big thanks to the Dev-chan for finally giving us the weapons to fight off the stinkis that frequent these types of shops.

Why is everyone not playing Battleborne instead?

This game is definitely for any hack n slash fans of Devil may Cry, Bayonetta and Metal gear rising: Revengeance. It offers a simple control scheme, but once you invest some points into the skills in the upgrade menu, you'll find that the game has some in-depth mechanics that are well implemented. Like all hack n slash games, you control one character, in this case Misa, against hordes of enemies in a small arena with no obstacles and no obstructions in the way. That's quite perfect for this kind of game, as you wanna make sure you have full awareness of all enemies around you and combo them to your heart's content. Like every game in existence, there are pros and cons to this game:

Pros:
- Great control scheme that feels good, nothing convoluted
- A ''Zandatsu" feature well implemented that can tip the battle to your favor
- Plenty of action to be held in this game!
- Uh, hot chicks with swords
- Nice visuals and fluid swordsplay
- Good variety of skills that flow well into one another

Cons;
- very limited enemy archetypes, offers very little imagination
- Very short game, but then again it's to be expected when it's only about 300mbs
- The timing on the ''Flourish'' and '' Counter'' moves feel very awkward
- No camera lock-on feature?
- Roll hurtbox is funky
- Next to no unlockable content to unlock, other than costumes I believe

Personal input:
Since I play just about every hack n slash I can think of, this game is a defnite buy for any fan of the genre. It's hack n slash to its purest, with quite possibly the shortest story i've seen in a long time. It does have its faults, with no lock-on feature which to me is quite crucial in a hack n slash, but it doesn't hinder the pure adrenaline rush this game provides. As it stands with its current price, I'd say wait till a 50% sale comes up for it, but if you do buy it as is, then know you're getting your money's worth in the action, not so much for the story nor content.
