The Last Spell left early access:
This unironically looks decent. A little overboard on the color, but at least it's different. I think I saw some first person melee in the first video on Steam too? I'm somewhat interested.
It's a dork souls clone if you're interested in those, played it for about an hour. Runs decent.GhostCow wrote: ↑ March 10th, 2023, 04:49This unironically looks decent.

I didn't find the gameplay offensive, I'm just not a fan of dork souls-likes. Controls felt decent, never felt like I was being hit when I shouldn't have or missed a hit when I shouldn't have. Main character moves fast and relies heavily on agility so I guess it's actually more like a Bloodborne-like?wndrbr wrote: ↑ March 10th, 2023, 12:20ACE team can't design a decent gameplay to save their lives, but all their outings are very unique, at least from the visual standpoint. Really like the first Zeno Clash game.
The first Zeno Clash game was good and I liked it a lot. Any game that lets me punch women and furries right in the face can't be all bad, but the second one was awful.wndrbr wrote: ↑ March 10th, 2023, 12:20ACE team can't design a decent gameplay to save their lives, but all their outings are very unique, at least from the visual standpoint.

Apparently the devs have been caught using FROM Software assets (specifically, animations).
Tried the demo, got about 3 minutes in and couldn't progress. Talking to the NPC does nothing.
Appears to be fake news. However, the person selling the asset might have ripped them from Elden Ring, but it wasn't done on purpose by the devs.gerey wrote: ↑ March 12th, 2023, 09:27Apparently the devs have been caught using FROM Software assets (specifically, animations).
Seems to be fixed now. First impressions are: it has a fantastic intro. Don't want to spoil it, but you're thrown right into a diplomatic dispute you need to resolve involving your vassals.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ March 12th, 2023, 09:56Tried the demo, got about 3 minutes in and couldn't progress.

neither of you played the 2nd one? lol.. also I don't know about "ACE team can't design a decent gameplay" the gameplay in ZC1/2 are fine, they are first person brawlers. The gameplay in Deadly Tower of Monsters is normal top-down/isometric shooting, the gameplay in Rock of Ages is normal 'building' and then moving a ball left and right. None of their games have bad gameplay, except maybe SolSeraph, which I haven't played.wndrbr wrote: ↑ March 10th, 2023, 12:20ACE team can't design a decent gameplay to save their lives, but all their outings are very unique, at least from the visual standpoint.

I liked beating the shit out of weird humanoids like in first game but the coop was broken.Tweed wrote: ↑ March 16th, 2023, 12:19I played the second one, but I didn't finish it. It sucks. Poorly designed "open world" areas because people want to explore Zenozoik and the horrible respawn system for when people in your group get knocked out to say nothing of how useless your companions end up being most of the time.
The fighting is better than the first and gets even better as you go but yeah the larger levels and adventure elements really bring the pacing down. The lore is interesting. I wouldn't say it "sucks", it's the definition of mid-tier, but it's not nearly as tight as the first game. The original intention from the start was to make something more like Oblivion than a straight up first-person brawler (I think the hand-to-hand combat was still the focus, but it was meant to be an open world RPG) and ZC2 is a very half-assed attempt at expanding the areas.. Seems Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is trying to do what ZC2 failed at.Tweed wrote: ↑ March 16th, 2023, 12:19I played the second one, but I didn't finish it. It sucks.
