It looks cool. Female protagonist doesn't look hawt enough though

Reminds me of Strider. Definitely gonna check it out. Agree it could go either way though.

I need a good PC platformer (save having to dust of the mega-drive and hunt for carts on eBay), and admittedly, from the small amount of footage here it looks quite fun.

This reminds me that I should really try to find a good gamepad to use for 2D games. I have a 360 pad that I use, but the D-pad is lousy. The contacts keep moving out of alignment.
I bought the thing because console controllers are usually pretty sturdy. All the PC gamepads I used to own ended up breaking after a year.
