Counter an enemy’s attack, then follow with a combo. Reviews describe combat becoming more enjoyable as its timing clicks.
What makes it fun
Read the strike, start the combo
Learning an enemy's windup helps you land a Clash, stagger them, and follow up with a combo. Reading an attack creates an opening to strike back.
Find a reason to take another path
Choosing a different branch lets you pursue quests and look for secrets. After a failed run, another route gives you a place to explore next.
Build around summons
Combining upgrades can let you summon skeletons or strange creatures. You can shape a run around fighting alongside them rather than relying on close combat alone.
