I finally got to try Khazan yesterday! I defeated the phantom blade boss and so far I'm enjoying the feel and rhythm of the combat a looot! really fresh take on the genre. I never personally played any CAG's (but I've been toying with the idea of of playing the devil may cry series for a good while, could this game sway me that way?). I'm only two bosses in, but I have already seen some of the fights and I know they are really intense, so hopefully I can keep up. the visual effects didn't bother me as much as I though they would initially, which is good, I'm reading the action without that much effort. I'm not getting much from the story or the world design yet, but the gameplay feels so good that if that doesn't change I wouldn't be super mad about it. I hope for al least some good enemy variety as the game progresses.
