This is an action game about cheating above all else: Adalia de Valador's direct moveset is very limited, with most of the depth existing in how she can use her environment to double-cross her foes... And these arenas and environmental details are just RIPE with opportunities for her to do so.

The game does rarely falter when it pits the player against certain enemies in rooms with little more than Adalia's direct moveset to work with, but otherwise its fight is noble in a modern action game landscape often terrified of making encounters featuring anything besides a flat circular arena.

And don't sleep on Arena Mode; it kicks ass!
