Pretty impressive considered this was made by 2 people.
Level design is as good as it gets for a 2D Dark Souls, safe for some nonsensical shortcuts. Also fantastic that it has over 20 hours of content, unlike other indie titles. I also love the metroid aspects of the game.
should've been a phone game.
don't fall for this indie trash.
if it isn't free it's too much.
they used to do this for fun on Newgrounds and i never paid a penny
now hipsters think the world is fucking theirs or something
easy to ignore, especially with Dark Souls 1 on Xbox One BC program.

look at me, i buy trash indie games and am the reason the gaming industry is in a quality crisis right now
>>331869289
This desu desu. Nothing groundbreaking but still pretty damn good for an indie.

>they used to do this for fun on Newgrounds
If you really think this game is in any way shape or form comparable to a newground shitty flash game you're insane. The amount of content alone puts on another level. If you think the game is shit and isn't worth the money they ask for it's one thing but using this "lol they used to do it for free" argument is seriously retarded.
The artstyle is seriously garbage though I'll give you that.
>>331870401
The environments look okay in my opinion. The character art is fucking atrocious though. But that's to be expected, it was 2 people drawing on a tablet in photoshop, and i assume they never learned how to draw faces
>>331870401
Indie games are trashing up our next generation, and if you think otherwise, you're part of the trash.
If part of their advertising is that it can also run on the original nintendo and you think that's just great for todays age of gaming, you're trash.
I don't care if it's a 2d game, that doesn't mean it has to look like it's a game boy color and have about as much free content of game time as half the first disc in a final fantasy game
>>331870693
>Indie games are trashing up our next generation
You're wrong though. It's bad indie games, just as much as bad AAA games.
Now kill yourself
>>331870693
Can you explain why you think every single indie game ever made is bad somehow?
>>331870927
Because he's a mouthbreather
It's alright.
The problems I have with it are
>The ending seems pretty rushed and out of nowhere.
>Greatswords and Greatscissors are overpowered.
>Setting up multiple Guides just to travel around the areas quickly is pointless, and honestly they should have just scrapped the whole thing and made you find an item that lets you warp that applies to all sanctuaries instead.
>Gold is pretty useless and you'll always have way more than enough
>Certain weapon types can be transmuted into other weapon types, ie a Greatsword into a Greatscissor, but can't be transmuted back for some reason.
>some areas can be really big and also have locations that look kind of samey, and for me at least, it made it more difficult to figure out where I was an where I needed to go.
>Covenants, or whatever they're called in this, are poorly explained
Beat the game in about 12-13 hours and I had fun with it despite some of the problems I had.
>>331870863
>>331870927
I'll tell you exactly why.
I have never played an interesting indie game, or otherwise notable. I have played flash games with better gameplay, ideas, and story.
>>331868572
Looks ugly as shit but I would probably play this on vita, if I had one.
>>331871121
>100% dark souls rip off
>unoriginal as fuck
>2d
>shit art
>shit gameplay
>12 hours
QUALITY GAME, SIRS, VERY WELL DONE. *FEDORA TIP* WOW, I THINK I'LL ENJOY A BAWLS TO THIS, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF *PUFFS BLACK AND MILD*
>>331871164
How are they "uninteresting"? The indie scene is where most of the experimenting happens, Papers Please for example
>>331871290
>2D is automatically bad somehow
>12 hours is bad somehow
Yeeehh bro! It's like darks souls but 2-D, you know dark souls dark souls dark souls dark souls dark souls dark souls dark souls. Hey have you heard of that game that's like dark souls?

