Unifinishable

The game was a fun enough implementation of rails shooter mechanics until I reached the train, I cannot bend low enough to dodge. As such I'm forced to give this 3 stars as I could not find a workaround.

Hello SorcerorDash!

Thank you so much for your review and for diving deep into the game! Are you finding the section on top of the train tricky? You need to dodge like a low squat to the left and right. Some obstacles will also require you to shoot them. Please give it another try, the final levels are worth it! :D

If you need more help, feel free to reach out to us at hello at ikimasho dot games or join our Discord community here: https://discord.gg/XD9w3GukAX. I’d be happy to create a video walkthrough for you!

Feels like modern Time Crisis!

Feels *great* once you get a feel for the flow of combat and movement. The soundtrack is *sick* and adds a ton of extra 'something' to the feel of blocking bullets, firing off a few shots in return, and then blocking and slicing your way through a line of sword fighters.

This game rocks.

--edit: reply to dev question about things that could be improved for a 5-star rating--

The flow of combat is already fun enough to keep replaying the game, but it could be improved by adding an on-screen indicator guiding them towards 'the action' whenever:

A) the player is facing away from an enemy about to fire a blockable 'red' bullet
or
B) the player isn't facing enemies, but enemies are alive in the area
or
C) the player isn't facing the 'go to next area' marker.

Maybe the indicator would be an small marker at the edge of the player's view pointing in the right direction.

At the moment, the flow of combat feels like it slows down when I have to stop and look all around to search for live enemies or an 'go forward' item to grapple onto, or a box to slash.

Another, but much smaller issue: I think parts where the player needs to use the sword to slash a box (or series of boxes) placed in the middle of their path in odd spots (like in the train station) feel slightly awkward and might be better as 'shoot to advance' targets -- maybe just floating semi-transparent 'shoot to move forward' arrows floating in the air might work -- as if the player were wearing AR glasses to help them navigate.

Hello JP.Saak,

Thank you so much for playing and for the Time Crisis comparison—it was a key inspiration for us, so hearing that from players like you means a lot! We’re thrilled that you’re enjoying the flow and our original soundtrack (which is available on all streaming platforms ).

Is there anything we can do to make this a 5-star experience for you? Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us!

edit - responding
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! It’s clear you understand game design well, and we appreciate your ideas.

We did test an on-screen indicator early on but found it intrusive, harming immersion. Instead, we designed shooters to stay “inactive” (firing harmless bullets) until they’re in your field of view, encouraging players to learn patterns as levels are short enough for trial and error.

The “Slash n Dash” rule—moving only with the sword—is fundamental, though we agree some obstacles can feel a bit awkward. We’re exploring ways to refine these moments.

Barely into the game but WOW

I loved Time Crisis growing up and this totally is pulling those feels back. I’m in love.

Hello BakerBud!

Thank you so much! Time Crisis was a huge inspiration for us and a standout from my childhood, so hearing that comparison from players like you truly means a lot.

Have fun! And see you on our Discord https://discord.gg/XD9w3GukAX
