Fluid, rewarding combat system
Engaging boss battles and combos
RPG mechanics feel underdeveloped
Stellar Blade is a fast-paced action RPG that critics have praised for its intense melee combat and stylish visuals. The game offers fluid, engaging combat mechanics reminiscent of titles like Bayonetta and Sekiro, with some critics noting its challenging difficulty spikes. However, the story and characters are less compelling, and specific RPG mechanics feel underdeveloped. While the game's sexualization of its protagonist has been divisive, the action and art direction stand out as strengths in this otherwise solid entry in the genre.
