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.

Looks interesting. Will wait for the review before jumping the gun.

You would call Breath of the Wild charming? There were a few glimmers but compared to Wind Waker then not even close for me.

It put a smile on my face pretty frequently. Mostly the cutscenes, but there was quite a bit about the environment and worldbuilding that some of the side quests did that got me, too. Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild are charming in two very different ways

yea same, I'd like to know what is zelda like in the game

if it's because you need to find single-usage key in dungeon, and those key can open any doors, well I think ill pass

It's probably "Zelda like" in the sense that it would have big open areas (basically BoTW like), and "Dark Souls like" because it'll be hard. Though a lot of people said BoTW was Dark Souls like but I didn't find the game to be very hard.

Oh neat, a horse with plot armour.

lack of real dungeon, and lack of this puzzle-solving

What a "real" dungeon is is subjective, also BotW definitely had puzzles. TBH Zelda puzzles have never been very hard so difficulty is no excuse for discounting them in BotW.

This game looks as much Souls-like with the combat as it does Zelda-like in other areas. I'm definitely in either way.

meh ,looks kind of generic , the game is seriously lacking in any sort of lighting effects

 

[mightymuffy]

Doesn't look three bad I suppose, like a few others have said, it's on my radar rather than in my wishlist.
Not that impressed with the graphics though, reminds me of Rime which I've recently played - well, dabbled with for a bit - it bored the shit out of me... it's a definite wait n see for me then.

look to me how prince of percia in World of Warcraft Engine

looks nice enough to pirate it later

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

Seems many Switch games opt for the minimalist texture/flat feel, and I'm not into it. Game looks good otherwise.

Without getting into flashier lighting effects, this is pretty much what Unity looks like in general.

Looks neat! Hopefully it's good. I quite like lore and high fantasy, so hopefully we've got a bit more story going on.

This one's not just Switch, but otherwise I agree, I'm not into the low-poly look

Unreal engine 4 looks promising, given the Yoshi gameplay trailer and how it looked like you were playing the game on a real cardboard diarama.

UE4 does look better overall IMO, hoping Prime 4 uses it too.

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.

I 'member when "Zelda-like" was just "adventure game". You're right, they're using a big title to boost themselves, just like FPS devs were when they used the term "Doom-like" in the 90'ies.

Reminds me of "IBM compatible" hardware and software

To be honest I'm not that impressed but I can't judge just based off a trailer, this game could turn out to be great. Can't wait to see more after the release

...returns to Drakan: The Ancients' Gates
