*A few major points that most people in the comments section have missed are:*
*Isometric isn't an umbrella term for top down. Isometric graphics/games are when the game is 2 dimensional, and the camera is viewing from a top angle to make the 2D textures and objects APPEAR as 3D by exposing a 3rd dimension surface. Ie: LxWxD. However, the objects are still truly 2D. This game is 100% 3D.*
*Discounting games like this from the Diablo-like category because of JUST the combat style, or because of JUST the enemy designs, is absolutely ludicrous.*
*Most top down games are HEAVILY inspired by Diablo 1. But not just top down. Games like Borderlands were also heavily inspired by Diablo. Diablo paved the way for everyone in the mid-90s. If people don't like that, you can't handle that, then make peace with it because these are solid facts.*
I like how the only bodytype is "abomination"
😂😂😂
But the thighs on the female model though…
Yeah, well, i usualy always play female characters but i guess this time gonna be an exception.@@TacoEX1
I guess the thought process is, "this doesn't look as weird when the game is isometric and zoomed out and still allows distinct and easy to read animation"
Then the character creation screen just breaks the illusion.
Definitely going to play a muscle mommy character in this one. Apposed to Sir Skips-leg-day
the animations of the game sets it apart from the others, it feels very organic and flowing
Like ori of the whisp
I honestly couldn't agree less, this game feels clunky as fuck LMAO
i fucking love that, thx for observing
This was completely off my radar...and now I'm super stoked for it. A wonderful culmination of genres and mechanics, all wrapped up with a unique and beautiful, dark, phosphorescent art style that promises not to disappoint. I hope the storytelling and writing can hold up to the rest of it, and that your assertions regarding skill tree / build expansion probably being tucked away for later in the game are correct. Thanks for shining a light on it!
I'm glad this game is getting a lot more coverage and going on people's radars. The instant I saw it at the first showing, I knew it was a game that deserved some recognition. Especially it being by Moon Studios. The art and sound direction of their games are incredible!
So much better than a standard Arpg combat system hallelujah im playing the shit out of this.
Are you guys going to play it as soon as it comes out? Because when I look at the roadmap it looks there is some pretty big things coming later so I don't know if i should wait until it's fully finished or play it as soon as it's available on early access
It's not an ARPG, but an Action, RPG.
Lol no...
Same I could never really get into stuff like Diablo. I played the beta for D4 and while I didn’t dislike the general feel of combat it just felt weird having a timer on a dodge. This is everything I want. It’s literally just an isometric souls game with Diablo loot. Honestly the only thing that I’m not a huge fan of is the randomized loot. I like the idea of it in some parts but if you want to gun for a specific build then it kind of dampens NG+ runs. Hopefully that’s gets tweaked. Outside of that everything else is perfect!
Completely the opposite for me. Souls like combat puts me off completely. Sad because I was very interested.
5 minutes into the video and these animations honestly might be some of the best i've seen in a game wtf, i wanna buy it based off that alone
This game is literally just if Dark Souls and Diablo had a kid but the kid was raised by Dark Souls instead
Agreed
The fact that game has backstab is so good
Looks more like Dark Souls and Fable to me. Diablo might want a paternity test
Nothing like diablo. Diablo has no combat. Spam fest point click ability cooldown wipe mob, repeat. This has ZERO DIABLO. No mana, no potion cooldowns, no ability cooldowns, no spam, no point and click no procedural generation lol. Diablo is a mob dungeon crawler. Where is that here? This is a 3rd person action game......done isometric. Entirely handcrafted world, open world, climbing, cooking, swimming. No motion capture, entirely animation based, combat is fighting game combat. Input strings to pull off moves. No mana, special moves with focus use, no cooldown. No 100 abilities. It's a souls like isometric action rpg. Zero dungeon crawling. Zero mobs. Zero point and click
... And Dark Souls let the kid play a bit of Animal Crossing
With FF7 Rebirth, this, Unicorn Overlord, Dragon's Dogma 2, the Elden Ring DLC, and others on the horizon (PoE2 comes to mind) it is an amazing time to be an RPG fan. RPGs and fighting games are putting the industry on their back.
I kinda agree with your game selection, except for Unicorn Overlord isn't that more of an RTS or am I missing something?
@@laizerwoolf I don't think it is an RTS, I think it is more of an SRPG. Everything Vanilla Ware releases has some RPG element.
It's defiantly a good year for gamers alike
This might sound blasphemous to some, but I think I'm going to end up liking 2024 more than 2023. If Silksong comes out this year, then it's sealed.
