    Awesome Parrying

    Despite the combat being a bit slow, that does not take away from the combat! It is super satisfying timing your parrying, deflections, and dodges. The bosses are awesome fun challenge with each one being really unique so you don’t get bored. I’ve enjoyed the characters a lot even though the English voice acting is a little corny. (Would recommend Japanese voice acting with English subtitles.) The levels you go to are designed really well and just look really pretty to look at. Played this on the Switch 2 and would recommend uncapping for a better time. I have not a had a problem with game running on the Switch and it’s really impressive it can even run on it super well!
