I love all the negative reviews; mostly because I originally tried this game, and found it soooooo difficult, and that's why people hated it.
Then I started HEMA, and part of my first course was European Broadsword and Shield, with the second half being Kenjutsu style.
Using the techniques I learned in kenjutsu made the game much easier, and far more enjoyable as strategy and technique was the true name of the game.
