It always looked like that to me.
Stamina bar, hard challenge, slow, methodical combat\no mashy etc.

Yeah doesn't seem all that deep to me. Blade of Darkness has long spoiled me. The artificial challenge with the stamina bar and slow rigid guerilla combat doesn't seem too appealing. I foresee a lot of back and forth in most combat encounters. The art direction and the animation in motion is superb though.
Dark Fantasy games are my jam though so it's a buy for me.

I like action rpg, isometric view and slow, meaty combat so the game does a lot of things right.

What time is it?
Me too and it's part of the reason why I'm cautious. I just don't trust most developers to get action combat right and especially not Souls-like combat correctly. I'm also stuck in my ways that I expect isometric games to be in certain genres (ARPG, Strategy, etc.) so I was hoping this was going to be more like Diablo. Lastly, visuals aside, I was never head of heels in love with the Ori games like most people.

Based on the Steam reviews I'll let this one cook for a while.

Played a little over an hour.
Looks great, obviously.
Combat feels really good. Yes it’s a little chunkier but it’s more arcadey, you can brute force it or circle strafe and parry. The intro sequence on a burning ship is such a crazy set piece though I found it a little hard to read parry timing because of everything going on. Once you’re past that it’s much easier, at least for me. I can’t parry for shit and I’m successful most every time, Sekiro it is not so don’t worry if that’s a concern.
It also has a hard dash mechanic to where in combat it felt more Hades than it does Diablo, dashing all over.
So far, loving it.

Did no one update the crew?
It’s fucking amazing. And I was beyond skeptical and thought this would be highway robbery early access.
Worth every red cent.

I was shocked at how much i like the feel of the controls and the combat. Its heavy, yet responsive and the combat is so fucking satisfying

I have a question if someone who has experience with the Unity Engine, of which this game is using. As it is now the game suffers from some really rough performance issues to include player falling through the map at times and/or clipping through areas like doors, walls. It does happen quite frequently, not all the time though. Keep in mind this is with the game being installed on an SSD. Specifically, it'll start after exiting buildings, vendors, house(s) or after Alt/Tabbing (going from desktop back into the game). The games performance steadily declines the longer you play it. My question is, Is this occurance considered bad coding due to collision? A memory leak? The Unity Engine being overworked and not able to keep up? What is the proper terminology?