Right! This is one of the best years for my gaming taste. Don't also forget Eiyuden Chronicles, Metaphor, and DecaPolice. Also, Wukong Black Myth is not an RPG but is another Souls like like Elden Ring.
I'm also massively enjoying Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Unicorn Overlord Demo right now.
They also mentioned that when you do eventually go back to areas, enemies will be back, but different. Which is really interesting.
It's not that interesting. You pick zone_A and place mob type on a rng or a set numerical value. Like I swear gamers are becoming more stupid or something. It's not that impressive raise your standards
@@zonedout3390 Still better than having the same enemies respawn on the same place every time. I don't know why they don't do this more
It is xdd. Very interesting
The art style gives me Dishonored/Disco Elysium vibes. Very cool.
Was looking to see if anyone made the Dishonored connection... we need WAY MORE stylized games.
They're so much more timeless and memorable than photorealistic graphics. Dishonored games will always look gorgeous, as well as Ori, Journey, The Pathless, etc
There will definitely be incredible music. Both Ori games have glorious soundtracks.
We hope
This looks awesome. The gameplay kinda reminds me of Deaths Door and Tunic
Im hoping the combat has more depth than those games. (Tho still very fun)
will it run fine at 4k on RTX 2080? Or will I likely need to bump the res down?
Not a big deal; looks like a fun game.
To look at it reminds me a lot of Kingdoms of Amalur with the random loot and stuff.
Good comparison!!
Such a great game that I never see talked about, thank you for bringing it up!! 🦾
@@jasonmendoza2044 Underrated gem that was ahead of its time.
I LOVE amalur and its combat but I wish I enjoyed really wish I liked soulslike combat more Coz I'd just at this game
Great video, I didn't even have this game on my radar and i'll prob grab 3 copies to play with my husband and son. I am curious if resources are finite for crafting, particularly potion materials.
Can't wait. I do have Rise of the Ronin up first though. Team ninja rocks!
So pumped for this. I find myself wishing more devs would push to evolve the whole point and click isometric arpg genre.
Same! There is so much you can do with it. I really like the isometric perspective.
It's wasd too
Will definitely be keeping an eye on this one and will look forward to more coverage on it from you!
I love it that it has an actual artstyle instead of trying to be as realistic as possible!
Exactly! This obsession with the realism gets old. Variety of styles is what makes them enticing.
I love your channel so much… basically if it’s on your channel I’m interested!!
Hey out there. I just wanted to stop and really thank you for your great work and time you invest. You are one of the few creators I actually enjoy watching AND get infos on games which might interest me. Looking forward for this one. Cheers
Quick question I haven't heard answered as of yet... Can you switch from 1 hand to 2 hand your weapons???? Or are the weapons themselves single or dual hand
The weapons are single or two handed. So for example you cannot one hand a staff
Just started diablo 4 after burn out with souls games. This looks like the perfect combo of both.
I agree but I just started diablo 4 as well and ff7r and now this game gets announced and then soon its elden ring dlc and stellar blade. so many games
@michaelschneider1365 I'm skipping FF. Rise of the Ronin for me next then this. I'll probably put 200 hrs into rise based on nioh and nioh 2, Fallen dynasty was lame.
I'm keeping elden ring dlc for later. I want to replay ER from NG+
@@pastormosesmaloney1604 I have no interest in rise of ronin. it looks not as good as ghost of tsushima
@michaelschneider1365 if you played nioh and nioh2 you would be excited. First game I ever pre-ordered
@michaelschneider1365 ghost was great but ronin will be ghost on coke!
Thanks for the video, didn't hear about this game before. Seems interesting! Placed it on the wishlist and keep my eyes out for reviews.
So I have seen that it will release on consoles sometimes after early release, but does anyone actually know a date or even a month ?
How Is this a souls like? Thanks. Is it difficulty or just the dodge, parry etc?
Great preview. And you can be sure the game will feature a rich, moving soundtrack once we ship!
if we play now , will it reset stats when multiplayer server comes in ?
Really like the art work and coloring style of this game. Might have to pick this up.
Watched the presentation, really looks good the town and buying a home seems cool. looking forward to playing it myself come April 18
I feel that this game was made just for me.... It checks every box for game mechanics I really appreciate in video games
I hope there are settings for that camera movement. Reeks of motion sickness in sensitive individuals from a mile off.
Looks awesome! Will for sure keep my eys on this one!
Will this come out for Consoles (PS5) or will it be PC & X-Box only?
So excited, been waiting for a style that's done this way. Thumbs up.
