I really tried to dig the game but it’s just reminds me of Nioh 2 which I love but I just can’t get with this one :yeshrug:

I still haven’t played the Final Fantasy game yet, Team Ninja needs to stop fukking around and drop Ninja Gaiden already. I’ll still end up playing this sometime this year but idk this one just ain’t connecting with me

@DaSk8D00D what do think about this one if you played the demo? I know you fukk with Nioh like me so I’m interested in hearing your take

Played the demo for a little over an hour. It’s promising but not overtly impressive either. Graphics are weak for a next gen game it is what it is.

I’ve only played with the sword and one spell but combat seems faster and mashier than other souls type games. Movement and even the camera panning feels very “loose” and quick. Having magic/spells alongside your weapon attacks shows potential along with the RPG elements. The general exploration and checkpoints are very much like dark souls, sekiro, etc. If you’re familiar with those kinds of games you know what to expect


one thing I’m not sure I like is having the dodge and deflect being mapped to the same button. I’ve got the timing down well enough but I still feel like I try to deflect some attacks but instead dodge right into them, or the dodge itself throwing me off because I’m not expecting my character jump back 10 feet mid-battle when I’m attempting to deflect something

Here’s a clip of the first phase of the first boss in the demo where you can see the general pace of the combat and how deflection and the spirit bar (think poise from sekiro) work in battle. When the enemy glows red it means they’re about to do an unblockable attack but if you can deflect it it’ll do a bunch of damage to their spirit bar and help you recover some of your own
