavily divided on this subject, some claiming this is part of the game and to "get good" , others - like me - saying it is COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to be able to swing to abuse this system to swing the heaviest and slowest weapons in the game faster than an average player can swing the fastest

I'd love to "put in the time" to "learn the game dude, it's not hard to tripple feint stab morph to overhead swing wessex drag lmao learn to play lol" but If there's no one else on my skill level than I can't be bothered to try.
