What is this game? Looks almost like Souls.

This looks like a combo of Onimusha (PS2) and Demons Souls.

I LOVED Onimusha. Resident Evil and action rpg samurai, Onimusha rocked.

Looks slightly promising. Let's hope it's not another lords of the shadow or whatever the fuck that shitty knockoff was called.

Shit is so cheap at certain times. I am great at soulsborne games. Seems like you have to lure many enemies back to fight them in an open area. If you get multiple enemies on you at once it is over. Would be better if you did not stop to catch your breath wen stanima low. Enemies run towards you with now penalty

Can you invade or be invaded?

That's not true, but don't feel bad you're not alone in spreading that lie. Use a spear in mid stance (you'll swing horizontally, hitting multiple targets) and don't lock on. Take a few steps back baiting them towards to you and into a tighter group before attacking.

>Would be better if you did not stop to catch your breath wen stanima low.
I don't agree. Stop running and mismanaging your stamina bar. After a technique return to your stance (Press R1) to regain expended stamina. In other words: That white/Light Blue portion of the Green Ki bar you see filling up after each attack is the maximum potential Ki you can regain after an attack, press nothing and you lose all of that potential Ki and have to wait for the bar to fill back up on it's own like dark souls. If you press it too soon you only get back a portion, if you wait and press it at the last possible instant you'll gain almost all of that Ki back. It's like reloading in gears of war. Plus there's the Pulse Skill that allows you to regain Ki by switching stances mid combo.

This is mostly unconfirmed, I'm still only decapitating brigands and the summoned revenants of may fallen fellow gamers in the starting area. Haven't even seen my first demon yet.

Only had 30 minutes to play but this seems like a really good game.
I couldn't figure how to to parry and it seems really hard to make an enemy run out of Stamina, but it feels good to have to learn a game again.

I'm glad we have ~10 days to peck at this, as it just might win me over.
>mfw this is the first game I've ever preferred an Axe over any other weapon
>>
>>335597551
If in Light stance you can also press X and dodge to get it back, which is rather handy.
>>
>>335597551
I forgot to mention that enemies need to stop and catch their breath too. This is fucking great. Try to instigate this by blocking and avoiding attacks, when that fucker does stop to catch his breath hit him hard with the mid stance triangle attack and you'll drive your sword/spear through their chest (with the appropriate skill unlocked) which is very satisfying.
>>
>>335597551
>it's like reloading in Gears of War

this is OK. Not a fan of durability management or the fact that every enemy seems to gear with randomly generated stats. Other than that it's a surprisingly good Souls clone. Although I don't really understand the combo creator system or whatever.

The item system is the one thing where they really should've straight up ripped off Souls. 3 slots is way too few for all the different useful items and skill items available. Having ordered items like in Souls would've been much better.
>>
>>335597316
No fuck off this is more fun and actually challenging then meme souls and clearly wants to be more like Onimusha games then Souls games. The two just have overlapping qualities so your retarded brain equates anything with Souls like gameplay to Souls games despite From not being the originator of half the shit they do.
>>
This is actually really fucking fun. BUT HOW THE FUCK DO I KILL 3 GUYS AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME WHILE BEING LVL 1??
>>
>>335598387

the fact that enemies drop RNG gear with stats adds longevity to the game.

>>335598894

They could add 3 more slots by making you holding the directional buttons to switch to another item
>>
So are they going to have a feedback form or something? Why else would they release an alpha demo?

I did not realize that. I need to stop being a little bitch and use that stance more. It does sound handy. Man, all these ways to maintain stamina and avoid damage, but they all require intentional input. Button mashing will get you fucked fast. Plus the way lock-ons work, it's weird at first coming from Souls. But once you kill the urge to pull back reflexively (and in doing so, turning and giving your back to the enemy's weapon) and find yourself staying in that pocket, using parries, counters, perfect guards, switching stances, making specific, intentional inputs and you think HOLY SHIT this game is simulating everything romanticized in samurai films/anime. A protracted confrontation of sidesteps and stance switching a whole fight can end in just one move when the better samurai seizes an opportunity to counter. And it's fun. And it's tough as shit. I'm loving this game. day one buy. I hope there's PvP, my god.

