Anyone else excited for this? Basically Roguelike Dark Souls with a very cool artstyle.
looks like shit
I dont know if the game is or will be any good or not but i never liked that kind of style. Most of the time it just reeks of a company that cant understand how to properly create textures and fit them properly on a model. Cel shading is one of those things that really kills aesthetics for me a lot of times.
This looks bad and you should feel bad
>Roguelike
good fucking job putting this in the OP, sure to attract triggered people
>>344638791
>>344634935
Did your first shilling thread not work out?
>>344638791
Looks neat, and I like the art style. If it comes out for SteamOS/Linux I'll have to look into picking it up, especially if it works well with the Steam controller.
>>344638791
>Roguelike Dark Souls
Do those words even have a meaning anymore?I'll pirate anyway, looks neat

It's not a roguelike and it's nothing like Dark Souls.
I was excited for it when I first saw it last yearand i just stopped being excited for it once I saw the price
>>344639926
Is this your first day here?
>>344639982

Oi little oppa, better educate yourself on what trip actually means before you out youreslf as idiot.

all games are gimmicks these days. whats your point?
Ill definitely pirate it because in no way do i trust those relatively high rec specs for a game that looks like that.
I forsee it running like shit and therefore playing too slowly.
mark my words.
Is there gear?

>wasting $30 on a game in 2016 that literally looks like it was made on ps1
>>344638791
>roguelike dark souls
Low poly hacknslash with perma death doesn't make it a roguelike or dark souls.
>>344638791
I adore the style and concept, but the trailer didn't show any cool / interesting stuff and the combat looked floaty. I'm going to buy it anyway, but can't say I'm as excited as I was for Soulsborne games.
>>344640318

Okay, good style to emulate i can get behind
>procedural

FUCKING INTO THE FUCKING TRASH WITH THE OTHER FUCKING GAMES.
Nothing screams "WHAT ARE VIDEO GAMES I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GAME DESIGN OR LEVEL DESIGN IS" more than having your entire fucking game procedurally generated.
Seriously I was somewhat hype but I guess I didnt notice you said roguelike.
This is eerily similar to the exact kind of game I've always wanted to play/make since I was like 10. Nethack or Dungeon Crawl, but in 3D.
>>344638791
We already called you out in the other thread, fuck off shill
>>344640127
>>344640102
>>344640274
it's ok anons. i figured it out.
>>344640556
The level design looks fine, at least stylistically.
>>344639947
>>"basically, it's like ___ mixed with ___, I can't think of my own idea's"
In this case it is very obviously just Dark Souls plus Spiral Knights.
Is this a Wii U exclusive?

no, they are not, but nice try.
>>344640701
Don't even bother, crying for mods won't help you.
Be the change you want to see happen.
>>344640758
yes, they are, but nice try.
>>344639524
Sorry, I didn't check, I just remembered it was coming out tomorrow and made a thread. My bad.
I like the dev team because they made the ShadowRun games.
But it looks to me like the weapons and move-sets are every limited, which makes a game like this very repetitive.
I can handle something like Isaac or Enter the Gungeon, because there are more thann 200 weapons/items in each, this game looks like it doesnt have them.
>>344640626
hate to come at you like this but i got news for you retard: style has literally zero to do with level design. you take all the textures and pretty shit off dark souls and the level design is still great.
this has procedural generated levels. there is no level design. im cool with the half-ass cel-shaded graphics it honestly doesnt bother me, but you need to make up for it somewhere for fucks sake.
>cel-shaded graphics, requiring minimal manpower and work
>procedurally generated levels, requires minimal manpower or design time
>copy another games mechanics because you have no talent
>have req specs be way too high for such a simple-looking game, meaning they have no idea how to make a game at their core
>give generic name

Its literally just checks all the boxes of an awful game.
Im honestly hoping it doesnt suck, but all signs point to it sucking.

i've got to say for a newfriend he figured it out quickly
he keep his cool while you all sperged out on him for being new
>>344638791
Not bothering to add textures isn't a style.
>>344638791
Looks worse with every reveal. Animations in particular are sluggish shit.
Only moderately interested in it now.

We sure could use more co-op dungeon crawlers with perma death, but this game looks pretty bad for the price they are asking. If you were to tell me that this was created in Unity in less than a week I'd believe you.
>>344641061
thanks for putting everything that I'm too lazy to type out into a post

Permadeath in co-op games is a stupid fucking idea, though.

>>344641551
thought you were filtering me out?
ill know if it's shit or not when i play it, if it's shit ill refund it, big deal.

Would be a good idea though desu.
In any case, I can just pirate it.
>>344641435
>already deciding on a opinion before playing it
yeah, like watching the new ghostbusters trailer and deciding "nah, that looks like shit, not gonna waste my money for this". only some entitled virgin loser would do something like that. what a fucked up world, seriously, what would people do with their money if not just buy the latest steam indie title? buy a new washing machine? or a new car? retards.

Dragon dildos are a nice investment

>puts trip away to not get filtered

jesus, the cancer is real
>>344638791
idk im waiting on endless space 2 and got simian.interface++ so i can wait
i would buy it for sure if it wasnt made with unity. it will be more annoying to mod . the way the game play is it would be perfect with a link mod default weapon charge to spin and at full health it throws a projectile but unpacking and repacking is a chore

So you're a paranoid autist as well as a tripfag? Okay
Waiting for a torrent isn't a problem, I have plenty of (pirated) games to play, and I'm not particularly excited about this game.

