I just played this for just over an hour. It's...great! Fast, smooth and hectic. Hiryu swings his sword as fast as you can press the attack button, and he moves...well, pretty much like he always has! It's been given the metrovania treatment (I am really starting to loathe that word) but I don't know, it FEELS like a solid action game. Exploration will net you health upgrades, weapon buffs, flibbidy-gibbits, but any exploration is over quickly so you can get back to RUNNING and FLIPPING and SLASHING and ROBOT BISECTING and wow, it's PRETTY, too.
How the hell did Double Helix manage this? I wonder if there's any of GRIN's work tucked away in there. They were working on a Strider-something when they shut down. _________________ HeavyViper@Twitter ~~~ HeavyViper@Soundcloud
