Reviewers praise how the combat feels akin to spectacle fighter titles like Devil May Cry, with a wide variety of combos, aerial maneuvers, and abilities that allow players to string together stylish and devastating attacks.

❤ Unique Healing Mechanic

Instead of traditional health potions, players can obtain "Healing Grenades" that allow them to heal by attacking enemies. This promotes an aggressive, high-risk, high-reward style of play, as players must strategically use the Healing Grenades to sustain themselves in the midst of chaotic battles.
