Why aren't you playing dark souls 2D /v/?
because dark souls isstale
>xD DARK SOULS WAS SO HARD ITS ITS OWN GENRE!!!
Fuck off, retard. Dark Souls wasn't even difficult, it was just filled with terrible game design that made playing it a fucking chore.
>>316624506
what game?
>>316624506
dont leave us hanging op, what is it?

>>>/reddit/
>>316624636
please point out to me where someone said dark souls was hard in this thread
>>316624636
spotted the casual
>>316624506
What game this is?
Oddalus is nothing like 2D Dark Souls. It's also pretty short.
I had a lot of fun with it, though.
>>316624728
Wait until you see the incredible Ninja Gaiden like "cinematics"
>>316624652
Odallus
>retro game that actually looks retro
is it worth the $15?
torrent where
>>316624912
thanks duder.
>>316624995
It's a bit on the short time and I'd say it's actually pretty forgiving difficulty wise, but I had a pretty good time with it anyways.
Ignore OP, though. It's not 2D Dark Souls. It's Castlevania 3 + Cthulhu with some very light Metroidvania touches
>>316625182
... so it's Dark Souls?
>>316624506
>>316624728
It's not an actual NES game?? It looks pretty authentic. This is really uncommon.
>>316625318
How the fuck is Castlevania 3 anything like Dark Souls?
T O R R E N T B O Y Z
>>316625345
Nope

It also nails the Ninja Gaiden style cinematics exceedingly well. Looks good while actually being faithful.
>>316625475
check literally any torrent site, dummy
>>316625390
BECUZ ITS HARD XD!!!
...it actually looks good....
Not convinced about the length though....
I'm impressed. I usually shit on these retro sprite games, but this one looks so good.
>>316625706
Yeah, it's enjoyable but a bit short
It's like 4 to 6 hours long if you main line it. 7 to 10 if you look for every secret exit, level and every piece of equipment and relic.
>>316625476
Well dang, it seems like they really know the games they claim to be inspired from. That art is no slouch.
>>316624759
>Impying that reddit doesn't like dark souls
>>316624506
>>316625345
>>316624728
So in a few years we'll get well drawn sprites for 2d Snes indies then n64 tier graphics soon?
Dark Souls 2D doesn't have country music.
This is the actual Souls game in 2d
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLkHA-W8KFA
>>316626015
no because n64 graphics looked like hot garbage the day they were released
we only lived with it because it was new tech
>>316626139
I don't like the way he talks.
>>316624506
Because Odallus is fucking shit, that's why.
>>316626015
We already got Freedom Planet, even if it originally started as a fangame. But I am still waiting for something else.
>>316626015
God, i hope no. Ps1/n64 3d games aged like shit.

>>316626394
Even now, Vagrant Story looks pretty good.
>Check google images
>Get a heap of shit with a stretched aspect ratio or bad graphics filters
Fucking why?
>>316625476
See, this is an example of a good pixel game.
Almost all indie devs have forgotten that NES games actually tried to look good for the most part. They use pixel graphics as an excuse to make their game look "shitty" on purpose.
I fucking hate typical, lazy pixel devs. This shit is bananas, though.
>>316626139
>Soulslike
>>316624506
That actually looks pretty good
Because metroidvanias fucking suck.
>>316626015
That makes no sense and has no correlation with anything.
>>316626139
welp, that settles it, I'm naming my next platformer "Mariolike"
I already played Demon's Sperm, though.
The mechanics and controls were great, but the level design was painfully boring (also the enemies were all too weak).
>>316624506
It's more of a Castlevania modernization man don't mislead people.
>>316626895
Order of Ecclesia was good.
>>316624506
I dont even get what a souls game anymore
I was playing Chantelise, all the reviews said it was like Dark Souls
I only played Dark Souls for a few hours but I dont see the resemblance. Chantelise was actually a fun game.
>>316626753
>>316627071
The game is called Salt & Sactuary, no idea why that term pops up so big in the tumbnail.
>>316626895
Get out.
>>316624636
Jesus christ, talk about getting triggered over nothing.
>>316627128
>implying Demon's Souls isn't Castlevania in 3D
>implying Dark Souls isn't Metroidvania in 3D
>>316626895
It's not a metroidvania though.
When will indies with authentic low poly art come out? It seems like the only good low poly stuff is on 3Ds....
>>316627241
Am I getting trolled?
>>316627416
Yes.
>>316626139
Too bad it looks hideous and floaty, I'd rather play that Odallus game.
>>316627416
No.
>>316627241
But the Souls games are marked by their weighted and committed combat...which Odallus does not have. It's definitely more Castlevania than it is Souls.
>>316627416
Maybe.
>>316627151
I haven't finished it, but i remember it mixing classic and metroid style. The classic levels weren't near as good as the good classicvanias though.
>>316625182
Play Castle in the Darkness then
>>316627416
I don't know.
>>316626895
Who the fuck let Arin Hanson in?

CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION
>>316625182
Wait, CV3 was super unforgiving.
It's by far the hardest of the classicvania games.
>>316626139
>this was supposed to be released already
>>316624506
Looks more like Castlevania to me, chum.
>>316627127
>tfw the only translation option is a fucking cheat engine thing that takes forever to translate it

uhhhhh
>>316625182
>it's castlevania
>it's also a metroidvania
you're an idiot
>>316626015
No you dumb fuck. Traditional animation doesn't get easier just because technology improves.
The most you'll get is shit more tweening.
>>316627837
>Shovel Knight, Destiny
every time
>>316628150
There isn't really anything to translate other than some minor shopkeeper dialogue and the ending though. Anything else can be figured out on the go.
>>316626015
well,
>>316624506
fine, I'll get it
you're the second person on this shitty board to recommend it
looks like a shitty NES game that time rightfully forgot.
>>316624728
you should see their other game, oniken
>>316628307
It's only very barely a metroidvania game. It plays for the most part like original Castlevania, only you can collect some upgrades and there are secret levels Mario 3 style.
>>316624506
Game?
>>316624506
so is this just unnecessarily difficult or is it more fair like the typical Castlevania game
>tfw every third person sword and shield game is now considered "______ darku soulsu" ECKS DEE
>wanted to make a game inspired by Castlevania
>don't want you autistic faggots to refer to it as a "souls" rip off
do people not feel any sense of shame in these knock offs? Every enemy and type in the short video is from some NES game. Undertale and Shovel Knight give me that feel too.
Its like that Vince Vaughn remake of Psycho, only they've passed it off as ORIGINAL GAME DONOTSTEAL
>>316628924
Odallus: The Dark Call.
It actually feels more like Castlevania than Dark Souls.
It even has a similar world map layout
>>316624834
oddallus
>>316628979
>caring what /v/ thinks
>2D Dark Souls
So you mean a Metroidvania with melee combat?
Fuck off with your Soulslike bullshit, ot looks like the devs were more inspired by Castlevania and its ilk than Souls.
>>316627127
I cant play games like these.
This one and Parasite in The City always have no real quality to them to keep me going for long, besides maybe the new rape animations coming from progression.
Still I usually nut in the first level and then I am out of any fucks to give. Really too bad there will probably never bee a hentai game which is so strong in other aspect that you actually forget your dick.
>>316628893
Uninspired Platformer at heart
This is the 2D Dark Souls.
>>316629292
it's really not just /v/ though, every game site refers to these games as a "souls" game now. Sometimes it is justified, like when Shovel Knight plagiarized the "run back to your bloodstain to get your points back" mechanic. But most of the time the connection is just that it's a third person hack n slash.
The weird thing is that no one calls platformers "mario" rip offs, or FPS games as "call of duty" rip offs....so idk
>>316629605
>calling Shovel Knight "souls-like" is justified
holy shit no
>>316629884
they clearly got the idea for that mechanic from the Souls games, bruh
>>316628979
You can always find excuses not to accomplish things, anon. Don't die a useless nobody, finish your game.
>>316627071
>there are people on this board to young to remember that for the longest time fps games ware called doom clones and doom like
Naming a genre this way is not a new concept
>>316629605
>The weird thing is that no one calls platformers "mario" rip offs, or FPS games as "call of duty" rip offs....so idk
yes, yes they have.
thing is many of these "souls-like" games deliberately try to be like Dark Souls, and dont hide it. Lords of the Fallen, was clearly inspired by Darksouls gameplaywise. something like Death's Gambit, as well. Malebolgia clearly tries to do the atmospheric hack and slash lore thing
>>316624636
What a fag.
>>316629005
they arent quite as bad as that. But they do feel bordering on plagiarism. Undertale was particularly bad for that.
>>316624506
I did a feature on it the week it came out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWdthwxzHY4
>>316624506
You mean this one?
(too bad the game freezes when you hit a certain level)
>>316627416
Can you repeat the question?
>>316630005
They probably did get it from Souls.
But it's not a unique mechanic, the first two Diablo games did something similar, but where you drop your loot instead of exp. And this was the late 90s, but I question how many modern game devs and Souls fanboys have even played that.
>>316629526
Completely agree.
>>316625345
NES games aren't widescreen
>>316624506
Wow instead of being inspired by metroidvania they literally just copied the art direction of both games
>retro
NO.
FUCK OFF WITH THIS BULLSHIT.
> death's gambit
> 2016
>>316624636
>Dark Souls wasn't even difficult
Who gives a shit?
>>316630346
is your show called short play because you're a manlet?
>>316630374
what is this?
>>316629526
Come on now, anon, you know no one here is old enough to have played that
>>316631857
Dark Souls for Spectrum.
(yep, it's a real thing)
>>316624506
I just started this today, it's pretty cool. Got killed by the fourth area boss.
>>316624506
Didn't they promise a hard mode (or veteran mode or something)? Still nothing?
>>316632190
Pretentious faggot.
>>316629526
>man I don't remember this game being hard as all when I was a kid
>boot it up
>get my ass ploughed
Jesus fuck I don't know if it's because I had the PAL version as a kid and I tried playing the NTSC rom or what but I honestly had trouble.
>>316630005
doesn't make the game "souls-like" all of a sudden outside that 1 mechanic

Is it good though? I haven't played it yet

oh shit, is this made by my brazilian bros that made Oniken?
Time to pirate it!
