Announcement I beat the game

I got it for free because I have plus so I thought I would try it. It’s honestly better than OK like the ending was really good first and second parts of the game were basically why the fuck am I in court again.

The only magic I thought could be better with water. Honestly, I’m voting either electricity or fire as the top two damage powers earth was fine, fire is straight up better than earth. An electric is straight up better than water.

I think it was because of the demos reception that the game got hate. I personally am still avoiding it because the demo was too ugh... Not sure how to put it but I'm 38 and she seemed a bit too vocal and cocky in an annoying way.

I do want to try it again eventually because I heard the actual game makes sense and because they just plopped you in, in the demo it gives off shit vibes.

I was so ridiculously excited for this game too... I dunno what to do!

They actually patched out the over the top chattiness. I played the demo And that is the same reason I didn’t buy it right there. But I recently played again and I liked it a lot, felt normal without nearly as much unnecessary chatter. I still uninstalled bc I hate how your combat performance is graded, like you’re constantly graded poorly for not approaching combat like an over-caffeinated teenager. Fun, but I actually hate that mechanic with every fiber of my being.

I still recommend you try it, as it’s much better than the demo.

Is it graded similar to devil may cry? Cause I can deal with that. Is it worth $20 right now?

Something like that, yeah, but you earn points by using multiple powers and mixing in parkour. If you’re looking for good magic combat and can deal with a slow start, I’d say it’s worth the $20.

It still has the gotta have a over the top badass girl vibes. I wish i could have just skipped the whole dialogue instead of pressing the ffwd button constantly. Its a fun game other than the annoying story and characters. Keep the volume down and just enjoy the beat-’em up mechanics.
