Best God of War clone hands down. Cool looking finishers, nice variety on combos and mechanics, enemy and visual variety is grotesque and beautiful in their own way, magic is great and adds tons of variety to the gameplay as well.
It’s an absolute gem of a game, is visually superior to most Xbox 360/PS3 games at the time while running at a rock solid 60fps, and blends some interesting painted art style to it’s story cutscenes.
Honestly, if you want an action game oozing in personality with simple but engaging gameplay, you’re looking at a God of War clone that will truly stand the test of time in all of those areas. Art direction, sound design, combat design and voice acting all come together in a game that you LITERALLY will never see again in this day and age.
If there was ever a definition of perfection in gaming, i believe this is it. Beautiful on a visual level, brilliant on a technical level, and caps it off with an expansion on the straightforward game design principles of arcadey character action games popularized by God of War.
I promise you’ll close this game engrossed, impressed, and wanting more of it.
So fucking scummy. Just go to Epic if you want a better cut, damn bro.
