❤ Fluid and Responsive Combat

Players praise the game's combat as a refined and polished version of the classic "one versus thousands" musou gameplay. Reviewers describe the combat as fluid, responsive, and satisfying, allowing them to unleash devastating combos and special attacks to mow down hordes of enemies. One reviewer highlights the sense of power and exhilaration from cutting through large groups of foes.

❤ Revamped Weapon System

One notable change is the revamp of the weapon system. Unlike previous titles that had each character wielding a unique weapon, this game allows players to use any weapon type. However, each character has preferred weapon types that provide unique special moves and combos. While some reviewers miss the character-specific movesets, others appreciate the added flexibility this system provides.

❤ Thrilling Special Attacks

Players enjoy the inclusion of powerful special attacks, such as "Ultimate Skills" and character-specific "Rage Moves." Reviewers describe these special abilities as visually stunning and tremendously satisfying to execute, allowing them to decimate groups of enemies.

❤ Varied Playstyles

Although the weapon system homogenizes the movesets to some degree, reviewers note that the different weapon types still offer varied playstyles and approaches. Weapons like the great spear, twin katanas, and fists are highlighted as providing unique and enjoyable combat experiences.

❤ Streamlined Progression

The game's progression system, which allows players to level up weapons and unlock upgrades, is praised for being straightforward and not overly grindy. Reviewers appreciate the lack of bloat, enabling them to focus on the core hack-and-slash gameplay without being bogged down by excessive customization or repetitive grinding.

❤ Cooperative Multiplayer

While the cooperative multiplayer mode has some limitations, such as only being able to play missions that both players have completed in single-player, reviewers still find the cooperative experience to be an enjoyable addition. One player mentions the highlight of being able to tackle the battlefield alongside a friend.
