    Hey, video games! Dark Souls Clones are done? What are some cool DS Clones I missed?
    Also, to the guys who ask me about the Sonic Adventure Clone video.
    It's coming, I promise.

They were using experimental chemicals to attempt to fix the damage to the environment, found out that the missiles were a short term solution with some real bad long term effects, and then switched to using nanotech to solve the problem, but that lead to even worse problems(and is the reason why the robots have gone rogue and there be cyberzombies running around).

      Yeah. Especially when your weapon hit a wall on the PC version. It took away like 4× the weapon durability. It made it so basically any weapon with a wide swing was unviable for PvE.

    • @alastor8091
      @alastor8091 5 лет назад +3

      You literally can and it works just fine. Saying something is the "Dark Souls" of its genre just tells how difficult it is in comparison to other games within the same genre. Compared to God of War or Castlevania Lord of Shadows, Devil May Cry 3 is much harder and could therefore be called the Dark Souls of hack and slash games. Compared to easier games to jump into like Call of Duty or Battlefield, Rainbow 6 is the Dark Souls of multiplayer shooters.

      My first exposure to it was when a friend of mine was streaming it and asked if I wanted to join in. It wasn't playable online, which we found out the hard way, however... there is a program that can be downloaded to make couch multiplayer games be played online. It basically makes the game THINK that there are multiple people playing via the same software/hardware. I found out that way just how fun the game was and decided to buy it for myself and beat the entire thing in about a week.

      Ever heard of Void Memory? Probably not, because it's not good, but when it comes to 2D games, you really can't get any more blatant rip-off than that.
      When it comes to 2D games, there's also Death's Gambit, which had the highest production values of all 2D DS-likes, but over-exerted itself and is terribly uneven as a result. There's Dark Devotion, which is also close, and would have been great if it didn't arbirtrarily limit exploration. There was a weird top-down game called DarkMaus, where, as you can guess from the name, everyone is a mouse. There's yet-to-be-released Blasphemous, and last year's black-and-white Unworthy: I mention them together because they essentially have exactly the same story.
      There are also two 2D games which are more like Bloodborne clones: Shrouded in Sanity, which is top-down and free, and Gloom, which is sideview, black-and-white, a roguelike inspired by TBOI, yet arguably has a more detailed story than some of the actual Souls games.

      * DarkMaus (2016; top-down, everyone is a mouse, don't know much else about it)
      * Shrouded in Sanity (2016; has a free version, top-down, more Bloodborne-style with revolvers and Lovecraft influences, has two sequels that shifted genre);
      * Void Memory (2016; sideview, possibly RPGMaker, really blatant clone and mostly bad besides a few cool boss fights)
      * Gloom (2017; sideview, roguelike, black-and-white, great OST, poor animations/AI, but possibly has the best story out of all these games and the coolest final boss)
      * Unworthy (2018; sideview, black-and-white, may have the best enemies and Metroidvania progression, but also the most minimal story and the worst final boss)
      * Death's Gambit (2018; Adult Swim, so has full voice acting and generally high production values, but can be unbalanced in gameply and very uneven in story)
      * Dark Devotion (2019; third-largest after DG and S & S with ~20 bosses, but has balance issues and is lacking in exploration)
      * Blasphemous (coming out this year, has the same premise as Unworthy, looks more colorful but seems to have worse gameplay to my eyes)
      EDIT: I forgot that there also was DarkMaus in 2016. It was top-down, and I don't think it was very good once you get past the novelty of its concept, but, yeah.

      @@azurebookllet9216 I've cleared SnS, DarkMaus, and Unworthy.
      DarkMaus is similar to Unworthy in that it's a more arcade-y "2D souls" than SnS, with relatively short campaign. Although IMO DarkMaus has slightly better progression system. It has stat allocation, variety of weapons, and has spells, so you can have builds unlike in Unworthy. Where Unworthy excels in platforming puzzle, DarkMaus excels in enemy placement. The mouse can't see behind walls, so late in game you must always be on your toes for enemy ambush and traps. Unlike in Unworthy where you are expected to dodge every danger, DarkMaus expects you to use your stamina to block, dodge, and position yourself smartly (like in the 3D soulsborne games) because you can easily be swarmed by enemies and traps.
      Unworthy has better variety of art asset though. More background variety, better storytelling, and unique music for every boss.

    • @azurebookllet9216
      @azurebookllet9216 5 лет назад +1

      @@ksm_ngr Thanks for that explatation!
      Just saw some videos of DarkMaus, and it certainly looks cool for what it is (and better than the other top-down game I mentioned, Shrouded in Sanity), even if the overall art variety is more limited that Unworthy's. They both have different strengths due to their pesrpectives: Unworthy can do multiple backgrounds and foregrounds, which looks really cool and reminded me of how Darkest Dungeon did it at times, while DarkMaus has its dynamic lightning and shadows.
      Unworthy has better boss music as you mentioned, and a couple of its bosses are straight-up superior: Gaston the archer is one of the coolest bosses in all Souls-style games, imo, Dancer's hallucinogenic distortion is really creepy, and Dominic is also really strong with his two themes and transformation (it's a bit of a generic idea, but is still cool.) DarkMaus could have made its twin boss fight into their equivalent to O & S, but it missed that opportunity.
      However, it is cool that all its bosses have stamina bars and so fighting them is more of a duel, so I say they are still matched well enough with the Unworthy's bosses outside of the three I mentioned. Fighting normal enemies seems more a duel too because of their stamina bars, while Unworthy's enemies are more about pulling off cool special moves to even the playing field (that laser blast from the cage-headed enemies.)
      In all, both seem pretty good, though both could have had that final push to make them great.
