DAIMON BLADES

It's not a EYE 2, thats simple "Find a thing in boring corridors with enemies". Like really, there is no music, no ambient,almost complete silance, the only thing you hear: is voice lines, slashes, damage sounds. Btw you can't run but can use ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dash or grapling hook to move a little faster, does it makes game less boring? No. Walking simulator/10 It doesn't worth in current game state to even try. Maybe if someday it will be finished, maybe then...

Game suffers from the procedural gen looking levels. Honestly the levels are so bad and once you've played a few hours you start to predict the layouts. Its really a shame because this game looks really f'n cool and its just a slapped together barebones effort of a game. The art is f'n amazing please just hire a level designer.

I only play good games, and I have played this.

Good fun, and seems like the performance issues have been resolved (running smooth like butter on a 4060 laptop). Aesthetic is top notch, as is usual for streumon. Wish there was more variety in the runs (more obelisk buffs / alchemy powers / etc.).

Very little changes about your playthrough over the course of the run and between runs. It gets dull quickly. Basic combat is pretty bland, despite the dodge and parry mechanics. I didn't feel the need to change how I engaged with different enemies beyond parry reflecting projectile enemies and chaining heavy attacks on everything else. I'm not sure how much locational damage is going on, as shield-wielding enemies would frequently block my attacks from behind while stunned. Enemy hitboxes are terrible, you can be hit by enemies whiffing the air in front of them while you're behind them, and enemies will phase through your weapon, spawn on top of you, or get stuck in level geometry fairly regularly. Sometimes enemy attacks will blend poorly from hurt reactions/movement, or fail to properly animate at all. I had to use the steam background recording feature a few times to figure out why I lost hitpoints (which is how I realized how bad some of the hitboxes apparently are). English localization of stats/attributes/abilities/effects is terrible, frequently unclear or straight wrong. Some attributes appear to do nothing. The weird "strategy phase" midway through runs feels out of place. Upon completing the run, I felt no desire to play again. Despite all the janky combat it's still fairly trivial to be invincible and the game does not feel very challenging. On the positive side the game's overall aesthetic and environments are interesting and high quality. The fairly samey proc-gen layouts make it lose its luster fairly quickly, though. That is about all I enjoyed.

This is a janky unfun pile of unreal market place assets. The combat is just boring and not enjoyable. Save your money.

The game is like Doom with sentient swords and alot of Latin. 10/10 would dive into alchemical hell with the homies again and again. Looking forward to updates and more content, cuz even the beta has me hooked!
