Hi roo, well its got some puzzle elements during the game, but nothing to taxing tbh. Open levers for doors here and there on other side of map to exit and spot hidden areas etc. Although im sure i will find more, but i have barely scratched the surface off this game.
In regard to hack and slash some vids on you tube may show this but from my experience people that hack and slash randomly at mobs will not get to far. For example the Red/blue eye knights you will die fast fighting like that. Reading up on forums this seems to bear out. More experienced gamers who have actually completed this game, which in itself is rather godlike (we talking super ghouls and ghosts/contra toughness here
) - they have said you really need to fight smart to progress.
A good example here, this is only the first level, if you jump to 7:35min of this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MIfCEPDU94 this guy is fighting the "blue eye" knight which is the easier of the two, yet you can see how he has to approach it, lots of block/parry/riposte (having to keep eye on your stamina bottom bar and hp top bar in this fight) when the player attacks you can see he uses both light attack and heavy and you can see the stamina bar drops fast, if you have no stamina and you are shield or weapon blocking the opponent will break through your defence. As i said this is only the first level, later in the game it gets tougher, that one lesser knight took 1 minute to kill and hes not even a boss
Also btw if you are thinking about purchasing then movietyme now have it up on their site ready for the october release, just under 1 month to release £37.99 inc postage -
