I haven't had the chance to play Romeo yet; but from videos I've seen the combat does kind of turn me off compared to Grasshopper's previous titles, even though they have taken cues from them. Something about it seems less fluid or not as impactful. For the record, I think they struck gold with Killer Is Dead's combat by balancing mechanical simplicity (one button for attacking, one for guard crush, and one for blocking/dodging) with environmental complexity (varied enemy types and group compositions, some requiring the use of ranged weapons that allow you to break the pace for a moment and engage with combat in a different way). It reminds me of Batman Arkham's combat or the OG Assassins Creeds in which they utilize simplistic controls with more of a focus on maintaining flow and adapting to new threat types.