>>
>>335600305
Way to bust out the '13 year old girl on Facebook' response.
>>
>>335600436
It doesn't feel like souls at all. It shares design structure with souls, but plays like onimusha or ninja gaiden minus the ninja running and jumping.
>>
>>335600436
Similar, but combat is much deeper and more akin to a stylish action game like Ninja Gaiden, albeit slower.
>>
So it seems that high stance shit just generally uses more stamina, is slower, but does more damage?

Low stance uses less stamina than mid, is the same speed, but does less damage?
>>
>>335599017
>the fact that enemies drop RNG gear with stats adds longevity to the game.

i actually like this idea. kinda started to get tired of the fixed armor sets.
>>
>>335600934
Low stance allows for longer, weaker combos, and the ability to dodge mid-combo.

Medium gives you a ton of block/parry options with proper skill investment, High is just for murder in a few attacks as possible.
>>
>>335600934
High also staggers more I belive, handy against some enemies where mid or low don't stagger in one hit.
>>
>>335600934
High stance = slow but strong

Mid stance = balanced

Low stance = fast but weak

It's pretty simple really. There are also certain moves that can only be performed with certain stances.

People who say it's completely derivative of Souls are blind, dumb as fuck and haven't played it.
People who say it's nothing at all like Souls are part of the rabid anti-souls crew who jump on the opportunity to shit talk Souls at any given opportunity. Multiple design choices are ABSOLUTELY lifted from Souls. There's no argument against that no matter how much spegs want to flip out over it. The fucking developer has explicitly said as such.
I mean, look at this screenshot. How fucking delusional can you be to deny it.

>>
It reminds me a ton of Onimusha with a little bit of Bloodborne (I'd say Dark Souls, but really, more so BB than DaS), and that's cool with me. I've wanted a new Onimusha for years. The very least Capcom could do is put some of the characters in the Versus Capcom games, but no, not one character from them has appeared in any of em, and that's bullshit.

Parry is guarding, then pressing either Square or Triangle with good timing. The effect of the parry/the button used varies depending on the skill equipped.

For example: Spears can get a parry ability called Twirl. Need to be in Medium stance, and you press Triangle while guarding to activate it. If it works, it instantly grounds the enemy.

Summoning is done from the shrine, but I think it pulls in a random person. Haven't tried it myself because my internet is shit.

To all the people saying this game is like Ninja Gaiden, it is nothing like Ninja Gaiden and that is why I fucking HATE it.

In Ninja Gaiden you play as an honorable Japanese ninja named Ryo Hasashi. Ninja Gaiden celebrates Japanese tradition and culture even in a world facing Western influence. It is a game I am very proud to have beaten using my own strength.

On the other hand Ni-Oh is a game literally about a whiteman who gets shipwrecked and proceeds to slaughter the peaceful natives of feudal Japan and steal their means of defending themselves. This game represents everything wrong with the modern world.

I did not start watching anime and importing Japanese video games to have to deal with white influence in the culture truest to my heart! Do not support this Western filth. Let Team Samurai know that we will not allow our culture to be tainted by Western imperialist propaganda.

I repeat: DO NOT PREORDER THIS TRASH! THIS IS NOT A JAPANESE GAME!

Played a while on account of "its a cheap Dark Souls clone" and what the fuck, it actually feels like its something great rather than a shameless clone, the groundwork looks teh same but the way it plays is just on another level, its faster and has much more complex combat.

Loving that stance stuff and the combos/moves you can do, Souls games have inspired aesthetics but this game has some fucking great combat. Also like the "bloodstains" where if you touch them you fight a clone of the player that died, thats something Ive always wanted to see in games, an NPC version of yourself slamming other players.

