- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
Seems like the direct had a typo lol. Will wait for impressions. I suck at souls-like games but somehow this got my interest haha
Yeah, I'll be really disappointed if this isn't 60 FPS handheld given that it's a 2D pixel game.
I'm also pretty sure the game isn't using Unreal, which is where devs have struggled getting performant on the switch like Bloodstained.

So many damn games I want all coming out at the same time, I could really have done with either this or The Surge 2 coming out a month early.
Ah well, it is what it is, glad they got it finished, looking forward to it.

Ah yeah, I remember there being a reason I never bother to try to create threads. While you're putting your shit together someone else has already been working on theirs anyway haha.
Shut it down folks!
Coming over here to say how fucking hyped I am for this since my own thread was LTTP.
Game looks amazing, I REALLY hope they don't shit the bed like Death's Gambit.

One of the highlights of a super-packed showcase. Have been champing at the bit for this one since it was announced.

Patched Death's Gambit is actually pretty good I'd say. It's only going to get better with the DLC
I only played it around when it came out at my friend's place who kind of ranted to me that it sucked. I'd be willing to give it another shot on deep sale and patched etc. at a later time. What I played felt truly terrible to me unfortunately. Was really hyped for that game too.
Yessss. Finally. I've been waiting so long for this. I was afraid it was going to turn into another Eitr situation. Very glad to see it coming so soon!
As others have said, I really hope the Switch version is up to snuff.

Nope, the devs stream themselves playing and creating it from time to time though.
There seems to be a lot of imagery adopted from Catholicism(?) and the theme of the narrative is probably about religious order vs rebellion in some way.
Death's Gambit is good right now. I played it after it had been patched up several times. They've got a *huge* update in the works that'll make the game even better, and in addition to the stuff being added described in the link below, they're also adding in a parry system inspired by Sekiro:
Blasphemous looks really good. It looks like the game I wanted Dark Devotion (which is still good) to be.
Guess I'll probably have to wait until release to know for sure
Oh I didn't realize there were betas etc.
Movement and combat felt good when you tried it out? Would love some impressions if you don't mind.
I'm trying not to be too down about the positive comments regarding Death's Gambit but man, that would have to be a serious 180 for me to consider that game good. It does sound like they put a lot of work into it post-release though so I'm sure it's greatly improved.

Right? It's a giant metal dunce cap.
Just wait till the scene where he fills it with blood and puts it on his head, and grimaces edgily at the camera.
Everything about the game is created around that. Your character go to his own hell, and been that I believe the character had something to do with the church is trying to get absolved. Your powers are called miracles the sword name is chatolic etc.
The combat is really good, think hollow knight levels of tightness and responsiveness, or better. They created the world around the penitent so every movement and jump and dodge feel organic natural fluid, the character too feels super fluid and traversal feels good.
Yea but that's not really what blasphemy is, I don't have any problem with what you described
To my understanding, the story is super vague. The penitent is trying to ascend to saint hood via some questionable means.
Yep. Couldn't believe my self how smooth the character felt.
Yes this game is more methodical you get punished for trying to breeze through enemies.
It's based on Spain's Holy Week imagery. I'm sure a lot of people here would consider it pretty blasphemous š
