I guess all of the videos I watched about this game showing twitch combat were wrong since that was the main reason I haven't played the game yet. If the combat is more like Risen then I wouldn't have a problem since that is usually about watching the enemy then about being fast and accurate like in the videos I watched for this game.
PS. I can't play highly action oriented (twitch) combat because I can't physically do it fast enough and accurate enough to not lose so I can't progress at all in those kinds of games.
SpoonFULL: Thank you for the information on making the game easier to play. I didn't read anything about that till now and if I get the time I'll probably try the game.
Well, I'd say it definitely requires some fast reflexes. DS is difficult because it a) requires "learning" your opponents moves, attacks and weaknesse before you have a chance to defeat them which usually requires several attempts, b) requires accurate timing of attacks once you learned a successful attack pattern c) has a checkpoint system, that is you have to win a large number of individual fights, pass all traps, etc. without dying before you can proceed with the next section d) you can only take a few hits, and you have a very limited supply of "health potions". e) level progress is slow, because you can easily loose your souls (~ XP but also doubles as currency) and f) is non-linear enough that it allows you to run into some very difficult opponents that you probably canot defeat without telling you that.
It's worth a try though, it is a great and unique experience, if you can get into it.
