For real. I’m not sure how easily it can be fixed with such a small studio but this game is about 95% of the way to being a banger.

What fascinates me the most about games like this isn't even the games themselves, it's that you can always find people who play them but haven't played single a From Software game.

@@kitkat5465 oh no, comparatively, on the surface, this is objectively worse. However, it's important to note that it is a functioning game (with obvious bug fixes needed) done by a smaller indie studio with a team that is probably 3-5 people in total and then distributed for less than half the price. if you want comparisons of actual quality, look at titles like Valhiem, Minecraft, or Divinity. Divinity was such a good game, Larian Studios was approached to develope the new Baldurs Gate title. So, is this game better? No, but the gap between this game and a triple A title is not nearly as wide as it used to be.
it may be weird, but there are people who prefer clones and "-likes" over originals (OG?). Like myself who love hack'n'slash/action RPGs but never liked Diablo2... or played a ton of FPS games but didn't like old Doom and Quake...
@@sydnayallen6762 I've now read that these animations/assets are outsourced from FromSoftware and could be purchased by anyone. I might have jumped the gun on this one. At this point it could just be a morality issue since the game is essentially a "Souls Like". I guess we'll find out.
they literally stole elden ring code to make the boss have exactly the same attack animation, key frames and timing there is not some cool things its legit stolen code.
The two replies above me are misinformation. The devs are still actively taking feedback and working on fixing things. Not to mention the fact that it's not stolen code. It's outsourced assets, which are largely available for third-party retail. FromSoft uses third party assets all the time, most games do. That's why you can sometimes hear the exact same SFX used in other media.
But easy to forgive when you know 3 devs made this game. They did well considering, but hopefully they can improve, grow and make a better game in the future
@Handtomouth they spent their budget on the game they can't afford PR, I just find it easier to forgive a studio that has low budget and a very very small dev team. Now if this was EA or Activision pulling this shit totally different story.
A shame. This game looked cool, and the sound and art of the game were great. It seemed they spent their wad on that, instead of taking time for polish and good mechanics.
Its made by 3 people. The world is amazing. I hope they get some fans and money from the release so they can hire more people and either fix this thing up or create something better.
Its really weird, the sound in the intro was badass, then you hear his little footsteps on the metal and it just sounds awful lol, you'd think the opposite would be better to work on, cuz you hear your character running around the whole time youre playing.
It's always tragic when a small team makes a game that's far too ambitious for their means and resources. Despite the passion and commitment of the developers, these games usually suck.
the real problem is that they don't do indie games. You just can't do a AAA title as three people and not expect it to play like shit. Hollow Knight was made by 3-4 people and it is a pretty much perfect game and pretty much every Dark Souls fan reccomends it. They chose a 2d comic style because it is just easier to develop. And sitll made it look gorgeous af with perfect game and flawless gameplay without frame drops or bugs (hehe). And they sold over a million copies.
1:01 Not the only boss/enemy. There's literally a Abyss Watcher in the game. Also the climb animation/attack on that enemy reminds a lot of another game. Can't remember which. At this point the game should be called Frankenstein, it uses parts of other games and the character I play feel like was made by using parts of a Drowned person, with the brain of a narcoleptic addicted to LSD, partially lost in reality, thinking he's living in medieval times, when he's actually in the middle of a factory in london from a generic Sci-Fi movie. 10/10, bought two copies.
Haha probably get bored and quit omduring the canyon run to Gran Soren or rage quit drying to fight the Drake outside the Shadow Fort because he'll try and fight it way to early.
he just would pick the 2h class and spam jump attack just like in eldenring. if i remember correctly that was the stronges/a strongt way to play the class
1:03 what was hilarious to me is that when i saw him do that move i thought "hey this game looks pretty well made, maybe it isn't just a darksouls knockoff" then i see that it was taken frame be frame from Elden ring, jesus christ....
I immediately recognised that move xd Also Asmon used a weapon art from Elden Ring in the same fight (when you jump with a spear and thrust it into the ground, it was called Storm*something* in ER)
Everyone complaining about stolen assets go look it up. Turns out the developers used an asset pack off of Epic and it was the creator of that pack that stole it. When they complained Epic essentially said not our problem. The animations have since been replaced. They are not the only creators to fall victim to this.
You release a game because a game is in a playable state. You don't release a game that is unplayable just because it is "good enough" coming from 3 devs. The number of people working on it shouldn't be an excuse.
A few other stolen assets were found, like some from code vein. The dev is fixing it apparently, they bought some assets from the unreal store which were found later to be illegitimate. The issue is pretty big and only recently has started to come out. Itch, unity asset store and unreal asset store are being flooded with ripped and stolen shit.
Asmon got more performance troubles than I did, but he's not wrong about the jank. I found most of it could be adjusted to and have been having a lot of fun with the game, but some improvements would help a lot.
Just completed this last night, and honestly I had a great time with it. Once you understand the jankyness and accept the glitches the world/level design is sooo good it gave me the same type of feeling DS1 gave me, will definitely come back in a years time to see where the devs go with this.
