That was…slightly cheeky of me. The Tomoe you play in parry-fulactionadventureBloodlessis not the same Tomoe that was conspicuously absent from undeniable influenceSekiro. Theymightbe based on thesame historical figure, but that’s simply Sek-ulation. However! You can make your mind up yourself for zero money, since Bloodless has afree demoon Steam. Trazzer below.

You also can slot in special items called crests. The first one I found was a sword hilt that made Tomoe drink her tea faster. Practical, if deeply troubling as a proponent of leisurely hot beverage breaks. After beating the clubmen, I also got a skill point. Now, a well-timed disarm gives me some stamina back, giving Tomoe more time to slurp tea. I’m a fan of these combat rhythms. It’s slower than both Sekiro andDisco Samurai, but also decently tricky and intense.
Here’s a complaint. It’s the same complaint I make whenever I see this exact nonsense, so it’d be silly to pick favourites. Developers. I beg you from the bottom of my schedule. If there are no enemies around, then running should not cost me stamina. I will not be elaborating. Just imagine you’re showing me a design doc that says “you lose stamina whenever you run, whether or not you’re in a position where running is a risk/reward proposition”. Now imagine I’m staring at it and just making a really loud fart noise. You’re explaining your reasons calmly but I just keep making the fart noise. I don’t want it. Please stop.
