me

anyone want to play?
i have no friends

Are leveles randomly generated?
>Quests: lit 3 beacons, kill 10 skeletons
>The level is extremely short, theres only 1 beacon and 5 skeletons who dont respawn
cool game

It's a roguelike, so yes.
First life I ended up in a swampy biome with poison enemies a few levels in.
Second life I wound up in a fire/factory area at the same point.

>buying le epic Dork Souls so hard xDDD games

fuck off to reddit, ok?

Game's not even hard. Combat doesn't even really play out similarly to Dark Souls, mostly because replicating that would be impossible on an indie budget. It's more of a beat em up type game than anything.

Pretty boring desu, found a tier 2 battleaxe on the first floor and one-shot everything, got to like floor 5 before it got weak, quest system is fucked though, would prefer it if quests were done on one floor at a time.

Good thing I pirated it though.

So how do i cancel quests?

Yeah, the equipment needs some work. Weapons I get, different types have different movesets, damage, damage types, etc.

But shields just seem to all be the exact same, I see no difference between the tiers or sizes of shields.

>We want soulsfag audience

Damn that looks cool.

>no control rebinding even on keyboard
>no proper support for anything but xbox controllers
>clunky animations
>clunky combat
>clunky UI atleast on my unsupported controller

For how hyped I once was for this and how great it looks it sure is a disappointment of a game.

hey
so i played a bunch and i'm still alive, down in level 6 now
what happens when you die exactly ? what do you keep ? tokens i guess but what else ?

Codexes are permanent. Game hands you a bunch of tokens and some gems to start with based on how far you got. That's about it I think.

>For how hyped I once was
>hype

Fuck off

I thought this game had some kind of multiplayer like Souls but I have no friends to play with and now I'm dissapointed

never played a souls game have you fedora

k
on lvl8 now
only challenging part is the actual artificial difficulty of spawning enemies in your back
still haven't died
i'm drowning in supplies
no depth to combat whatsoever
glad i pirated, will probably uninstall soon its already getting boring

>too easy/no insta- or certain deaths
>iron rations is all you ever need
>no bosses to casualfilter
>finding t3 or t4 armor will make you almost invincible
>enemys begging to be dodged

except for those bretty gud game
enjoyable 4,5h

the only thing you can't do in Souls is rebind the keys, but that is standard procedure with console games anyways (even if it sucks). This is a PC game. There is no excuse.

It's fun in multiplayer, just because you keep accidentally knocking the shit out of each other. Though 30 bucks is steep to ask a friend to pay.

Does this have splitscreen?

how the fuck do you get a non-360 controller to work on this

x360ce works for like 5 seconds before the game disables it, somehow

This, the game is extremely easy for anyone who ever played Souls game. The only difficult moment i ahd was on level 4 when the game throwed 20 guys at me and additional guys were spawning while i fought them
At level 5 the game became so boring i dropped it

Is it worth pirating

>heh its like darksouls

Will never buy

>bretty gud game
No, it's not

I'll play solo.
Do I buy Salt&Sanctuary or Necropolis?

Necropolis was made to be played co-op since it's dull as fuck otherwise

it's gud, user. i'm sure there are many peeple on Sup Forums that are lookin for someone to play

Why the fuck doesn't the GOG version have multiplayer? Were they seriously too fucking lazy to implement direct IP servers?

S&S is a good metroidvania that would be good without souls "influences".
Necropolis is a piece of a fucking trash.

Salt is cheaper and I've heard much better things about it. Necropolis is a sale game for sure, something you wanna pick up for 20 dollars and play with a friend.
It's not bad, just not exceptional at all. Could've used more time in development to flesh out combat.

>pick up for 20 dollars
Still too much

Yeah, as it is now it's only worth like $5

>pressing escape for the menu doesn't pause the game with infinitely respawning enemies

great game

why :^)?

another game pandering to souls fags with little substance that people will defend out of buyers remorse.

That sucks. I was hoping this would be a fun slasher which the PC desperately needs more of.
At least we'll be getting scaleborn but fuck microshaft

>scaleborn
Scalebound, though i'd rather get Horizon and NieR: Automata instead

More or less. I want something meaty and nobody is making any for some reason? Do people not like crunch?

Dropped and refunded the game after 18 minutes. Really boring and no depth or anything whatsoever. Also pretty easy. The AI is really stupid too.

I wish this shitty ass game would stop being shilled on this board.

>shilled
>90% of the posts are about how people regret buying it
What did he mean by this?

I'd play with you.

SHILL SHILL SHILLY SHILL SHILL

HE'S TALKING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES ON THE SHITPOSTING AND OFFTOPIC BOARD, THAT MEANS HE'S A SHILL
SHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

Literally, unironically kill yourself. Not even joking, step away from the computer, tie a rope around your neck, and hang. No one will miss you.

I'm surprised by the amount of backlash this game is getting. Were people actually hyped for this? I never heard anything about it until a day before release.

the (literal) meme humor is excruciating and everything is randomly generated. i advise against spending money on it

Mostly just the usual Sup Forums contrarian shitposting, but it is overpriced for what it is.

If they keep updating the game it could be something special but as of now it's not worth the buy.

>nub feet
>le stronk female warrior
>memes
so was this developed in san francisco or montreal?

theyre both shit games desu. its a shame because id enjoy a good souls clone

by meaty and crunch do you mean games with visceral combat? because im missing that too

>the (literal) meme humor
It's literally not meme humor, just plain bad humor

seattle actually. same part of the country as SF with the same sjw liberal scene. The whole northwest corner of the US is a hipster progressive circlejerk

user, are you okay? Did you have a concussion?