Samurai Warriors 4 (the first one), Dynasty Warriors 8 and Pirate Warriors 3 were good though. New Nobunaga and ROTK are decent too.

Unfucking believable. I can't play the goddamn game because I keep getting "NIOH CAN'T CONNECT TO PSN CAUSE I'M A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE!"

It does nothing, you shouldnt be getting hit in the first place. Learn to dodge effectively and watch that "stamina" meter. The way the game punishes the player when they run out of stamina is something id have liked to have seen in Dark Souls, would punish R1 spamming shitters.

It's hard to dodge in 3 vs 1 fight, I'm getting better, but dying in 1 hit is annoying.

>>335604180
This is what happens when someone looks at a good game and instead of just ripping it of like LotF, it takes what makes it great and makes it even better. BB decide to for most of a hack'n slash direction, but i think this is what DaS should have evolved into, making the combat more complex while keeping the slow but tense and strict pacing.

I actually quite like the 1-2 hit deathblows, it feels like an arcade money eating game, something that doesnt leave room for error, you either get good at it or just dont progress, theres no clutch. Its a good thing the loading screens are very short or the game would just have people quitting early.

This game seems awesome, but it might not be for me. I love the Ninja Gaiden and Souls games, but something about this one feels hard in a non rewarding way. Enemies do way too much damage and the controls are really awkward. The stamina system is a bit retarded too.

>enemy comes out of no where and poises through my attack with his giant axe
>I get hit twice and it completely drains my stamina
>I am now fucked because I can't roll or do anything without my stamina

I can see what they are going for, but nothing in the demo actually makes me want to keep playing it, unlike Ninja Gaiden and the Souls games where it gives me a drive to want to improve myself.

I'm also not a fan of the skill system and the shortcut system is complete trash. You have useful items, including your means of healing, such as repairing your shit but you also have the ninja tools like kunai and the fucking spells too, all in three slots. Considering any sane man will want to have the heal equipped at all times, you only have two slots for a fuck huge pool of things.

And tying so many skills to weapons and their stances just feels like it punishes you for not knowing exactly what weapon you'll favor and what stance you'll use the most. I tried making use of the spear and it feels like shit especially when people just poise right through my blows. Now I'm stick with a spear where I invested a shit ton into already.

Had it not been a demo I would have made a new playthrough already.

Anyone else feel like this is the game they've fucking wanted since the PS2 era, but just never got?

I'm sick of ninja shit. I wanted a good samurai game that was either realistic or had oni and yokai and featured in a grotesque feudal Japan. I always hoped the Souls games would eventually have one that took place in the East since every fucking Souls game mentions the East, but it never happened.

This is fucking everything I wanted. It is hard, the attacks aren't flashy DMC shit, and the enemies range from basic samurai to oni. The whole thing is dark too. This will be a day one buy for me. I knew it the second I did the spin move with the hammer that this was the game I had wanted for years.

>I'm sick of ninja shit.

>>335607517
You know what I mean though. I like how grounded the combat is in this game. I'm not doing a bunch of fucking backflips and air combos and shit like that. I don't mind if there are ninja in the game. I'm just sick of them being the focus of stuff.
>>
I must be missing something crucial but holy fuck this stamina system, you're always running out. Do like 2-3 hits, dash away, character turns around and just runs out of breath and you're wide open and can't move at all.

Can't deal with multiple enemies at all due to how much damage they do, one shots from behind.

>The game follows the story of William, loosely based upon William Adams

>William Adams (24 September 1564 – 16 May 1620), known in Japanese as Miura Anjin (三浦按針: "the pilot of Miura"), was an English navigator who in 1600 was the first of his nation to reach Japan. One of a few survivors of the only Dutch East India Company ship to reach Japan from a five-ship expedition of 1598, Adams settled there and became the first ever (and one of the very few) Western Samurai.
