EDIT: It got better

Just go play the demo instead. Got over 30 hours into the demo. Had so much fun. Was genuinely excited for this to release... Could barely play 2 hours of this game. Not only is the optimization truly horrible, but they butchered the really amazing physics system that was in place. Now your character moves all goofy, swings are floaty, weapons will spaz around like crazy after you swing, being lightly tapped means losing an arm or a leg, and people die from tripping on their own two feet. Just so stupid and the gameplay feels so much worse. Incredibly disappointing.

And honestly, don't even get me started on how bad the new gameplay "features" are. The round system feels ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible. What do you mean I have to play 6 rounds in a row without a loss to earn 8 gold?? And I risk dying permanently for that much?? So stupid, so bad. Same with the new "freeplay" mode. Honestly just give us the demo systems back, please.

Would highly recommend just downloading the free demo and playing that instead until this mess of a release gets fixed.
