Shitty Grammar 【ᴾʳᵉᵐᶦᵘᵐ ᵁˢᵉʳ】
I've played it for about two hours now (planning to play more and make a first impressions video for my channel) and I must say, this is a very polished old-school beat-em-up. It controls excellently satisfying, it has all the old-school vibes to it (actually challenging even on normal mode, item pickups, bosses flashing red, multiple characters, a big list of available moves, co-op etc), and it has a unique setting.
Ah yes, the setting! The game is inspired by the Roman conquest of Britain. You play as a member of one of the northern tribes, you command your comrades into battle, you can even use the help of dire wolves (remember, it's inspired but obviously not historically accurate). You can eat meat and mushrooms, use your enemies' heads as weapons and cut everyone in half with a huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sword. And you get some nice background about Britain culture (for example, about stone circles which inspired the creators) in the form of short narrated videos between the levels (completely optional if you mind that kind of stuff). There's a short intense story too, told through comic-style cutscenes.
Ths music is very much epic, giving the game the right mood. The voices, oh god, the voices of men and women being slaughtered are a perfect addition to the OST! It's almost like listening to an epic battles in movies.
There's huge potential to work towards high scores, it really is an arcade game through and through.
My only gripe for now is sometimes enemies / items can hide behind some background layers making them practically invisible. The standard control scheme is pretty wonky, but you can remap pretty much everything.
Overall, reccomended
