Always liked the idea of stuff like Divekick where it’s basically a 1-hit kill fighting game, but never quite clicked with it. But this one is just perfect. That deliberate pace, the simple but juuust interesting enough combat, the cool setting... As bare-bones as this game is, I love it.

Also, first-person mode? Are you serious? This needs a full VR-supported remake immediately.
