@@LP-mh6ri Thanks man! Yeah they did a killer job with the animations & presentation of bosses in this game…plus boss variety is top notch! Have fun, appreciate the comment ✌️
Nice, I've had this in my wishlist on steam and was on the fence about getting it but after hearing some of the points made I think I'm going to get it, so thanks!
Great review! I've seen a lot of people talking about Golden Axe and Rastan, which is fair considering the presentation, but I'm a big Castlevania fan and this games checks all the boxes! If you like Castlevania IV or Dracula X you'll probably like this one a lot. I did a bunch of music for the game by the way 😅, so thanks for the shoutout to the sountrack.
Thanks! The soundtrack is absolutely amazing, definitely takes the game to another level. Appreciate you checking out the review, have an awesome weekend! 🙌
This game looks pretty sick, I'm gonna pick this one up and play it couch co-op with my kids. Nice review though. I've never seen your channel. If I could offer any feedback it'd be working on your VO delivery and avoid sounding bored by your own script. It was a good script and not boring at all. I think the trick is to make it sound like you're coming up with it off-the-cuff, trying to fool the audience into thinking it's your stream of consciousness, even though nobody structures their thoughts like that. Jokes might help. Your brother choosing the girl boss and riding a pink dolphin was ripe with that opportunity. But hey, you do you. I think your channel has a ton of promise and I'm happy to keep an eye out for new stuff.
@@zachb8012 Thank you for the constructive criticism man! Really appreciate your comment & feedback, I’m hoping the more reps/videos I put out the better and more fluid I can become. Definitely give this game a try, and have an awesome weekend! ✌️
Don’t get discouraged by the Mortym comparisons. You’re gonna get a lot of them if you keep up this format but there are more than enough games for everyone and even if you cover the same things, it’s still YOUR impressions. I don’t know the man but, I think Mortismal will be glad to see someone else tackling 100%. Good luck with your channel, I look forward to more reviews. P.S. Well, damn! I shoulda checked out your channel before commenting. You got a whole slew of 100’s. Keep at it, man.
Thank you for this comment bro! I really appreciate it. I've been 100%ing games for forever....I started writing reviews a while back and then decided to start doing video reviews earlier this year. I'm a huge fan of Mortym, been subbed for years and have him added on Steam! I'd like to think he would be glad to see someone hold that high review standard when covering all types of games. Everyone has different tastes and I just enjoy reviewing games that are fun for me to play! Hopefully as time goes on, more people will see the way we do. Thanks again, have a great week man & I look forward to reading another comment in the future ✌
I hadn't heard of this game until I happened upon this video. I'm totally sold on the idea, and now I need to get it lol. Awesome concept, fun looking gameplay, great pixel artwork. Just what I need!
@@Vic_VP that's super awesome! Congrats on that killer Street Fighter arcade 1up find...I'm looking to try and mod one sometime soon as well so I'll be checking out more of your vids for sure bro 🤙
Gimmick? hahaha there's a very well known YTer who has been doing this for many years. This format felt like a rip off or homage of that channel (I am not complaining or meaning that as a bad thing..just sayin)
@@NewYears1978 No offense taken man! Can’t anyone Review After 100%? I think the more people who review only after completing everything in the game the better. I give my own thoughts, ideas, gameplay etc. so I know I’m not ripping off Mortym. Stick around, maybe I’ll cover a game you’re interested in down the line.
I have really been enjoying this game on easy mode. It would be great if they released dlc costumes down the line. Would love it if Crantor had black and white war paint like Conan the Barbarian.
@@remmy1219 We had a blast on our first easy mode playthrough as well! And that’s a great idea, costume dlc for the characters would be really cool & I’d definitely pick them up 👌
Bro it's crazy you just commented that, I literally just found out that Volgarr II is releasing in like 2 days....might have to give it a go if I can find the time ✌ thanks for your comment!
Yeah he uses a mechanic where he can absorb enemies' souls to make his attacks stronger...once you use that ability he is supposed to be the strongest character in terms of power! You get that bar below your health to show how long before you need to use his ability again to power up. You kind of have to weigh the pros vs. cons because he is a little bit slow with no ranged attack. Thanks for the comment!
It really sucks the game doesn't carry over purchased items, beside that everything is fine for me, including dying four times in a row because of a stupid bird by the waterfalls 😅
Dude that bird is deadly...and I totally feel ya on the purchasable items. Took me by surprise the first time I backed out and all my stuff was gone. 😂
Its normal for you guys too to reach yhe 5-5 scenario them you have to turn off the game and then when you return you have to make all te chapter 5 again from 5-1? i guess my version its corrupted.
That's normal for you to lose progress back to the 5-1 stage, it works the same for all 10 stages...I must've misspoke in the video saying you lose all your abilities you bought since the beginning but not progress, I meant for it to mean you don't have to restart the entire game over like your abilities do....if that makes sense! You're game isn't corrupted, they just encourage people to play the game in stage sections. 5-5 is the boss, so one more stage and you'd be good to go. Hope this helps! Thanks for the comment.
@@1ozcaffeine After completing a main stage, you just back out to main menu…your abilities will be reset, but you’ll get a leveled amount of currency to spend when you come back. Only back out after starting a main stage to avoid losing any progress, hope that makes sense!
Can't anyone Review After 100%? As long as you put your own thoughts, opinions, & gameplay together it's not stealing...applying that same high standard to reviews is a good thing in my opinion.
Golden Axe is awesome! Personally, I don't think it's a blatant ripoff, but Abathor definitely took inspo from games like Golden Axe & Rastan which is sick. Give it a go, it's a ton of fun!
Main character is Rastan...look that game up, kids. Same model, every inch of his animation...that's Rastan. I'm gonna download this game just to see how it is though
I wish we could attack downward like Rastan though! It would be sick if they added an actual Rastan skin in dlc so we could have the red shoes, green headband, and green cuffs 🙌 you won't be disappointed with it man, gameplay is awesome. Appreciate your comment, have a killer weekend!
@@TwigmasterGaming I just downloaded the game on my PC about an hour ago. haven't tested it yet, but just from the look of the game, I'm looking forward to it. And I am EXTREMELY hard to please when it comes to PC games since everything comes out broken now and everybody seems to be doing the same thing over and over.
@@TwigmasterGaming Okay....so here's my update and final verdict...well, sorta... I only played the first stage and only with "Rastan". From what I've collected thus far, the game takes a bit too long to get to the point. Just constant walking, walking, walking and chopping, but no true feeling that I have a goal at the end of the stage, because it goes on a just a tad bit too long and then just ends. I haven't seen any bosses yet, because it's just been the first stage. The controls are nice and simple, just the way I like it. I don't see anything YET to complain about. It looks like this could be a cool game. Only thing is, if this is how all of the stages are, then I really don't see any replay value. But in all, not a bad game. Pretty cool concept actually.
Love the review bro!! Completely loved this game
@@buddyeplays Glad we picked this one up to play! We killed that Bravery playthrough.

