      My word, I remember playing this when I was a teenager (and I’m in my mid-30s now).

      I remember doing all those trick movements, the slash and dash, wall climbs, weapon switching for quick dash etc.
      Then several months into playing, I found out people were using macros for those instead of… Pressing all the keys manually…
      My hands hurt so much until that discovery.

        Very small minority use macros. You can watch videos of people playing and watch their keystrokes on both physical keyboard and virtual. I recommend kujo on YouTube.

        But yeah, very nice memories indeed. Apparently, it’s making a comeback on Steam.
