A few weeks ago I added these special attacks when you initiate what I now call "Radical Mode" in Virtue's Heaven. During playtesting over the last few weeks I realised however, that as cool as this one attack is, it might be cooler to have more of them. So now, as long as your energy meter has charge, you can keep doing these attacks, but each one depletes a huge chunk of your meter. And running out of meter will cancel radical mode, which will cost you whatever benefits it gave you.
The kinds of attacks you do, depend on which conviction your have equipped and the sequence in which they appear corresponds with the sequence you have them equipped (the first slot corresponds with your first attack, and so on). Also the damage each attack does, increases the later in that chain it is. Right now, it's horribly unbalanced, but that's okay.
Anyways, have you put Virtue's Heaven on your Steam wishlist? I heard it's the cool thing to do right now.