>Greatsword and Greatscissors are overpowered

>>331871448
>12 hours
Not even a weekend of gaming out of it
And, yeah if it's going to be shit 2d art the whole way throuogh, it's pretty trash.
They could at least do 3d models, with 2d gameplay if they really need to cheese money out of people.
>>331871358
checked it on the wiki. Looks like a shitty point and click flash game. Pretty sure I did this same thing playing a stick sniper game, trying to figure out who to assassinate or something.
>>331871290
>100% dark souls rip off
>SotN-esque dashing
>flipping gravity
>platforming in general
sounds exactly like dark souls
>>331871612
Did you just rush through it and skip all optional content? First playthrough took me 20 hours, but then again i'm an explorer
>>331871639
>dark souls ripoff
>2d ripoff elements instead of 3d ones
>gravity woo lad, and it's flipped?! that's never been done in a flash game before!
>platforming.. you mean they didn't have gaps to jump in the tutorial levels of dark souls to implement later in the game?
>>331871290
>12 hours
Only if for faggots who look up how to progress or skip bosses. No one will beat the game in 12 hours in their first playthrough.
@331871612
>here's my opinion on [game I have never played]
I'm not even going to give that a (you), sorry
>>331870693
But indies are the only ones still bothering with actually decent genres like shoot em ups. Without them every decent style of game would be long dead.
>>331871754
Wow, all that additional 8 hours of content for a slow ass mother fucker? Still haven't even filled a weekend with this trash.
>buy game
>beat it before weekend is over
>wow can't wait until next weekend to play it over again and be bored by sunday
>Make a Rogue character
>Literally can't beat Kraekan Wyrm with my shitty Dagger, because low single hit damage and Kraekan Wyrm has flat slash damage reduction
What do? Just mowed him down on my Magic and Strength builds

>>331872054
I only post when I'm at work.
Really enjoyable 2D Souls game, the only real issue is how fucking awful the character models are (which is an issue with every game this dev makes). They look like retarded ninja turtles and it destroys the ambiance the game is going for.
>>331872476
Yeah like i said, the devs never learned how to draw faces so they settled with this fuckng garbage. It's not too bad when you clad the characters in full armor, sadly only a few headpieces competely cover the atrocious faces
>>331871164
>I'll tell you exactly why.
>I have never played an interesting indie game
Well, maybe it's your fault then?
@331872029
It's so easy to pirate them, that's what I did. Why are you trying to shit so hard so on such a wide range of games?
When's it out on vita?

Shit artstyle
Wonky hitboxes
Poor weapon balance(magic is stupid powerful)
Literal souls knockoff
But still a pretty okay diversion.
>>331872896
dude wasn't trying to give me (yous) if you see >>331871843
@331872896
Shut the fuck up, dumb cunt
>>331868572
shitty amateur clone with bad anime artstyle. first boss is literally a badly drawn cthulhu, that's how much this game sucks compared to the brilliant fantasy of hayao miyazaki.
>>331869708
Need some sanctuary for all that salt, remorseful Xbone buyer?
>>331873901
nah i'm good. wouldn't download even if it was free with gold.
>>331872964
cuz magic is powerful stupid knight faggot
>>331872964
>Wonky hitboxes
>Poor weapon balance(magic is stupid powerful)
Sounds like souls alright
How can people like such an unoriginal game this much?
>>331874329
Doesn't mean its not shit in both.
>>331871612
>Paper's Please
>shitty
I feel sorry for you Anon.
>>331874483
I don't disagree, in fact I think that making a game "inspired" by x and coping the bad part of x is fucking inexcusable, I just wanted to do a smart-ass comment
Art style is hot garbage.
>>331868572
dunno how it plays, but i get irritated whenever i see someone praise its art because it is literally one of the ugliest games ive ever seen
>>331868572
ENB is making a playthought, isn't he? I'm not interested in this game at all desu. My interest for DS knockoffs has dropped to zero this last week.
>>331871885
>15 dollars for 20 hours of entertainment
>somehow not worth it
how does it feel to be so fucking poor?
also
>spending 20 of your 48 hours of weekend time playing fucking video games
i audibly chuckled at how sad your life is.
Why are all the bosses so shitty?
Why are the character designs so hideus?
Why is the dialogue so atrocious?
Why is multiplayer so awful?
Overall I think I'd give it a 3/5 so far, I don't hate it but it could be a lot better than it is. Not feeling the world or lore at all though, this shit is bland.
>>331876514
Is that part of the game? Reminds me of Diablo 2.
>mfw it's not only a castlevania ripoff, dark souls ripoff, it also has to ripoff Diablo
>>331876695
Are you retarded? Its not even close to the art style of SaS, its clearly a fan image of DaS.
>>331876789
>spritey 2d shit
>not even close to this spritey 2d shit
Tomato tomato.
>>331876789
SaS isn't retro shit, sprites are hd.