Id recommend Sands of Aura if you want something similar :) im loving that title a lot
Finally someone mentioned tje game called ACHILLIES Legends untold. Everyone seems to forgot that game, which was a quite good game 👍 I am hoping this one will be much better and long lived...
Dragons Dogma 2 March 22nd and then this!!! Couldn’t be happier about the next few months of games. Until then it’s Last Epoch and FF7:Rebirth!
Not sure what platform you're playing on but is this keyboard driven? (WASD)
I've been waiting and dreamt of a game like this for years. An action RPG that's skills based like Dark Souls, and has the exploration of a Metroidvania, plus sweet sweet loot. It's the true next evolution in action RPGs.
It's no longer just mouse click, click, click, basically "playing" on auto pilot, waiting for the next loot drop to make the little green arrow slightly go up .1 percent. While trying to avoid an epileptic seasure as thousands of brightly lit numbers are spamming from dozens of enemies all exploding on screen at the same time in colored number vomit. As has sadly been the case with most action RPGs over the last decade.
This game is going to change the action RPG genre and I love it. The exploration alone is incredible, add to that the skill based combat and the fact it's just changing the genre for the better and I think it's something special. All other action RPG games and companies need to take notes. This is how you evolve the genre.
I love isometric ARPGs, but lately ive been really wanting to see some more engaging combat more akin to Souls style. Less enemies, more elaborate movesets, ect. Ideally, it would combine the buildcraft, skills, gear, and flexibility of traditional ARPGs with less brainless combat. This doesnt look like exactly what i want, but close enough for me to give it a go
I wish you can choose your weapon. I love to play as mage but I dislike sword and I have to stuck with that for how long?
Thanks for the preview!
instant wishlist for me, thank you for the video
I really enjoyed Sands of Aura and this looks similar in playstyle with some rougelite elements tacked on. Ori games are superb so hoping this one has great story as well.
Pretty excited for this, amongst others stated it also gives me some Fable vibes.
The environment design and combat mechanics look hands-down fantastic. I’m a bit wary on controller/WASD mechanics though. Your Character proportions seem a little odd, too, but I understand it’s part of the stylization. But overall, everything I’ve seen looks awesome. If I have any immediate worries it’s: the world/gameplay might be too small, and the combat mechanics might get stuck between Souls and Diablo, not knowing what it really wants to be. But this might be the FIRST early access game I try!
love the art style, the animation, the hidden areas, etc. can't wait to check it out!
Is there dedicated ranged combat?
Did the game have a difficulty option? how are saves handled?
Yes and no.
Looks like it could be a fun game! Would be awesome if it had some sort of Martial Arts weaponry. Fist weapons, battle staves, etc. Would be pretty sweet!
There is only 3 bosses in the game so far from the actual early acces, i was stunned to find out how much i can do but so little bosses to fight, but those 3 bosses were amazing to fight, took me roughly 10 hours to complete and i didnt rush at all, i did all side quests and i explored a fair bit
Dark Souls on paper looks like perfect game for me. Heavy, meaty combat, not too many enemies, rich combat system. But I hardly played any of them because of this stupid 'drop xp on death and kill everyone again cause they respawned' mechanic.
This game doesn't have it, looks beautiful, has small and yet rich locations and is isometric. Its insta buy for me when it releases.
Yep, buying this game in 9 hours when it comes out. Looks completely different than any other game out and that's an instant buy for me. The fact it looks really good is just a bonus. Thanks for this preview. :D
Was skeptical, but highly considering this now that they have character customization
You were skeptical until you saw the weakest feature in the game?
Do you have an affiliate link?
Looks good. Thanks for the video.
This is like an upgraded version of Achilles Legend Untold. All the moveset is smooth..
1:00 did you make Anthony Jeselnik?
I HOPE TO the gaming gods above Moon studios uses the same composer for their score that they did with the Ori franchise!
Gareth Choker worked on Prince of Persia The Lost Crown which came out earlier this year.
I think I heard another comment say it was a different composer. I LOVE the Ori soundtrack.
This art style and feel have a certain draw I haven't felt in a while. Likely an early access/day one purchase for me.
This game looks incredible. Two of my favorite sub genres combined into a glorious masterpiece. Wow.
9:20 hey Ludwig 👋
I was not expecting character creation. Even more excited now.
definitly take a look , thx for the first look.. always enjoy your videos
I honestly did not have this game on my radar.....It is now though!
Try Sands of Aura sometime. This game reminds me of that and its equally polished and out now
looks like the perfect game to play on my steamdeck when I have to work out of town...coop with the buddies. gonna be fun.
