    It's been less than a day in early access and yet I'm surprised at just how good the game is. When I was first playing there was some really bad issues with tooltips, and the ui not being fully translated but luckily they hotfixed it within hours. The devs really follow the hub closely to. I posted a bug report and had a reply within minutes from a dev even though it was night over there in Korea. The combat is great though and entirely skill based. Armour doesn't really last long and falls apart after a couple hits so it doesn't matter much. Higher leveled weapons give you a slight edge but not to much. Default weaponry holds it's own against leveled weaponry very well. Each of the different weapon classes also has a huge affect on your playstyle. I've used the one handed sword style the most followed by duel wielding since it just matches my playstyle pretty well that I developed in Chivalry. A lot of people I've seen though opt for the board and sword or warhammer though. This game is going to get a great competitive scene going I think.

    A terrible tutorial hides a surprisingly complex combat system. While this game suffers from latency issues and some balancing issues the foundation is solid. Combat flows but is based on MMORPG stunlocky combat. This can either be a feature or a flaw depending on the person. Recommended because there are no other games like this and shows promise.

    Take a good look at it, it shows promise but that's only if we can get more people on board to play the game.

    A good game with the potential of becoming great. Combat in general is pretty fun, although it could take some getting used to. Currently suffers from small playerbase and lack of polish, but if you're looking for a multiplayer dueling action game I can pretty confidently recommend it. Also, the developers are very responsive to feedback and are constantly patching the game.

    Many of us have watched countless great games be crushed despite our passions and efforts to keep them alive. Mine were FOGRE and God Factory. This game falls under very familiar circumstances. Here is the reality of this game from my perspective... CONS: Low population (Which deters players) Pay to Play (The antithesis of swift population growth) No recognizable IP (Uphill battle to gain mass appeal) Unpolished (Lots of bugs and presentation issues) Incomplete (Market? Co-Op Mission Modes?) PROS: Innovative Mechanics (Companies that try something new and take risks should be supported) Skill Based Combat (Simple to Learn Difficult to Master) Consistant Excitement (You will find yourself screaming, laughing, and looking forward to every match) Multi-Form Progression (Weapons, Armors, Crafting, Looting, Lvling, Learning/Customizing Skills, etc) My Ruling: So do I recommend this game? Absolutely. I purchased it for myself, *edit* 2 friends, and have been spreading the word to others. Will this game survive? I do not know the company well, the circumstances mimic many great failures before it, but I am willing to give them my $10 - $15 in support of innovation, for some great fun, and will be contributing bug reports in an effort to improve the experience for everyone. What I can tell you for sure is this... If you do not purchase this game, do not support innovation, and everyone else follows suit, not only will this game fail but the stagnation of creative new games will continue. Don't wait to join what is successful. Be part of creating success. I hope this review was helpful.

    This game might be new and all but there is way too many bugs for released.(No stamina, frozen characters, getting stuck in the blocking animation and getting stuck in walls)

    Pretty cool game although dont buy it if you're austrlian. servers are all overseas and not really worth the time.

    If you landed here on impulse; make the purchase. I used to play GunZ: The Duel, and I felt instantly at home with this game. Sure you're can't K style, but the feeling of dominating your opponent through real time calculated decisions, a parry, a grab, or the satisfying feeling of offing your foe with a gruesome ultimate finisher. The community is small- but I haven't been able to not play if I wanted to due to lack there of. Been looking for a pvp game to play without having to put too much effort into grinding/leveling and this is perfect. You can customize your character and will recieve equipment after matches, weight/endurance mechanic with armor, etc. Only complaint is WHERE DA SPEARS AT?! lmao.

    Awesome in concept, buggy in practice. I love this game, it's got a great combat system, pretty well balanced arenas and it looks great. Only problem is it lags most of the time which makes you watch your character attack with no result and then get creamed as it catches up with what actually happened. When it's not lagging there's game breaking bugs, like spawning in with no wepon or you have a weapon but no shield, or equipment just decides that it's both equiped and not at the same time ruining your characters defence. Good game but wait and see if they fix all this shit before you buy it. If they fix these bugs I'll fix my review but for now DON'T BUY.

    Skill based. Combat can be a bit "clunky", but overall, a fun action game.
  • Clockwork

    Aug 30, 2016

    I'd like to recommend this, but I can't. Although the basic combat mechanics are solid, they're completely negated by abysmal latency and completely incomprehensible hit-detection, which have turned every game I've played so far into a contest to see whose internet is fastest while everyone else gets destroyed by attacks that were, from their perspectives, miles away from them. Instead of fights being fast-paced back-and-forths of attacks and counters, they devolve into nothing more than dodging/blocking frantically and hoping that your latency is better than the other guy's.

    This game is actually so much fun. I never write reviews for games but I had to for this because there's not a lot of people who play it and there needs to be more. Easily worth what the devs are asking for it.

  • Hyankinthos

    Sep 18, 2016

    Played a lot of the Demo for a few hours and then decided to buy it and then get a refund right afterwards due to the BS meta of single sword/Dual sword where you have a 5 combo that takes away half health no matter what to an infinite combo where you literally can't do anything about it. Only people who play this often is the ones from the very start who are level 30 (max). As soon as you go into a game I bet a level 30 will be waiting for you to abuse the fuck out of you with their OP gear towards a low level. Plus the netcode is utter shit, dodging doesnt do anything since there is no I-Frames, plus you will rubberband back to your original position if youre stuck at anytime of getting away. Warhammer is seriously underwhelming where it only has a 2 hit combo for the damn skills while every other weapon has 3. Only viable skill is the Q but people with single sword can easily block it even during their attack phase from what I experienced. Greatsword is the only heavy weapon that can actually do something against people since it actually has 3 combo skills but even then half the time the keys dont even register and youre just left standing there with a thumb up your butt when you have full stamina. Every other weapon in the game can do an infinite combo or a bs combo where you hit 5 times and either take away half of the health or kill the person entirely. Also the game itself is super buggy and combat for heavy weapons is no where near smooth at all and feels very locked down like Monster Hunter while other weapons move in a fashion similar to Blad Symphony able to do whatever it fucking wants. Game is not fun getting your ass handed to you by max level people using gear that does insane and bs damage. But hey if youre into getting utterly raped then go ahead you sick fuck.

    I bought this game and I hate to say it but....it was my first requested refund. The controls were clunky, the game felt dated.....reminded me of a "Bargain Bin" PS3 game. It wasn't worth my $15, and it isn't worth my time to say anymore than avoid this one.....

    This game is really really really good and exactly the kind of game i looked for ... but theres 2 big problems.. 1. Theres alot of buggs 2. theres very few that play the game I hope we get some more players in the game soon and thanks for an awesome game

    Stiff controls, bad animations and poor performance. It seems that no one plays it, which also detracts from the experience since it's meant to be a PvP game. Another complaint is I can't rebind a good amount of the combat binds. I mean, really?