The music is one of the worst ive heard ina game. 2d games have better. The looks are horrible. Map design is just bland hallways with no assets, and you thought enemies were good? Oh dear god
@@sirrus6666 no, but 2d games have way less of a budget, sometimes 1/10th of 3d games, if they can pull together crisp audio then surely this dev can, the first boss literally sounds like a dracula theme music song from a 1990 console.
And this is why I don't get excited about games made by 1 guy or 3 guys or very small plucky and aspirational teams. It sounds really wholesome on paper but there's a reason they don't tend to do that shit in the bigger studios.
The animation side by side is not the only animation thats directly ripped from ER. Ive been watching videos and ive seen too many for it to be coincidence.
Classic no playtesting situation, I tell all my students, first thing: make the controller great to move around with, second thing: give it to other people to confirm, If you don't do those 2 things, don't move ahead with the rest
I dunno if you guys saw the steam discussions on this game but its like all: "Please! don't listen to the users review bombing it" "Some people just want to watch the world burn" No one's out here review bombing it... Its not even a well know game! ITS JUST NOT GOOD and normal people are reviewing it.
What exactly do you appreciate in that? 1. The 10 hour gameplay for 25 Euro, which is fine? 2. The "customization" options for passive talents that"s just a no brainer? Why is it hard for game developers to make a talent tree that is going to be different for each player, not the exact same thing? I'm not asking for PoE, but you know 1/10 of PoE would be still better than nothing. 3. 6+1 Bosses including a copy/paste? 4. Copy/paste enemies? 5. Final Boss being a Doppelganger of the player, which is extremely lazy? 6. You know what's a named main character is good for? An excuse for no PvP, no Co-op and no character creation. 7. Why is it even a "Souls-like"? There is no stamina management, nor weight limit, armours... rings... whatever. Do you even lose something on death? I don't even remember, because i just watched it on RUclips when it came out and i was not even really disappointed. I rather eat 3 Mcroyal and spend another 10 hours in Elden Ring. I thought about this multiple times, there is just no reason to buy these indie games, its not an achievement if you complete them... You never play them again. Its a waste of time. Really the only good in it is that it has a reasonable price tag.
@@lordcarl3094 The game is fun with fluid movement and some good bosses. It is a mixture of Sekiro and Bloodborne but on indie level. Also stealing enemy's abilities to use for yourself is a dope idea.
@@MIOrko Now that you mentioned it, yes i remember the ability steal. I think one of the first games that had a similar mechanic was Final Fantasy, it was interesting to see that in a different type of game. You can definitely add that to the positives with the price and i'll give you the benefit of the doubt about fluid movement.
I don't care what anyone says, considering this was made by three dudes, it's amazing and much better than what most big teams are putting out in the triple A community lately. 3 dudes, many bugs, ok, expected. A team of hundreds putting out an unfinished game with day one patches and sometimes a year later still a mess, there's no excuse to justify it.
refunded the game after only 30 minutes, I couldnt stand how bad the controls felt, and how janky the movement was. It made even the first encounters an absolute pain to engage in.
I mean its clearly inspired by DS1 and Blame!. I don't think anyone ever compared it to Elden Ring except for the people new to the Souls games and had DS3 or Elden Ring as their first souls game.
@Dio-xo9rv Anyone who calls his own points "valid" regarding which video game is the best isnt worth arguing with. If I want to talk to a wall then there are plenty in my house to do that with, I dont need you for that. Have fun seething that you're not getting what you want "mutt" 😉
It seems that the preview version was better. Then they added some stuff and fxxx it up. Let s pray for a quick and good patch. World is nice to explore.
i can clearly see where the inspiration comes from. the whole game is just like spin-off of that one location from death's gambit "garde tum". the setting, the enemies, the location its pretty similar and actually i like the idea, garde tum is one of my favorite from all the souls-like games. its very unique and original, but execution didn't seem flawless, at least they tried.
If they weren't so desperate to straight-up copyright Elden Ring, this would've been a decent souls-like game. I can see they were trying to mix things up a bit in the genre, taking elements from Dragon's Dogma and Shadow of the Colossus with the climbing mechanic. But with the amount of bugs and the absence of any originality, pretty much nets you an overall, average $20-sale-in-the-bargain bin game.
Damn...I was really hopin to see Asmon say like oh shiiiit this game is dope but damn looks like it was dope looking but playing it is a completely different case....the trailers and gameplay vids looked interesting but yeah a team of 3 developers didn't get my hopes up too insanely high
Good god this is worse than a discount Dark Souls. The quality of this game is abysmal. A small dev team is no excuse if you look at Mortal Shell which is a really good souls like.
I never really expect much out of "souls-like". No one makes them quite like FromSoft does. Not saying there aren't good souls-likes, it's just that most devs don't quite get the formula down properly.

I rather eat 3 Mcroyal and spend another 10 hours in Elden Ring. I thought about this multiple times, there is just no reason to buy these indie games, its not an achievement if you complete them... You never play them again. Its a waste of time. Really the only good in it is that it has a reasonable price tag.
