it's pretty good, I get that it's supposed to be a boss focused game but it feels kinda empty with boss after boss after boss. wish there were more run-n-gun levels. after 6 years in development there isn't much variety of content

I just played it for 5 hours straight.

No regrets.

i'm all for a challenge but sometimes easy mode is lovely if you just want to feel like a god. like in DMC games i always play on easy atleast once as thats more how I picture dante, I don't picture him actually struggling with any fight. the cutscenes definitely don't make it seem like he ever struggles except for maybe the main villain.

contra seem harder. I think it's because you have to restart after 3 or 7 lifes in contra... also one hit kills.

this game is easy.

It's sooooo goooood, like, I'm in awe, I kind of expected it to be a super easy silly little straight beat-it-and-it's-done thing, but they went and did the ranking system which adds so much to it, ensuring that it challenges even people who are already familiar with the genre. Working my way on A+ing each level as I go through, only skipped a couple because the timer seemed ridiculous strict and I'm hoping there's an upgrade that helps with speed later.

My one gripe is requiring 3 parries for the A+ is a bit annoying since whether or not a shot is parryable is usually RNG. It seems like they're trying to justify the parry mechanic's existence by making it required in every fight. I think just one or two would be better since 3 is pushing the line of the RNG, it absolutely feels like on some bosses there's a good chance you'll kill them before they even shoot a third pink shot (which almost happened once: the boss died within a second of firing the third shot. I could have gotten it if I immediately stopped firing, but I was too late).

(it is worth noting it does still seem a bit on the easy side, even when going for perfection, just for the fact each individual fight is so short and doesn't require THAT much precision. Hopefully the lategame will offer longer fights.)

yeah yeah there's always people saying the "hard" games are so "easy"

There are actually a few bugged levels that are impossible to reach the time goal. Hopefully they patch them soon.

I like this game but I fucking suck at it, and after I die a few times to one boss it just ceases to be fun to me.

Just not my cup o' tea I guess.
