Frankly at first I was weirded out since there's basically the deep of night everywhere like a fog of war and you're supposed to be sneaking but obviously you're gonna get jumped again and again. I think the knowledge of the level's enemy placement would be the best way to deal with this, or you can just yolo it and win regardless. There is something to master, but the only "feel good" thing about it is ranks. Apart from that, the combat is stiff but it works, although it's somewhat abusable and the music is really interesting; some really odd picks that end up being very cool.
