Knight's Path — Low fantasy action RPG

[pol_345polex]

From what I've heard, activists are attacking this game in droves. Sites like Fandom Pulse are reporting on this.

[Hyborian]

Play AI slop because the devs did a right-wing ragebait thing

Shut the **** up, ******.

They have a demo. The demo is receiving negative reviews for reasons unrelated to the game, having Very Positive scores prior.
Perhaps you take a few minutes to download? Perhaps you review?

They should be able to get Valve to hide the reviews once it's settled down.

Some negative reviews said it's a janky, barebone beta with bad controls and animations which seem legit.

I tested the demo and this is true. It's pretty funny how janky it is actually.

[jcd]

See, this game is right wing, therefore, even though it's a ****** AI slop crapfest, you MUST play this and like it, otherwise ******** will win

[Vaako]

I will check it out if ever releases. But after KCD2 it might be a new grifting strategy to look like a decent none woke game and get kickstarter money and then **** off or looking for more investment and then add pozzed **** to the game because the investor demands it. Kickstarter wasnt nearly enough to pay for KCD1 either.

Trailer looked good at first. But then a dragon appeared out of nowhere, and I lost interest.

I don't know the literal definition of "low-fantasy", but the term leaves me with the expectation that dragons are to be extraordinarily rare, if not non-existent. Going from fighting in a jousting arena to well hello there Mr. Dragon was kind of a shock.

Such a negative nancy, this is all very uncalled for.

Demos these days are basically = asking people to do beta test for free, which is, well, beta so nope.

No. Thats what a 1.0 release is nowadays.

Low fantasy means that nobody is using a spell as a default attack. Without a dragon, it is no-fantasy.

[Algol]

Yeah, I am wondering how kicking giant snail *** is low fantasy, but whatever. I still can't wait to see that ****.

[Valter]

You can pet the cat

[jcd]

You can pet the cat

Reddit game confirmed.

[Trickster]

okej they got my wishlist

Based beyond belief. I'm sure a bunch of Reddit/BlueSky ******* and whores will try to attack this game if they haven't already.

[Luckmann]

If you don't like games, that's fine. But the idea that we shouldn't play a game because AI allowed a smaller team to execute their vision is ********.

No. **** all clankers and clank-enablers. Pour water in the datacenters and drown all digijews.

It's explicitly placeholder content, though, and advanced voice-synthesization isn't "le AI".

***** doesn't know about giant snails. Lets all make fun of him.

I left a review to balance out the luddites bombing it.

[Unknown998]

I dont see why Rightists should oppose the spread of AI into the "Art" world. Its some of the most disgusting leftoid latrine in the world....Its good if it gets crushed by AI.

I know about them from the medieval manuscripts as being symbolic of... one of the Sins, of course. That said... not sure it still qualifies as low fantasy.

I somewhat agree with this mainly because the vast majority of mainstream "art" as it is right now has been taken over by ideological leftards who have ferociously gatekept anyone who doesn't agrees with them from joining the mainstream art spheres.

Had the current art scene be different, I may be more opposed to the idea of AI taking over. Similar to how I don't mind if AI leaves the English anime dub voice actors out of a job. Yes, some innocent artists will take the fall, but the vast majority of the ones who will be affected negatively by the rise of AI had it coming to them.

Most artists are leftist because of overwhelming propaganda. I prefer human artists who can be swayed over machines which can be designed from the ground up to exclude certain ideas.

You're trading a temporary problem for a much stickier one. Truths will always bubble out of human creativity eventually (even in spite of the artist) because humans are organisms which are a part of nature, and you can only deny nature for so long before the consequences destroy you. The problem is self-correcting: even the most brainwashed humans die eventually, mostly without reproducing, and their worldview is overturned as its failures become too obvious to cover up. But a machine has no reality check. It will endlessly output whatever boneheaded ideology was programmed into it with until the end of time. I'm not eager to replace the natural system with a machine like that.

So I played through the whole demo and actually quite enjoyed it. Left a positive review on Steam.

The combat is a little janky, but it's not bad. Attacks would sometimes not register or they would be delayed and the heavy attack would sometimes activate on its own, leaving me open to a counterattack, but I was able to dodge and parry reliably outside of that when needed. The power attacks from enemies were annoying though. You have to dodge in a particular direction depending on the attack in order to counter it, but I found it difficult to determine which attack was coming (even with the red flash warning), so I just dodged in any direction and usually avoided getting hit and sometimes getting that strong counter slash. I never lost any of the duels and the final one felt really good after 'getting gud'.

I also really liked the character interactions despite the AI voices (ma bro, Galen). Hope they get proper voice actors for the full game.

I recommend it.

Knight's Path - The Tournament.jpg

There was only one hint of wokeness: one of the tournament challengers was a woman. A tall one at that. Taller than the main character. They made her really humble and not girlbossy, but still, what is a woman doing participating in a knights' martial tournament? None of the NPCs made any comments on it either when, realistically, they would be mocking the idea.

[rusty_shackleford]

I just expected it to be a bunch of combat but yeah it's a surprisingly decent little demo

[Bhaalspawn Jr]

There's neat little secrets you can discover too:

► Show Spoiler

A map of what I assume is the full game's world and a secret armour set located in the guard's tower that you can only get access to if you follow the cat to a hidden opening in a wall and you get the key off of Wiliam the evening before the last duel to open the door to the armour.

[TKVNC]

UE5 is slop. Far worse than AI.

[Valter]

That was fun. Final fight was ****** up but didn't feel cheap.

[Algol]

Can't play it bc integrated graphics. Sad!

No. Thats what a 1.0 release is nowadays.

"1.0" release nowadays is charging people to do QA for them, which used to be a fulltime job 20 years ago. I think QA jobs are still a thing inside AAA studios, but they tend to be ineffective because those jobs are now outsourced to India or wherever that has an average IQ of 80.

This "own da lib" meme has really gone too far and it's time to stop now.