I wish / hope they add enemies respawn, but think like Zelda how the world resets after its blood moon, every 3 in-game days. Stops that feeling of lack of progress, but also gives you more challenge and fights. I think Zelda did a decent balance of that “souls” respawn and progression
Everything is great, but the combat need a lot of polish. The animations, or the damage of some enemies are just insane. And I mean the 1º area.
Looking at this reminds me of The Ascent - utterly gorgeous, tough-as-nails, isometric aRPG. If the gameplay on No Rest is as good as Neon Giant’s debut title then we’re in for a real treat.
what will the price be?
I really like the unique art style and the genre mix between Diablo and Dark Souls. But sadly I really dislike some design decision regarding gameplay. The "Realm" focus at the beginning makes it seem more like seeds for a roguelike. Especially in combination with non-respawning enemies. But combining finite enemies with random loot seems like such a odd and weird decision. I'd rather play a game like that in a hand-crafted world with fixed loot from chests, but infinite respawning enemies with random loot. I'm also not a huge fan of very strict durability systems (e.g. Dark Souls II in its early days) and the need for crafting basic healing items. =/ All those things were already done so much better in Dark Souls III, Elden Ring etc. Please just copy the systems that are working so well, instead of using worse ones!
The art style is super weird and something different - reminds me of comics. I dig it. This and POE2 now have me itching, though I feel like they'll be much different games in great ways.
Great vid, seems to be a good game. But bro missed the "leg day" hard. Jeez.
Let’s all prepare ourselves for early access launch day(and following weekend) server issues. DO NOT expect everything to be 100% smooth and functional. By far one of the most frustrating things about early access launches. Not the game issues but the childish comments and sometimes threats from the entitled players. Just wanted to mentally prepare a lot of you for this situation.
One of the few Early Acess titles that I will immedietly buy. The only other EA title I will buy is going to be Hades 2.
PS: When it comes to weapon skills I think they may, in the future, add a way to "transplant" the ability of one weapon to the other as long as it's the same type of the weapon. This way it would give us a way of control over our weaponry similar to how you can change weapon arts in games like Elden Ring.
PS 2: I hope they will add background music! I mean it's a Moon Studios. Both visual and audio aspects of Ori where amazing and it's a must for this game to have more music in it.
Interesting. Random loot, but no respawning mobs to farm from…
Adds a bit of a rogue-lite element.
Also that starting area looks like an homage to Path of Exile.
Enemies not respawning is one of the greatest pieces of news out of this. And that’s saying something because everything else sounded great as well!
It turned this into an instant Day 1. I loved everything else about the game but not too big on how punishing and tedious normal souls games can be so this makes it less stressful to die.
@@Drstrange3000 respawning enemies is good if you wanna grind something from them, and especially in an open world setting where you can just get around them (most of the time)
@@sendoh7x Yeah, they can have their place.
The Wicked Inside stream expanded on this a bit, looks like cleared areas will evolve over time, changing a bit and new enemies moving into the space. So they won’t respawn, but the areas will remain dynamically full of content to throw yourself against, grind it you want, etc. I’m super into this. It feels like a really organic way to perhaps do a new game + type experience without having to actually “new game”
Anybody knows if this will run well on the deck?
Hopefully
This could be my 1st computer game. I have a legion 5 slim. Ryzen 7. Rtx 4060. 16 gb ram. 500 gb. hard drive.
Will it run on SteamDeck Oled? That would be fantastic...
Its awesome that the early access is coming next month..cant wait
Art style looks very cool. This is for sure on my radar.
Is there staffs or wands in the game?
I wonder how long it’ll be in early access before it jumps to consoles?
Wait, are you forced to have a gollum body type for your character? I only saw customization options for the face, hairstyle and beard.
sooo, can you trade with your friends or give them items?
Im looking forward to this game looks like a fun arpg.
Looks like my next game for sure! Hopefully it plays well on the deck
Looks so good. I've been wanting a game like this for years.
How could I able to play the game? By invitation?
I was wondering how do you farm levels if enemies don't respawn, then I understood it's not a Diablo-like, it's something different, more like an adventure / action game. The art style is really gorgeous but weirdly enough it repulses me after a long time watching it. I guess I'm the odd player here XD
This game looks interesting. No rest for the wicked meets Diablo/Hades
the mc's character's neck look absolutely crazy
Really interested in this mostly because of challenge and exploration and the darker atmosphere
Hello can we play this beta yet ?
Looking forward to this one.
Thanks for a video on it I've been waiting a while for this to come out I can't wait to play it this one's been on my wish list
Wow this looks super cool, thanks for bringing this game to my attention!
