Current Events > The melee combat in Callisto Protocol looks really bad.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like some Arkham Asylum button promp trash. Press the big glowy button to do a giant animation locked dodge that is basically a 1.5 second cutscene.

That's unfortunate.

It's way worse than Arkham. It has a QTE/rhythm game style dodge where you basically just click the left thumbstick to be ready to dodge, and you can immediately follow it up with an attack.

Against another enemy - as it seems to be made for - it's boring and not challenging. But against multiple enemies, it completely falls apart, and is nearly impossible on higher difficulties. And what's worse is the melee is the focus, not guns.

The game doesn't seem to have answers on how to deal with multiple enemies at once.

Wait...isn't it a horror game?
Why would it have Arkham style combat?

It's really not that bad if you're not a scrub.

Baton heavy swing makes the game pretty easy though, even on max difficulty.

Watching my friend play, it doesn't seem like running from combat is a thing. So I guess you can't classify it as survival horror?
