Stellar Blade Demo Showcases Fast-Paced Combat and Haunting World Despite Rocky Platforming
- Combat feels like a mix of Devil May Cry and Dark Souls, allowing some button mashing but requiring awareness and positioning
- Exploration of an abandoned, destroyed city showcases haunting environments full of collectibles
- Platforming with jumping and dodging could use some improvement to make movement feel smoother
- First boss, Abaddon, is surprisingly easy to defeat even on normal difficulty
- Finishing the demo unlocks a tougher bonus boss that provides a taste of challenging encounters to come
