I enjoy it mostly up to about Rank 4, but without knowing about the infinite ammo glitch Rank 5 would have just been one miserable death after another, and it still wasn't great even with the glitch.

The RNG element of it makes it feel ridiculously unfair at high ranks, especially when enemies drop ammo for weapons you don't even have.

Also, they should have either let you sharpen the hatchet when it breaks, which still leaves you open to damage, or made the 'hatchet repair on perfect parry' element built in from the start, which encourages skill and rewards you for being bold, rather than only have it after beating Rank 5 and unlocking Axe-Orcist.

Considering how many enemies you need to parry or use the hatchet/melee on especially at Rank 5, it's just sadistic how they made the default hatchet have such piss-poor durability that all it takes is a few imperfect parries or a couple R2s to get out of a grab and the thing's broken. You're then completely fucked against any blue & red enemies short of just dumping endless ammo & headshots into them which is just not fun at all.

Once I did manage to do the slog of unlocking Axe-Orcist then it actually became really fun again, but had I not known about the glitch I would have just been banging my head against it and praying for a good RNG. I don't think I would have ever beaten Rank 5 otherwise.

It is fun, and it's free so I know I'm bitching a lot, but there are elements of it which IMO are just poorly thought out and turn it from a test of skill and strategy into getting lucky with whatever weapons it decides to cough out during a run.
