The game is really hard. Probably too hard for me. But I don't yet really understand the mechanics. The only thing I understand is the parry, but there's no way I will ever be able to pull it off. You have to push forward on the d-pad at the exact right moment when the enemy is about to attack, which is frankly nonsensical and the dumbest parry mechanic I have ever experienced.
The tutorial is pretty bad. It's very old school... So they throw a bunch of moves and mechanics at you, listing them one by one, and then just throw you into the game. There's special moves that you can pull off by switching quickly from light attack to heavy attack quickly, but I don't quite get it. You can't spam them, as you have to build up some kind of bar. There are also two moves you can do with both right shoulder buttons... Again, don't really understand what either do and can't seem to use either, because I assume I need to build up my bar, but can't work out how...
Despite the above, I managed to beat a level last night and get awarded an S rank
As for performance, yeah it does chug a bit at times. I can get why that might become an issue if you actually understand what you're doing and aren't just borderline button mashing like me.
