❤ Smooth and Stylish Combat

Players rave about the game's exhilarating hack-and-slash combat, which they describe as the best in the series.

The addition of the Death Glove expands the moveset, providing new abilities that add depth and variety to the fighting.

❤ Robust Customization Options

The game lets players customize their playstyle through a diverse array of "chips" that provide passive bonuses. While some options are more useful than others, the wide selection gives players the freedom to tailor the combat to their preferences.

❤ Rewarding Challenge

Many reviewers highlight the game's difficulty, especially on higher settings, as a strength. Enemies and boss fights require mastery of the combat mechanics, leading to a strong sense of accomplishment when players overcome these challenges.
