• Combat is very much a learn the enemy pattern and attack with dodges, and parries.
• At the beginning of the game, you have to choose your starting weapon from three options – dual swords, great sword, and long sword.
• Every weapon in the game has ratings for strength, technique, and spirit. They will also have a unique skill (special attack) and have clear stat requirements.
• Loadout is – two weapons, headwear, armor, an accessory, and a spell with six item slots for quick use.
• The notepad will keep your map and any tutorials you have seen.
• Sync rate is a mechanic in which as you deal damage, you build your sync rate that in turn makes attacks stronger, and you can block more damage with shields, but getting hit will lower it and cause weaker attacks amd allow more damage through shields until zero, in which the shield breaks.
• Shields in the game are awesome as they do what you expect, but they also charge up from blocked shots that then let you do a charged attack at an enemy that will usually stun them.
• Bladers are what your character and others like you are called, You will come across evil Bladers throughout the world.

• The world is a devastated ruin of a world, but it is so full of intrigue and danger that it just grabs your attention from the start.
• Weapons can be picked up quite readily, and at any time, you can swap between them and enhance them.
• Resources and materials are everywhere and can randomly drop from enemies. The cool part is that they are crystal-like like and your character kicks them to pick them up. It’s the small things.

• There is no stamina system to worry about.
• Nuclei can be dropped from powerful enemies and directly equipped, they can adjust how many crystals you get from enemies, sync boost rate, or how many crystals you lose upon death.
• Trade rare nuclei if you prefer at merchants.
• Today I found out it’s not nucleuses and is in fact Nuclei. And now you have.
• Honestly, it’s worth noting how innovative the sync rate system is, it changes how you play these games.
• When entering a new location, you get this awe-inspiring flyover of the land, and it sets the scene perfectly.
• The map uncovers as you play, and landmarks, points of interest, and even what you have discovered only stay filled in once you visit a branch.
• Many enemy types, and they all act uniquely and look incredible.

AI Limit Review Cons:

• The combat takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s more the skill usage and parrying.
• The boss fight early on is a huge jump in difficulty.
• Had enemies just get stuck in an animation or not move at all.
• Enemies have cheap shots, and it’s noticeable more in boss fights.
• At times, the speed at which you can raise your shield is a lot slower than you would expect, but also slower than what the rest of the game runs at.
• Nearly every dodge will result in losing health, and it’s very frustrating.
• The game never really mentions how you lose crystals upon death, nor is there a way to get them back.
• Having to buy items from specific places makes it a huge pain when you are far away.
• Branches are far apart.
• Until you learn and pay attention to the sync rate stuff, you will have a horrid time.
• Boss fights are just cheap; everyone has cheap shots, and it’s very frustrating.
• The sync system is good, but it takes a bit of getting the head around it, as blocking is not natural, you lose track of your sync meter going down each time.
• The game gets stuck in an infinite loop a couple of times.
• What I really hate is how, in boss fights specifically, the lock-on goes when you get hot a particular way, and this will always catch me off guard.
• Invisible enemies, but their guns showing was an interesting glitch.
• As you progress into other locations, the performance really tanks with screen tearing and slowdown a big issue.
