In case you have a hard time waiting for the next entry in the Zelda franchise, Rising Star Games might have something for you to make the wait a bit sweeter. The company published a trailer of a game called Decay of Logos that has been in development for some time by Portuguese development studio Amplify Creations. It is described as an action/adventure third-person RPG influenced by European folklore and by J. R. R. Tolkien’s high fantasy. You play a girl that is accompanied by a mystical Elk as her companion, seeking revenge against a King's son who destroyed her village, unveiling secrets during the process and realizing things are not as they seem. The game takes chunks of Zelda and Dark Souls as inspiration and focuses on exploration, combat and resource management. Link would be proud.

The game is set to launch at some point this fall for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Well... Doesn't look very pretty, if I'm being honest, but maybe it will have some depth...

 

[LightyKD]

Since it's "coming for" the Nintendo Switch, what will it do when it captures the Switch? Lol.

Just wondering, why the high enfacis on the switch in the thread's title if it is coming to all platforms?

Nintendo-centric forum, vaguely Zelda-like title

Never heard of the dev but they appear to mostly be an asset seller before now so that is not so surprising.
The pub though have got some good stuff under their belt, mostly the European stuff for some of the more interesting and niche Japanese games (they have done Rune Factory, Deadly Premonition, bunch of Japanese shmups and a lot more besides) but as such things would often have skipped it before I am not going to knock them.

Some of the shots there looked a bit... empty but I can certainly live with that.

Consider me curious.

So is "Zelda-like" the new generic "Open World" description every other indie dev is gonna use now to try and boost hype in their bad game?

Combat looks ok, but everything else looked kinda meh IMO. I'll probably grab the PC version and try it out though.

same, I think I'll "get" it on pc, if you know what I mean

That's kind of what I was thinking. It looks like they tried to copy the BotW style a little bit, but they made everything angular and removed everything that made BotW charming. This looks about as empty as everyone THOUGHT BotW was going to be initially

 

[Nisem0n0]

Character models look kinda stiff, definitely not as fluid as Zelda. I generally like cell-shaded art in games, but only when its done well. This looks kinda meh

 

[The Real Jdbye]

The graphics look a lot worse than BotW. But it could still be a fun game.
I'll wait for some proper gameplay before deciding if this is a game I want to buy or not.

I WISH weapons here won't break that easily!

Well to be honest if you can call this a Zelda type game then you can start calling every open world hack and slash adventure game a Zelda game. Don't get why everybody always feels the need to compare it to Zelda. Plus you're saying it takes inspiration from Zelda ? I don't see the dev saying that anywhere ?

actually, IMO, breath of the wild isn't a zelda game
lack of real dungeon, and lack of this puzzle-solving made it a non-zelda game, IMO

Which is weird because Zelda wasn't even the one that started the trend..
