Hi @The_M0ss_Man !
Thank you so much for the compliment. I really appreciate your kind words.
In regards to the question, the quick answer is Yes. Experiencing from our recent game exhibition event, overall we have received 95% positive feedback and they really enjoy the game with a single weapon play. Lirai offers majority in action gameplay but a different kind of variation in game mode also included. This is to balance the capability of storytelling and avoid repetitive gameplay. Different kind of swords are also available to switch with different kind of stats each.
In Lirai’s game design, we emphasize in melee combat system but as the story progresses, that is when we introduced some new gameplay mechanics and weapons. The idea of using the same weapon throughout the game isn’t new, depending on the game’s direction- Souls like game I believe uses one class type through out the game.
To summarize, yes. We do have variations in gameplay mechanics as well as the weapons. However, it will not be available at the beginning of the game. It will be unlock as the story progresses.
Cheers!
