This is a really good game. I'm sure these guys knew what they were doing releasing it this close to DaS but it worked and frankly I like it better than DaS2.
Anyone else playing? What weapons are you using? What build did you go for? Which boss gave you the worst time?
>>333861354
I want to like it but I can't bring myself to buy it with the deviant art tier character design. Rest looks pretty good though.
>>333861695
>deviant art
just reminds me of darkest dungeon desu
>>333861784
It's the wierd way the faces are curved. The main character has an oval head and I can't get past it.
>>333861695
>character design
The CC is quite good though, not to mention you'll likely have a helmet on. There's tons of armor, including enemy drops.
stop shilling this trash
>>333862354
It is weird when they get hit. The animation has your face turn into all teeth.
>>333862354
just find a helmet you autist
>>333862521
fuck off faggot, i actually liked this game
>>333862521
>stop talking about video games
No
it's not on Steam, where can I find it?
better than DaS 3 desu
How's the level design?
That fucking lake witch boss took me more tries than Gherman.
>insane damage
>bullet hell spells
>floating out of reach constantly
She and the unicorn things in the pitchwoods are the most bullshit enemies in the game.
>>333863035
im glad i wasnt the only one who hated her, most people i saw just owned her
thats how it goes i guess
>that art style
seriously, stop shilling this trash
>>333862819
Actually really fucking good. The world is connected, very interconnected in ways that aren't immediately apparent and there are shortcuts to be found.
Also NG+ adds new enemies and treasures.
Played the shit out of it and beat it in the first 3 days it was out.
It would have been perfect t if it just had a fucking map.
Started strength, ended up going Dex with shields and a bow. Really enjoyed it.
>>333863137
No, she's horrible for melee characters.
And melee build best build. Jaws of Death is my weaponfu.

>>333863579
it's actually ridiculous how low your standards are if you think this game is good
What kind of starting classes are there?
>>333863579
How about you stop shilling a game. Seriously, nobody was fucking talking about this garbage and all shill threads start out the same. "Oh man, x game sure is great, has anyone played this game that just came out that nobody cares about except me because i'm the developer shilling on /v/?"
>>333863698
>I haven't played it
>>333863727
Knight, warrior, chef, hunter, cleric, paladin, dickass theif and I'm pretty sure a mage one.

ITT PCuck triggered by a game he can't play
Got my ass kicked by Third Lamb (?) HARD so I had to take a break. Now I'm pretty sure I won't be able to finish this before DaS 3.
and yeah, the game is really solid.
>>333863803
>nobody was talking about it
I'm sorry your games have to have eceleb cred to be relevant to you.
>s-stop shilling!
A 2D game under 20 bucks that no one will seek out unless they're interested in the genre
you got me anon u r a master troll spotter
>>333864061
go home ska studios, nobody likes this garbage
>>333864015
I got it on a whim on release day, played it for two hours and deleted it. It's that bad. It's literally a shameless, unpolished, Newgrounds tier Souls ripoff.
>>333864060
The third lamb is an asshole. Do you have anything to give a holy buff? It really helps.
I think the boss that took me the most tries was the fucking kraken dragon though and that makes me feel like a shitter. Most people roll over him.
>>333864326
sure you did anon
>>333864326
>played it for 2 hours and deleted it
Your opinion means nothing then, though.
Has anyone done any PvP yet?
Couch co-op is fun but I haven't fought anyone else.
>>333864326
>>333864527
>i was terrible at the game and died to sodden knight so now im here crying
shills aren't allowed to insult posters.
fuck off you flaming faggot and git gud
>>333864326
>2 hours
You barely got to the village of smiles. You couldn't equip anything but base weapons. Stop being bad.
>>333864630
>this is what someone actually believes
How many times are you going to post the same thread over and over again? Shill please go home. This game isn't going to magically stop being shit.
>>333864745
It doesn't need to take longer than two hours of playing to realize that the mechanics are clunky and the art is so repulsive and off-putting that no amount of rewarding boss battles or a challenge will save it.
Did the scarecrow spook anyone else the first time?
It was all fun and games until then
>>333864760
its not my thread its just the fact that you retards actually believe people cant enjoy a that game you dont
>>333864865
>mechanics are clunky
How do you know? You had base stats and equips.
>art style > gameplay or challenge
Fuck off, cancer killing video games. Again, how would you know? You didn't fight any bosses. I'd be shocked if you fought two.
>>333865030
That's not what I believe, the problem is how upset this retard is getting because someone dared to insult his game and point out the shilling, so he has to resort to saying "g-git gud!"
How does couch co op work? Do both pekple have to buy the game? My bro and i couldnt get it to work
>>333865281
Frankly, when the only retort someone has is "I played two hours" and the only thing they can mention is an art style they don't personally like, git gud is just as meaningful a reply.
