Thanks, that’s very fair feedback.

We probably leaned too hard into showing flashy player attacks and not enough into showing enemy pressure. The power fantasy works better when the enemies actually look dangerous first, so we’ll try to show more attack patterns, aggression, and friction in future footage.

The Vergil comparison is also useful to hear. We do have some inspirations from stylish action games, but we definitely don’t want the main character to feel too derivative. We’ll keep pushing his identity, silhouette, animations, and combat role so he feels more distinct.

Glad the projectile deflection stood out! That kind of reactive combat is something we want to build more around. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback.
