BASILISK

0/10. Not enough water.

The demo honestly was pretty neat. Despite some jank to do with struggling to get the exact feeling of when you could pop up a ledge or get a wallrun to stick everything worked pretty dang smooth. Despite the minimal feedback the guns honestly felt pretty decent which was a pleasant surprise! The dashing felt underwhelming with it feeling more like a quick-dodge than a platforming tool which feels more fitting of a circle strafe heavy arena style shooter than something which feels more in line with a mirror's edge style game from the demo area. Having a dash with a longer cool-down or higher cost that better stalls downwards momentum would be a more fitting platforming tool in my view but then again it loses that quick-dodge utility of the current dash. The shotgun, although powerful, had a highly punishing reload compared to the pistol or SMG which tended to be somewhat comparable for DPS making it less worth using at all ranges than another option even if simply because of the reload and pump time. Perhaps making it more consistently one shot within close range could give it use as something to quick swap to for getting enemies off you in close quarters? I didn't use the sword much simply due to the slow swing with a long delay and danger of using it against enemies which were most reliably dodged by keeping moving at a mid range where half the arsenal is more than effective. I imagine in levels laid out differently to the demo level different weapons would flourish more or less. Overall I think there is a lot that works here and with some tweaking and fleshing out it could be turned into a really fun shooter game!