>>344641967
>>344642242
Because if people didn't approach things with a critical eye, this thread and many others would only be infested with shills and braindead sponges.
maybe you should go and find a hugbox if you can't handle dissenting opinions, tripfag~~
>>344642242
by actually warning the people of the flaws of this game or rightouts telling the shill that you won't buy, no matter how hard he shills, you can feel a piece of the shills soul dying. they will get mad and shill even harder, it's funny to watch every time.
with some luck, we get the next phil fish, just need to keep trying. kek is with us.

just checked out of boredom, game is made by HBS, who are responsible for the clunky ipad shadowrun series (returns, dragonfall, hong kong). writing was okay, but gameplay was shit thb.
they couldn't have much time on developing necropolis, shadowrun hong kong was released august 2015.
so they had about a year to come up with this shit.
so to sum it up
>small dev
>designs clunky game with kikestarter money
>goes on to design a dark-souls-rogue-like in less than a year
>shit graphics but high requirements
>$30 "hey, at least it's not full price!"
nah, I'm out
>>344642941
this, there are a real, complete, fleshed out titles made by competent developers out there you could get for $30 or less.
Why would you spend that money on LowPoly Indie Hardbutfair Roguelike Game no.9,714?
>>344643062
>clunky ipad shadowrun series
Really? Each Shadowrun game they released was better than the last. Did you even play 'em?

there, it's cheaper and you will get more gameplay for that, even if it's a shitty port

>>344643219

>>344643159

Returns was crap compared to Dragonfall, yes. But Hong Kong is better than Dragonfall
>roguelike
and how the fuck is that like rogue?
>>344643219
why cant someone own dark souls and necropolis both?
>Roguelike
...
When will people stop doing this so frequently? Has it occurred to anyone that sometimes, unique, non random content can be pretty good, sometimes even better? I'm not saying get rid of the subgenre itself, but that's just one preference. Don't shove it in everywhere. You want random elements in your game, that's your prerogative. But not everything needs it. Many times it's just complete filler for lack of creativity. Make a game artificially bigger with random shit, those daily challenges and such.
Not only is "souls like" becoming the next "zombie game" or "survival game" but you add this element as well. You took a gigantic shit on creativity.
>>344643335
I feel like Dragonfall and Hong Kong were superior in their own ways. The story of Dragonfall feels tighter, but I liked the party and craft-your-own-backstory stuff of Hong Kong more. I was not crazy about Hong Kong's decking, let me tell you.
>>344638791
I am excited, but I also suspect that it won't be any good. Gonna wait for reviews.
>>344643578
>reviews
Just fucking pirate it, you opinionless shit
>>344643670
I don't have to pirate it. I'm not poor. Not gonna sully my computer with some bootsy-ass shit.

You're poor in the head
>>344639982

>>344639010
you mean Valve cant create texutres? good one
also google what is 'Cel shading' cause this is not it
>>344643151
I enjoyed the series, but the gameplay and controls honestly were dogshit.

I don't know what they were thinking, but holy shit. every time you clicked something in the game, it reminded you of its pokemon-like grid-movement, just to remind you of how little quality there was in the game.
>>344643856
Better than actually being poor.
>>344643895
They don't call it blissful ignorance for nothing
>Watch the trailer
>That complete lack of 3D depth for attacking, since attack animations interrupts the footwork
I get the idea, but is making sure its not dogshit too much to ask for?
>>344643950
Having enough money that I can more or less buy whatever games I want without much thought is pretty blissful.

this looks terrible lmao

thx preordered ten copies this looks like the ultimate soulslike experience i'm very glad u posted this
>>344643332
>>344643424
then buy it again. owning two copies of dark souls is still a better deal than any HBS game

>basically a buzz buzzword with a nice meme

This game is super cool and a welcoming breeze of fresh air in the roguelike genre. I enjoy it's unique artstyle and that it combines third-person action with Rogue-lite dungeon-delving for a game that’s fast-paced and addictive, yet diabolically hardcore.
I have no doubt, that i'm going to die - often! - but I'll improve my combat skills, available upgrades, and dungeon know-how with every playthrough, bringing me one step closer to the exit.

Super Mario 64? Damn man that's basically rogue-like and the Dark Souls of colorful 3-D platformers

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing? Practically a roguelike and the Dark Souls of trucking simulators

give me a steam key, i'll review it
I wanted to play it when I first heard of it, but since then I've burnt out on dark souls 3 (and witcher 3), and i never even played that salt and sanctuary souls clone.
i think it looks rather generic and i don't care to play more souls copycats.
>>344652340
Lords of the Fallen is a pretty decent casual souls clone
Dark Souls had actual level design and game design behind it.
This is just lulhardcore randumb dungeons.
>>344653420
The keyword here is "decent", not "good".
>>344655231
I'd call it good if it wasn't abysmally short and small
>>344655451
It would be good if you didn't have to find a new suit of super armor after each new boss.
The best part about Lords of the Fallen is that armor damage reduction is very signifcant.
The worst part is that:
1. Armor is mandatory to avoid instant gibbing
2. You are forced to go for upgrades in each new area if you want to use Medium or Heavy armor
And it doesn't fucking help how many of the later weapons are super super super slow. But they don't hit as hard as they are slow.

Random dungeon can have sweet level design.

But most likely the shit movement will just made the large 3D spaces tedious to navigate.
