Despite the many mixed reviews I saw before playing this game, it ended up being a pretty decent time. I will say though that you should NOT play this game by yourself. This is best enjoyed with one other friend at least, and I think you'll get the most out of it that way.

The gameplay is varied and distinct between each of the classes. I chose the Shinobi, and his mobility really made getting around a whole lot easier. I can see how backtracking through levels could get really annoying, as I saw my friend, who played Witch, having to experience. It was fun locking onto enemies and spamming them with attacks. It really comes in handy.

There isn't too much in level or enemy variety, which is the main reason I think playing this game solo could be an absolute slog. Having those other players there to work with you and take on bosses really enhances the experience a lot. There's definitely plenty they could do to make the gameplay better if they ever make a sequel. I think getting rid of some of the tedium in level variety and structure would help a lot. And just ironing out all the little janky things for quality of life.

I still enjoyed my time though, and I think this series has a lot of potential if they ever make a sequel (which I would actually love). There's more I could say but I think that's enough. I think half the price it currently is is good for this game. Also, like I said before, a great one with friends.
