Its funny how they were unable to get the license for Golden Axe, as it would have been a perfect partnership to revive the franchise. Its good to see we get a new IP though and for @dotemu.bsky.social to be creating something original.

I played as Galandra in the demo, and looking forward to trying out Cider when I get into the full game.

Spent a lot of time trying to remember the different tag moves in the heat of battle, but got through to the end of demo boss fight against Taskmaster which was really good. Looking forward to jumping back in and using the tag moves a bit more effectively and experimentign with different team ups.

I wasn't familiar with Cosmic Ghost Rider, but I do love that this game is taking some deeper cuts from the cosmic side of Marvel as is the game's namesake. I wouldn't have been mad if they went all in on the cosmic side with their playable character selection.
