Game pageFuri: learning to turn the duel around
Repeated attempts turn an opponent you could not beat into a victory. Reviewers find joy in practice becoming progress.
If a well-timed deflection is your kind of satisfaction, reviewers’ enthusiasm for parrying is a useful reason to look closer.
What makes it fun
Parry, then strike
Parry a close-range attack to create an opening, then strike with your sword. Even with little health left, a well-timed parry can put you back on the offensive.
Dodge the barrage, draw your sword
A duel with the same boss can shift from shooting while dodging a barrage to trading sword blows up close. Each shift asks you to change your range and response.
Learn the attack, answer it
Each defeat helps you learn a boss's attack patterns before you try the duel again. Responding to a move that once caught you makes your progress clear.