You can not like the game. If you're basing a game off graphics you don't like that's retarded.
>>333865368
>>333865368
Your bro would have to make a character on his own PSN ID. So close out of the game on your ID and have him log in and make a character. Then you would have to log back in and use the sellsword guy to summon him.
>>333865368
Both people need to have the game and have characters. then just summon a sellsword to your sanctuary and have the other guy hit x.
>>333865281
no its the fact that you come into a thread to insult a game that others enjoy. you stated your opinion of the game as fact.
> It's literally a shameless, unpolished, Newgrounds tier Souls ripoff.
everybody knows its a souls ripoff, some might say a tribute, that the devs stated themselves. it's an alright metroidvania, and your opinion of it doesn't mean that it is definitively bad. at least try to have the awareness to state "I think" before saying such things
>>333865453
Considering the game is not as mechanically complex as you'd like to believe it is, two hours is enough time for a fair assessment of the game. Besides, looking at end-game footage, it's still all the same shit; a horribly unoriginal, clunky souls ripoff.
>>333865575
I don't think both people need to own it. My girlfriend played with me and all she needed to do was log in on my PS4 and make a character.
>>333861354
Been playing it nonstop. It's a solid game. Spears have the most broken phantom range ever.
>>333865725
>it's not as mechanically complex as you think it is
It's as complex as I know it is. I have multiple characters on several stages of NG+. I'm not the one basing my opinion of complexity off of a fucking let's play.
>souls ripoff
The developers have admitted it's an homage.
Luckily, I finished this before DS3 because I wouldn't have gone back to it otherwise. That said, it's a pretty fucking good game.
The witch of the lake is a garbage, unfun boss in my opinion, but every other boss is pretty solid and fun to fight.
Best souls-like that isn't actually a souls game desu.
I've played the game through twice, once as a strength build that used Greatswords, maces, and a bit of miracles, and once as a dex build that used swords and guns. It's a good game, but I feel like they didn't really balance the game much.
Nothing really gave me a hard time on my first playthrough, but my second run through felt like a hard mode because my weapons generally did subpar damage compared to the Greatsword, which can hit almost as fast as anything else in the game and do huge damage, and most of the light armor kind of sucked.
Also wasn't a big fan of the later platforming segments and these fucking enemies.
>>333865729
My bad, I thought for sure you did.
>>333866109
admitting that it's a homage is supposed to be admirable now? it doesn't bring anything original to the table-- it's a blatant ripoff. if i wanted to play a shittier version of a better game i'd download Call of Heroes: Duty 5 on my smartphone. go talk about this garbage on reddit
>>333866176
>later platforming segments
This more than anything kind of let down the last bit of the game. I'm sure I could have followed a let's play or some shit but it took me forever to figure out how to progress in some areas.
And fuck pitchwoods. I haven't even fought Carsejaw yet, are the weapons his drops give you access to worth it?
>>333866402
>it's a ripoff!
>it's literally an homage, dude
>w-well that's unoriginal!
>>333866109
>The developers have admitted it's an homage
Homage is putting it lightly, man. Like Shadow of Mordor is an Asscreed homage.
>>333866402
if it was a third person 3d game maybe somebody could agree
but it's a fucking metroidvania
fuck off there yourself
>getting to the keepers of fire and sky
just fuck my shit up
>>333866497
>pitchwoods platforming
>hard
what
all the blue platforms have pretty simple timing
>>333866674
It's 2D souls in more ways than not, down to death mechanics and lore.
But seeing as how they got a lot of things right in said homage: level design, challenging areas and bosses, varied builds and weapon choices, I dint really see that as a bad thing. I'm pretty sure everyone who got this game was expecting it to tide them over till DaS3. I'm just pleasantly surprised that it holds up on it's own as a game.
>>333866731
Really? I heard so many times how hard this was, then when I finally got to that area I did it in less than 5 tries. "is that it?"
Though I had been using the wall jumps and dart techniques excessively since I unlocked them, shit's fun
>>333866910
>always fall right as they're disappearing
I never was gud at platforms. No bully.
>>333867185
you can hold on a wall for about half a second before wall jumping, and if you're really desperate use a weapon like a dagger and swing in midair to buy some time
I know That Stench Most Foul is pinwheel tier but that didn't stop me from dying to him like 20 times.
>>333866967
I think there's a certain amount of nostalgia people expect when they hear "homage" and it's probably not helping that core mechanics are what's borrowed and not simply a certain boss fight or song melody.
There's interest in making Souls games a trend. S&S may just be a first-wave "classic" in this trend when we look back five years from now.