@@lordcarl3094 The game is fun with fluid movement and some good bosses. It is a mixture of Sekiro and Bloodborne but on indie level. Also stealing enemy's abilities to use for yourself is a dope idea.
@@MIOrko Now that you mentioned it, yes i remember the ability steal. I think one of the first games that had a similar mechanic was Final Fantasy, it was interesting to see that in a different type of game. You can definitely add that to the positives with the price and i'll give you the benefit of the doubt about fluid movement.
fromsoft should sue these guys for stealing their animations and assets
I don't care what anyone says, considering this was made by three dudes, it's amazing and much better than what most big teams are putting out in the triple A community lately. 3 dudes, many bugs, ok, expected. A team of hundreds putting out an unfinished game with day one patches and sometimes a year later still a mess, there's no excuse to justify it.
refunded the game after only 30 minutes, I couldnt stand how bad the controls felt, and how janky the movement was. It made even the first encounters an absolute pain to engage in.
Linus cameo was gold.
Elden ring - "Hey that's mine!"
Bleak faith - "Ahh didn't realize mate. Bought it from the pawn shop"
This isnt even bargain bin Elden Ring, this is bargain bin Demon Souls 🤣
I mean its clearly inspired by DS1 and Blame!. I don't think anyone ever compared it to Elden Ring except for the people new to the Souls games and had DS3 or Elden Ring as their first souls game.
@Dio-xo9rv Hahahahaha!
Thats a good one 😂
@Dio-xo9rv Not even reading all of that, stay mad lmao.
@Dio-xo9rv I didn't tho, keep liking your own comments btw.
Your insecurity is hilarious to me 😂
@Dio-xo9rv Anyone who calls his own points "valid" regarding which video game is the best isnt worth arguing with.
If I want to talk to a wall then there are plenty in my house to do that with, I dont need you for that.
Have fun seething that you're not getting what you want "mutt" 😉
why in the world would they release an unfinished and copied from elden ring game???
That's a lawsuit right?
It seems that the preview version was better.
Then they added some stuff and fxxx it up.
Let s pray for a quick and good patch.
World is nice to explore.
Its been updated dude. Might want to change your caption on your video. Its not that bad anymore.
how much better is it now? saw this game on PS5 and am thinking about getting it when it comes out
So this is what Dark Souls look like if the Cyberpunk team made it.
Fitting name for the game at least
i can clearly see where the inspiration comes from. the whole game is just like spin-off of that one location from death's gambit "garde tum". the setting, the enemies, the location its pretty similar and actually i like the idea, garde tum is one of my favorite from all the souls-like games. its very unique and original, but execution didn't seem flawless, at least they tried.
2:50 60% of elden ring bosses be like:
Elden ring with only 1 giant boss:
@@izawa9211 ehhhh
Stondigger troll, gargoyle, golem, fire giant. That's definitely more than 1
shame because the world design is impressive. we're gonna need 300 patches lol
Game is good now. This video was uploaded when game was released
wasnt bleak faith made my by 3 guys ?
Made by 3 people. I bought this game just out of respect for the creators.
All these people defending the game with “ItS mAdE bY 3 pEoPlE.” As if it takes more than 1 person to see this is dog shit.
And they charged a premium for it.
If they weren't so desperate to straight-up copyright Elden Ring, this would've been a decent souls-like game. I can see they were trying to mix things up a bit in the genre, taking elements from Dragon's Dogma and Shadow of the Colossus with the climbing mechanic. But with the amount of bugs and the absence of any originality, pretty much nets you an overall, average $20-sale-in-the-bargain bin game.
As Josh Strife Hayes would say "If Elden Ring was made on Wish"
That flashing had me dead
Man I almost picked this game up yesterday. Glad I waited cause I would have been pissed.
2:04 Fast forwarding and it still takes that long to die, impressive!
Damn...I was really hopin to see Asmon say like oh shiiiit this game is dope but damn looks like it was dope looking but playing it is a completely different case....the trailers and gameplay vids looked interesting but yeah a team of 3 developers didn't get my hopes up too insanely high
Use your eyes instead if relying on someone to hype you up lol, the fuck?
So scuffed that if this game had their own Vaati lore channel, the narrator would be speaking in a thick chinese accent.
This looks like if you have Elden Ring...but take everything good out of it
Sooo.... Its Elden Ring..... From Amazon...
Also, 1:22 Thats a tactical flash bang bro, imagine playing this without the lights on and do this move
playing deepwoken would be a better time investment than playing this crap
If it's your passion project how you can release it in such state?
That's just a scam
Good god this is worse than a discount Dark Souls. The quality of this game is abysmal. A small dev team is no excuse if you look at Mortal Shell which is a really good souls like.
I never really expect much out of "souls-like". No one makes them quite like FromSoft does. Not saying there aren't good souls-likes, it's just that most devs don't quite get the formula down properly.
