Ninja Gaiden Sigma meets Devil May Cry with a dash of religion. a Visually jaw-dropping convoluted mess. Don't be fooled

Classic example of how a demo can fool you into thinking the game has more to offer. The visuals had me sold, and it left me thinking it was just the tip of the iceberg.

In reality, how wrong I was. The game mechanics in the demo are the whole package. There's nothing in the full game that you haven't experienced in the demo gameplay-wise. It's a standard hack and slash mixed with corridor exploration akin of Devil May Cry.

Unless games like Ninja Gaiden Sigma or Devil May Cry are your run-of-the-mill, pass on this. If you look past the visuals this is as generic as it gets for the genre.
