The game looks like it can be potentially fun, but I don't have the feeling you are "expressing" that in your trailer. The trailer feels a bit like one player against himself showing off what you are able to do instead of a real battle.

Nevertheless, good luck with your development, I can see some fun potential in it

Rid, thanks for the feedback! You're right, it's sort of a scripted battle going on, it was just easier to record that way. I'm hoping the next trailer will better express the mayhem that this game builds.

Thanks again for the feedback, any bit helps!
