The demo combat was underwhelming, especially coming out of Skyward Sword and The Witcher 2, until I started intertwining skills along with the basic attack. Then it clicked. Sort of like a more cRPG Diablo. It's not really profound and it's a little clunky, but it's really fun. Definitely not as button mashy as I originally pegged it. Very good groundwork for future titles.
Your character seems a bit overpowered against each individual enemy and the enemy groups don't really gank you. I don't remember if they "took turns" to attack, but it never felt like any individual enemy posed more of a threat than the whole, or I was never going out of my way to draw or eliminate a specific enemy first. I kind of expected the enemies to coordinate attacks, or at the very least spam shit. Group composition didn't seem to complex or complementary. I assume the groups get more advanced, but I'm disappointed the demo didn't include anything of the sort.
Are there any pre-order discount deals going on?
About five or six months for me. Long wait. (Like you name, man.)
