“I don't usually write reviews. But this game is like a work of art, it's straddling the line between genius and ♥♥♥♥ at all times. I don't know if the cut scenes are actually terrible or if they did it on purpose. And…”
“Why does this have mixed ratings?! This is an outstanding action game with rock solid base mechanics, both for melee and ranged combat, and the dialogue is like putting Tarantino, Twin Peaks and OG RE4 in a blender,…”

“literally one of the worst games I have ever played, it's so bad it's funny! thankfully I only got it for £1.46”
“if you can get this on sale and only play on easy its a good time waster”
“Got this at a heavy discount and glad I didn't pay a lot for it. This is xbox 360 jank in the...best way, let down by the voice acting and story. This is Wet, Ghost in the Shell, Max Payne 2, and so much more rolled…”

“I can't recommend thus game the combat isn't good & it feels jank, the voice acting is fine from almost everyone except for the main character Hannah her voice acting sounds terrible. The check point system isn't good…”

“1st try I played 26 minutes. Enjoyed the jank but felt brutally difficult on normal. Spread out checkpoints made it worse. Tried it again many months later but this time on easy. Felt more manageable but still a good…”

“I have tried to get into this game three times now, and while on paper it sounds like something I would enjoy I just can't. The difficulty, the awkward controls and the jank come together to create something that just…”
“The controls feel like there turn based the player only gets one move at a time. Really like the finishing moves really look great but the combat is just not there for me.”

“Finally decided to give this a shot after bouncing off the latest Suda51 Romeo. Patches may have made a difference, combat is butter. No air combos, just tactical grounded mixed combat. Very Wick inspired in a way, bespoke level design with a shocking amount of destructible…”

— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“After a bit of deliberation, decided not to recommend this game. It's decent, comfy even. Like a cool 90s action flick, or one of those janky XBOX360 action games you'd find in the bargain bin. There's a ghost of a good game in here, but it's buried underneath a ton of bugs, odd…”
