O que eu mais gostei neste jogo é que todas as mecânicas já estão disponíveis desde o início. Não é o personagem que se torna mais poderoso ao longo do tempo, mas sim o jogador que aprende a se adaptar às mecânicas do jogo, utilizando-as de forma cada vez mais eficiente em cada inimigo e em cada fase.
Jogo desafiador em excesso. O parry é muito restrito e a animação do mesmo não é clara. Para um jogo que se inspira tanto em sekiro, pecar nesse aspecto é triste. Infelizmente não recomendo.

First cut: Samurai duel с сюжетом
норм игра
1000 Cuts: Jomaku (2024, разработчик — Banjo Toad Studio) — бесплатный инди‑слэшер в стиле Dark Souls. Суть: сыграть за Хироюки, изгнанного сына самурая, и разобраться с борьбой за власть в клане. Каждое решение влияет на сюжет. Ключевые особенности: жанр: экшен, приключение, слэшер, тёмное фэнтези; сеттинг: феодальная Япония с элементами фольклора; геймплей: динамичные бои с мгновенной смертью, использование окружения, уклонения и парирования; графика: пиксельная, 2.5D, вид сбоку; особенности: 3 концовки, решения с последствиями, секретный босс, более 10 скрытых котиков; дополнительные элементы: разблокируемые улучшения и три альтернативных видеорежима; платформа: PC (Steam); модель: free‑to‑play; длительность: короткое насыщенное приключение (~1–3 часа); достижения Steam: есть. Минусы: высокая сложность; короткая продолжительность; одиночный режим (нет мультиплеера). Итог: хардкорный пиксельный слэшер для фанатов Dark Souls и самурайской тематики — цепляет атмосферой, боями и выбором пути героя.
O jogo é muito legal, mas tem vários bugs, e teve muitos chefes que não encontrei e esta no trailer
it softlocks you between doors, enemies have longer range than you and by the love of god do they talk too much
