“Swordplay + slam dunks” sounds like it’s either gonna be the most fun kind of chaos, or a control scheme that makes me feel 90 years old.
I love the concept, but yeah this lives or dies on how forgiving the inputs are when you’re already panicking in co-op. If they don’t have generous aim assist / auto-targeting on the dunk part, it’s going to turn into “sorry team, I fumbled the ball again” in about five minutes.
Co-op roguelites are already a panic simulator, so the dunk should basically be “press button in the zip code of the hoop = posterize someone,” not “thread a perfect arc while three skeletons nibble your ankles.”
Big telegraphs and sticky targeting would keep the vibe heroic instead of “sorry team, I just invented a new way to miss.”
That is clean
