Wtf?! 2D dark souls? Dark Souls temple RUN??

Deathscreton · Feb 20, 2018

Looks decent. Reminds me of a less gloomy Salt & Sanctuary, which, if Imight add,would be an excellent addition to my growing Switch Library.

Why do these games look so cheap ???

MeowMeowMeow · Feb 20, 2018

nice Android game.

Xzi · Feb 20, 2018

Animations are a bit stiff but it looks fun. Hopefully they don't overprice it.

Viri · Feb 20, 2018

Animations look a bit iffy, but looks like fun! It kinda reminds me of Castlevania a bit. I was expecting it to be more dark and gloomy.

I know right it's always the same with 3D models in a 2D game.

I think it's 15$.

looks like a modern castlevania classic game if it had a phisical release then i would get it, digital only i will pass.

Maximilious · Feb 20, 2018

meh. Lively music on top of an otherwise dull looking platformer. I'll add it to the pile of "trying to be niche" indie games on my wishlist waiting to go on sale in the eShop.

That's too bad, looks more like a $5 or $10 game to me. Length can increase its value of course, but I don't think a game like this can compete with stuff like Celeste and Dandara, 3D or no.

ov3rkill · Feb 21, 2018

Please let it be a $5 game.

This is exactly what I wanted to say. The animations look stiff and the combat seems incredibly stop and go from the trailer. The player in the entire trailer seemed to have no fluidity, making the character look stilted. It almost gave me the impression that there was an enforced animation delay. When things like Dark Souls do delays, they make the animation long and heavy, allowing for a continuous seeming attack combo, giving far more fluidity to the movement, and making it more "realistic", or perhaps less stuttery. That's the first thing I noticed.

It might also just be me, but the art direction and coherency seems to be a bit lacking. Might be the 3d models, might be the way they are shaded, but something seems incredibly off.

Second look: some of the artwork is definitely uncoordinated. First point of notice: the UI is flat, but the game is 3d. Another one: The doors of the first castle contain extremely little grit to them, making it extremely obvious that they are flat planes rather than an actual wooden door. Third point: The entire damn snow area, holy hell did that first cottage look out of place, while the snow and white spraywork make the flats of the polygons even more pronounced. Final point: That, what I'm assuming, Unreal 4 glare filter; rock doesn't shine like that, it looks unnatural as all hell.

no offense to the people that made this, but this has all the hallmarks of a crappy steam game trailer. 3d models stiffly animated on a 2d plane (*1), seemingly made in unity, disjointed gameplay that doesnt seem to know what it wants to feature (*2), fast paced editing with rapid cuts never staying on one scene for too long (*3), models, effects and set pieces that appear to be of different quality or do not fit together (*4) ETC.

the walking animation at 0:48 legitimately looks like how people use to animate characters in happy wheels
Is it trying to be a tough action game or a platformer? The editing in the beginning is clearly emphasizing combat and difficulty with the cuts showing the avatar fighting enemies and dying several times, while they use the slogan "Break their bones or become cobblestones" , only to spend the rest showing off action setpieces and platforming.
Bad steam games often utilize this fast editing technique to hide buggyness or bad animations.
The models are very very odd and disjointed. The main avatar is quite nicely modeled, but things like background elements and enemies do not match his art style. The other models also do not match the same level of quality either. For example, what the heck is up with the bird at 0:57? Its texture is awful, the model stretches badly in the animation and parts of it are awfully angular. The hud is done in a 2d style with clashes with the 3d behind it too.

very nice

Gameplay trailer released today:

I think collision detection needs some work, and the physics in general.

Sonic Angel Knight · Feb 28, 2018

Looks fun, but it gives me that ghost n goblins feel, not sure I want to have broken armor all over the place, then see underwear man. Not ready for that super challenging gameplay again .
