Ok. got it.. :mrgreen:

^^the combos are super smooth like butter :-D

Finally completed this game.
Excellent game to play in hack&slash genre
Graphics is excellent and looks good in PC (except minor bugs in game play).
Dagor Engine is really good.The Cut-scenes are splendid to watch and Ayumi really looks gorgeous (specially when walking)
and there are two gorgeous ladies to play with (Ayumi & Michelle)
Stage detailing is good (landscape views,snow-fall,water effects etc all looks cool)
even the swords are detailed nice.
Sound is average (not to good to boast) and I had some bug with sound in Menu (must have been fixed in new patch)
Story: N/A (if u can manage with that)
Gameplay: well this is where it excels more.its very fast-paced game so u will have to hold your breath while doing combos & slashing...and trust when u start using the extra strong spell attacks u wont see where are the enemies & the player in screen bcoz the screen will go KABOOM!!!!
and Time Rewind(reminds us of Prince of Persia) is the best used in this game (seriously,haven't seen any other game which uses the time rewind feature like the way Ayumi uses not even the prince in POP) and which helps a lot while solving puzzles and during Boss Fights (there are many Boss-Fights)
Enemies are also of different varieties and some enemies need some special technique to kill.
its has large variety of double swords & guns (makes it TPS) and magics spells.and I forgot to mention that Ayumi does a double-jump much higher than Dante :mrgreen:

and there are Execution Moves (like God of War)
The game is short (only 10 levels) so u can complete it in 2days..
There is a NPC named as Zero (and I really liked his Huge Sword..similar to DarkSiders or Cloud in FF)

also Completed the DLC (Dismal Swamp) in which Michelle is main character to play with...short level DLC but worth to play
don't expect any magic from here

Overall rating: 7.5/10

if u r a Hack&Slash Fan than this one is not be missed :wink:

There is also a Rocket Launcher

can you post more impression . How good is the combat ?

Combat is fast paced and great IMO. Using dual swords and rifle together is fun as always but story is not that great . let me play little further and will let you know impression . but combat is really good

I am playing with x360 controller .

I played past that boss, and left the game. Time to continue

I liked the Time Rewind (just like POP) but has and enhance version to solve puzzles
