Well, you're entitled to your own opinion, my friend. IMHO, this game has nice graphics and looks like fun. Mind you, each of the two cultures featured in each game which you mentioned are unique, yet similar in some ways due to the historical contact between the two.
Parrying until your opponent tires him/herself, leaving an opening for you to strike at and thus defeat him/her is a time tested, often successful battle tactic, especially whenever facing a substantially larger, stronger but not smarter opponent. Not everyone is going to be as fierce as Conan the Barbarian with direct attacks (Somewhat unrelated to my point but even Conan had to use indirect battle tactics when facing against overwhelming odds (Pay attention to the scene after when the big brute with the giant hammer gets dispatched and Conan suddenly has to face and defeat the second in command of Tulsa Doom).
Anyway, at the very least, you can think of this game as something to tide people over until Black Myth: Wukong finally gets cracked and released!
"Parrying until your opponent tires him/herself, leaving an opening for you to strike at and thus defeat him/her is a time tested, often successful battle tactic," Yeah except in this case, the entire combat system is lifted directly from Sekiro. It isn't an iteration on the system, it's the exact same, and I say this as a Sekiro veteran. Plus there are a lot of things that make this game feel cheap such as, for example, the dated UI, the oftentimes incompetent enemy AI, lacking SFX, no facial expressions in cutscenes, among other things. It's a cheap Sekiro set in China instead of Japan and if that's your thing then by all means go for it. Me, I'd rather play actual Sekiro
Before you come in here with the sarcasm, watch some footage and you'll see the fighting mechanics are EXACTLY the same as Sekiro's. They aren't similar, they are EXACTLY the same. Even the people praising this game on Steam say it's a cheap Sekiro
