Technically it is fragile — it shipped buggy and remains so, with crashes common enough on modern systems that most players install community patches first.

Movement-first shooting where healing comes from standing close to what you are killing, so the loop pushes you into danger constantly. Style ranking rewards variety over efficiency. Its ceiling is very high and very demanding — the systems assume you will learn cancels and parries, and it is still in early access with the final chapters unfinished.
