Suda51 says he's not a fan of parries in action games, and his new game Romeo is a Dead Man won't have them

“Personally, I don’t really like group battles in action games.I also decided, okay, this game won't have a parry mechanic.I would have preferred dodging mechanics and such...

When you parry, you need to wait a second.You need to wait for the right moment to press the button.I can't wait for it, I just push the button and end up ruining everything.

So around the time of No More Heroes 3's release, I decided to keep group combat to a minimum, if not get rid of it entirely.Therefore, this game has a lot of high-speed, dynamic and cool action without parrying.Again, no group fights." #game
