Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. This one caught me off guard. It looks like a mess, and at first, it plays like a mess. Controlling each hand individually feels like trying to operate a marionette while drunk. But then it clicks. You realize it’s not about button mashing; it’s about momentum and finding the gap in the enemy’s armor.
The pixel art is charmingly gruesome, and the equipment system is actually quite deep. I spent more time than I’d like to admit trying to find the perfect combination of a kite shield and a morning star. It’s hard, it’s often unfair when the physics go haywire, and the difficulty spikes are real. But unlike most mobile trash, this has a soul. It rewards actual practice. It’s a 'bastard' of a game, but a good one.
