About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want dark medieval fantasy with brutal action, heavy gore, and a fast-moving setup that teases bigger mysteries; Not for you if you need deep character focus or dislike graphic violence like in Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom.

Pros: intense sword fights; strong atmosphere; intriguing mystery setup | Cons: rushed character development; uneven CGI visuals; feels like an appetizer
