A game that really scratches that dmc itch for us character action game fans. An overall solid game with great music, art and boss fights. The game has an extremely loose scaling system so combos get really long especially with assists added. But they're still simple overall only being made up of differently timed strings that have different purposes in the overall combo structure. The game also contains super moves that do big damage and can be comboed into with relative ease. I want to specifically mention the super "high pitch punch" as it was integral to my playthrough and might be one of the strongest character action game moves i've ever used. Its short range is offset by the fact that:
1. Its starts combos
2. It instantly fills the dizzy meter and
3. IT ONLY COSTS 1 BAR! which means its very easily spammable as certain bosses drop a lot of the energy required for using supers in between phases. I had one boss fight that basically sounded something like this. HIGH PITCH PUNCH, long combo, HIGH PITCH PUNCH, long combo, and so on and so forth. normally this would reduce the fun factor but there is still a ton of execution involved in the combo after landing the super that i think makes it a satisfying move to use overall. 8/10 GOOD ASS GAME go play it.
