Mediocre at best
This game is bland, flavorless, and not very fun to play. It feels like so many other games I've played before.
A combo system is nothing new, neither is the ability to upgrade said combos. It's been done, and in much better ways before. The fighting was also pretty glitchy, if you were fighting an enemy on a slanted surface of any kind, neither of you would be able to land an attack. Honestly this game feels like a rehash of the old Metal Slug games, but with more punching, and combo's.
The story, and the way it's carried out, is was horrible. The story was a cliche and the dialog was bland and badly written. The plot felt like it was put there as an afterthought. Also, cut-scenes and dialog aren't the only ways to convey a story. Art, game mechanics, music, those are all ways that a story can be told, ways that emotions or thoughts can be conveyed.
This game couldn't keep my interest, I honestly did not enjoy playing it.
This game could've be good. This game could've be GREAT, I know it could've.
You just need to flesh it out some more. Don't make it a chore to watch the cut-scenes and add narrative through more than just bad dialog. Don't make the game a repeat of others, try something new. It's obvious that you have the ability to do so, you just need some practice, and some new ideas,
P.S. Sorry if my review was a little harsh, It isn't supposed to come off that way.
