Route C is split between two characters - A2 and 9S - switching back and forth at the end of each chapter.

While A2's playstyle shares many similarities with 2B's; they do have a few distinct differences that separate them. Firstly the self-destruct is replaced with 'berserk mode' which enhances A2's combat abilities in exchange for gradual HP loss while berserk mode is active. The other notable difference is that A2 (seemingly) lacks the fast charge attacks that required held inputs; instead holding down square initiates a taunt increasing the strength of both herself and her enemies. Otherwise, besides these key changes A2 and 2B function nearly identically with being able to wield two weapons and have the same combo strings.

Playing XC2 + Torna shortly beforehand without any break period was a mistake. I'm still feeling the burnout from those games, time will tell if I end up shelving this temporarily.

Despite that, I'll continue to soldier onward. The opening cinematics reek of polish and that additional Dev time really shines through. Not sure if the production quality will remain consistent throughout but nonetheless excited to see what's in store for the next entry.