Awsome and difficult game!
I play on arcade sticks and have done a few streams! I'm on world 7 currently 🤘
Dude that's sick! How does the arcade sticks feel?!
@TwigmasterGaming very fun but challenging! The devs even commented on a stream giving me tiks as the 5th world boss was kicking my ass!
@@Vic_VP that's super awesome! Congrats on that killer Street Fighter arcade 1up find...I'm looking to try and mod one sometime soon as well so I'll be checking out more of your vids for sure bro 🤙

Looks fun, especially in co-op.

Looks like a modern version of Rastan or Barbarian. Cool.
The devs said they took inspo from Rastan, Golden Axe, and other 80s titles! It plays very good 👍thanks for your comment & have a great weekend!
@@TwigmasterGaming I will try to pick it up at some point. Looks like my kind of game.
There'll be a biggish patch around September. :)
A big patch is out! Many QoL and balance changes and some new features included.
I have really been enjoying this game on easy mode. It would be great if they released dlc costumes down the line. Would love it if Crantor had black and white war paint like Conan the Barbarian.

Mortismal fan I see
@@justindibe8543 subbed for 2 years!
Reminds me of the old Golden Axe arcade game from the 80's.
The devs said that Rastan and Golden Axe, among other 80s titles were inspiration to Abathor! It feels really good.
Main character is Rastan....loved Rastan at the arcade when I was a kid
dude how sick would it be if they brought Rastan to Steam....I believe it's already on the Switch and PS store, hopefully only a matter of time 🔥
13:45 is that so? You should try VOLGARR then. It has the same sega genesis vibe to it and similar themes as Abathor.
Bro it's crazy you just commented that, I literally just found out that Volgarr II is releasing in like 2 days....might have to give it a go if I can find the time ✌ thanks for your comment!
What does Azaes' ability do exactly? I've been playing as him and all i can figure out is you use it once and stay powered up?
Yeah he uses a mechanic where he can absorb enemies' souls to make his attacks stronger...once you use that ability he is supposed to be the strongest character in terms of power! You get that bar below your health to show how long before you need to use his ability again to power up. You kind of have to weigh the pros vs. cons because he is a little bit slow with no ranged attack. Thanks for the comment!
His homing subweapon makes up for any lack of range otherwise.
Noob question. How to use consumables (e.g. spear) in game? I forgot how to do it.
Can you change difficulty mid game?
Good video, subbed!
Thanks man! And no, once you start with a certain mode you're stuck with it on that save file I believe.
@@TwigmasterGaming thanks man!
Which is better the PS5 version or the Nintendo Switch version?
I haven't played it on either of those! I played on Steam but I've heard people say it was good on both of those systems 👍 whichever you prefer!
@@TwigmasterGaming appreciate it! So far I played it on Nintendo switch, not bad! I might try it on PS5 if I get into it more on the Switch.
Looks like a new version of Rastan.
The devs said that Rastan was definitely inspiration and it shows! It feels really good...I'm craving more of these titles.
The barbarian looks exactly like Rastan
For Playstation are the trophies shared on co-op play or is it only for the main account
Probably only on the main PSN account because there is only couch co-op! There isn't online co-op in the game yet bro!
Why are more indie retro gamers each time? well, because games like this
It really sucks the game doesn't carry over purchased items, beside that everything is fine for me, including dying four times in a row because of a stupid bird by the waterfalls 😅

Looks like a blatent ripoff of the old game called Golden Axe. The graphics looks about the same as when I had it on the Sega Genesis as well.
Golden Axe is awesome! Personally, I don't think it's a blatant ripoff, but Abathor definitely took inspo from games like Golden Axe & Rastan which is sick. Give it a go, it's a ton of fun!
It plays and looks nothing like Golden Axe.
