A demo playthrough of Denari, an upcoming action game where a kid is the chosen one to fight an empire that rudely arrives to kill everyone.
There's some fun gameplay with catching projectiles to throw back along with parrying, plus you heal with a finisher on weakened mobs. Up until the final part it did feel overly easy despite being rubbish parrying since there's enough weak mobs to consistently heal off of. The final boss of the demo does hit hard but with the horde of enemies you can survive without too much trouble (and that's without using the assist). Even so this one looks like it could be pretty fun when it releases.
