Do KB&M controls work pretty good for this game? Many say 2D games don't work well with KB&M but I've played games like Spelunky and Shovel Knight just fine with them so I'm wondering if it's the same for this game.
I got used to the KB+M controls very quickly and am having pretty much no issues with moving around and doing stunts.
I've been playing this one for a few days now and it's pretty amazing, although I haven't really played a lot of stuff like this so maybe I'm not as fatigued by the genre as much.
You can pretty much cancel any move into any other move, so attacking, dashing, blocking and jumping all snap into one another very quickly, so they've really nailed the basic mechanics incredibly well. It all feels very snappy, precise and quick.
The double jump kinda feels off sometimes because you can activate the second jump a bit too quickly if you're mashing the jump button, so you can get like a 10% distance from the first jump + a full second jump, and you don't even notice you did a double jump at all, but it's not that much of a problem.
I've only once managed to get to what seems to be the final boss of the current state of the game but died rather foolishly. It's got a lot more weapons and powers than I expected but I've been sticking more to the Twin Daggers and the Electric Whip when I can get them. The Electric Whip can be kinda OP, especially if you get two Damage Buffer skills, or even better, the 2x damage dealt and received weapon modifier which absolutely destroys everything in its path, but it also makes you pretty vulnerable to one or two hit kills. One thing the whip can really mess you up with are the locked golden doors which inflict a curse upon you if you destroy them (the whip automatically targets doors, so you can accidentally quickly destroy a golden door if you're powered up).
One thing I kinda realized late is that, naturally, the more weapons and skills you unlock, the less of a chance of getting the ones you want. I used to get the Electric Whip a lot at first (which, as I mentioned can be kinda OP), but since I've unlocked a lot of stuff by now, I rarely get the whip at all, which is a bummer.
Overall, I think this is a pretty damn great game, even in its early access state and I hope more people will notice it because it definitely deserves some praise.
Floaty and sluggish (can't think of a better word) fighting and - to me personally - completely unappealing graphics and design.
