I was gifted a copy of this game but I happily would have paid full price for it. The backdrop is really interesting, if you like dystopian settings, and the story and characters are engaging. Also, I'm going to come out and say it, it's wonderful to have a really good female protagonist, where the gender of the player character *isn't* a specific plot point.

The combat can be frustrating at first, but after a while it just sort of clicks and you find yourself chaining devastating blows together while gracefully dodging enemy attacks in a way that would make River Tam proud. The fact you can customise your combos is another nice touch. I personally went for a quick 3-hit pure damage one, then a 5-hit combo that did hundreds of damage thanks to the multipliers you can use, then the two longer ones were for regen. I found you end up using your enemies to your advantage more than just hammering them into submission.

Great game.