I thought it looked cool when I first heard about it but $30 and all the bad reviews turned me off pretty fast

Yeah, I haven't ran into any memes yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time with how lazy these jokes are, though.

Is there a way to pause the game?

Yes. I want hits that feel like hits. So far the only games on PC I've played that's done that is MGR and Zeno Clash. I want lots of enemy and weapon types with lots of strategies for dealing with them as well.

Pause? In my Soulsborne? THE NERVE

it's like souls, just quit out and the game autosaves

No, it's built around co-op

The game didn't even have co-op originally. It's just like that because Dark Souls does it like that.

If I had friends, and if they actually wanted to play this I would probably pay the 30 dollars. Even though I think that's overpriced for the content I've seen so far.

I quite like Harebrained and bought Necropolis. Too bad it sucks. Refunded.

Also the animations are fucking weird. Like some of them run at full FPS and others feel like they run at 10 or 15 FPS (weapon trails and items breaking). Jarring as fuck.

>The game didn't even have co-op originally
Bullshit, co-op is a highlighted feature

Same here. I'll probably get it once it's $10

Nah, no memes afaik but the humor is corny. Think Dungeons of Dredmor or the like, but less witty

Why the fuck do you indie fucked just want to emulate soulshit. Is it because it is popular and cheap as shit to make?
Make a fucking singleplayer arena shooter, HnS or rpg with good number autism and quests you indie fucker.

>30$ 5 hour game with no weapon variety or interesting loot

Or textures

oh thats good to know actually. Still lack of a pause is infuriating. Like the game so far

If you get the ranged weapon the little Big Daddy things use, you are set. Does fire damage, has a dot and staggers like fuck. Dunno what other ranged weapons exist, I see black phantoms using crossbows though.

Also heavy weapons are top tier, get one ASAP.

Presentation of this game is fucking dogshit. Looks like the development build of the game with placeholder graphics and animations except they just shat it out as is and called it a day

what did he mean by this?

id just like a good third person dungeon crawler with good combat. people consider that synonymous with souls now, i think.

except the fucking control is similar, only improvement is you have third person shooter control with the mouse.
if you make a pc game. allow us to hotkey, not item switching bullcrap.

Shame, I was looking forward to this and hoping it'd be good.

Guess I'll hope it improves and pick it up when it's under $15.

The player character has more detail to it than an entire level

Looking at videos here and the combat looks fucking awful.

it needs more then just sword and board
needs double the levels 20 at least
needs bosses rather then just one at the end
needs to be harded but not by spawning more shit
needs more interesting enemy types
needs faster combat or a different fix
combat needs to be more inpactful

User reviews:
Overall: Mixed

>needs to be harded but not by spawning more shit
nah, it isnt souls, it is acceptable as you have aoe as a default move.

Reposting from previous thread

It's okay.
The game basically combines everyting a Souls game has and a rouge-lite has
>good aesthetic/art direction
>faniliar combat (to souls players)
>tight controls
>interesting enemies
>great environments
>decent random level generation (though I haven't played throug as many times yet, but keep finding new rooms/combinations)
>nice humour
>exploration is offen rewarding

However, this also includes the bad points both have
>terrible camera when locked on (wall clipping etc)
>some hitboxes can be cluncky
>being swarmed by enemies is the worst thing that can ever happen
>many pointkess/half-empty rooms
>1 hit + dodge is the most reliable and safest strategy
>some weapons have fairly useless special attacks
>not enough weapons variety
>the rougelike progressions feels lackluster

I've played all the Souls games and about 80% of recent rouglites and the game is fun, a lot more fun with a friend or two, but can also be more challenging due to friendlyfire

Overall a decent game, but could use more content in general, feels rished

With possibly more content cane become good

>good aesthetic/art direction
>tight controls
>interesting enemies
>great environments
>decent random level generation
>nice humour
>exploration is offen rewarding

>shit memes
>nice humour

thats true but i still dont want to have every encounter be like 25 weak guys with 2 strong ones

single monsters arent that hard to deal with

Compact lacks ANY sense of impact. It's so fucking boring. Refunded it after 90 minutes.

I like everything else about it but the combat just looks like it has no weight behind the strikes.
Floaty combat just isnt good enough these days. You gotta have weapons that are satisfying to use and that comes from exaggerated effects like slapping an enemy flying with a swing of your warhammer, or slicing them in half with a greatsword.

I was supposed to browse pornographic pictorial evidence, but byt instinct I came to Sup Forums again.

There goes my Gianna Michaels fapping session.

Again.

>she looks incredibly ugly

The fuck are you talking about?

>battleaxes are powerful and fast

Why

The biggest problem to me is how enemies animate when stunlocked. Even the Souls' games most basic hollows get slapped around and it's really obvious you're knocking their asses about.

But in this game it's like "oh I guess he's stunlocked? Maybe? I'll just keep hitting I guess"

Ow that edge! Got any more gems like these?

Why aren't you permabanned from Sup Forums yet

This game is the latest example of how procedural generation of content results in shitty, boring games that could have otherwise been pretty cool if the developers had bothered to actually build real levels.

With textures

>90% of the posts are about how people regret buying it
>defenders in every thread when this game had zero threads before release

What did he meme by this?
