Played the demo. I like shiftup's gacha shit, it's usually generous and has some great live 2d art and ui design, music etc. And it's unabashedly horny. Unfortunately not perfect due to some of the designs they choose to include. Anyway. This is about the demo for stellar blade. I was nervous based on the controversy and praises being sung by chuds about the game altogether, but having liked their mobile games wanted to give it the college try. The gameplay felt stiff, unrefined and under-featured for a char action game and the set pieces felt constrained and basic. The bit of dialogue and story I saw was nonsensical, and not in a fun way. Too few interesting details given to compel me, generic sci-fi fluff with no meat. The character had a big ass though, at least that part did indeed happen. Not gonna pay 70 bucks or whatever for it though. And in fairness maybe it gets better, but the terrible dialogue makes it not worth checking out any further, so unless I hear some insane things about later game, RIP stellar blade. Good try, ShUp.

My favorite thing in the demo is there were some cool signs as part of the set, graphic ui and logo design is definitely the team's strongest strength, it just was featured here on top of some boring geometry and architecture that felt very mass produced vs bespoke for the game.
