The combat of the game is widely praised and is said to be exciting and satisfying when players take down an enemy, with a heavy emphasis on parrying and dodging. A player said that the combat is like it’s from “NieR but soulslike.”
Fans Are Loving Stellar Blade
Players have said that how well the game relies on timing against enemies makes it much more exciting, and as they learn dodging and blocking, the fights are more thrilling than ever. Some have said that the challenge boss unlocked after beating the game convinces one to get the game if the gameplay doesn’t sell them in the demo.
However, some said that one-on-one combat is good, but players need to work harder when there are multiple enemies around. Fans have also praised the cinematics of the game, which is important to keep the players on the edge of their seats.
Combat is Very unique and Enticing. Enemy design is top notch. Offering variety at the start. And they just give me stranger things vibes lol #StellarBladeDemo pic.twitter.com/tNP2UYKHe8
