As my native language isnt English, I do apologize for possible (I am actually quite sure there are a lot) mistakes.

First of all, my PC isnt the most advanced anymore. I am using an Nvidia GTX 780 3x OC Windforce with 3GB memory, 16 GB Ram and an i7 "Ivy Bridge" CPU. STILL, this game runs perfectly fine on extreme settings.

Secondly, about the combat system. I think it works pretty well if a conqueror plays against another knight or viking.. However, i havent been able to fight against an Orochi and survie due to his speed. Maybe this is intended? Possible. At least in my opinion the balancing system should be reworked.
Besides that, I like the combat system. 1v1 is fun and if youre fast enough and react according to the actions of your opponent, you might have a chance to win!

Last but not least, the movement. Maybe its just me, but personally, i hate the slow movement speed. Running works fine and if youre not in combat or surrounded by other players it is usefull as well! HOWEVER, if youre fighting with someone or against several players... To me, it seems impossible to get away or hunt someone down as it just takes too long to start sprinting again.. The dodging works somehow... though i have to add that it doesnt feel smooth yet. I am used to Dark Souls, therefore i am used to dodging. Unfortunately, in this case, it feels as if youre lifting a boulder from one place to another and you cant get away from the attack fast enough.

Taking into consideration that this is a Closed Alpha, i am very well aware that most topics are still subject to change. Though i gotta point out that I WILL BUY THIS GAME. It provides an interessting combat system so far and when all (or at least most) of the mechanics work smoothly and without bugs, this will be a fun game to enjoy with your friends.
