we're gonna have a flood of turn-based Soulslikes now. thoughts?

chess is the soulslike of turn based games

if they're good then who cares. problem is devs pushing out low effort dogshit and not the genre. Nioh and Lies of P are good.

where have you been for the last 5 years

fromtrannies are brain damaged beyond repair

And that would be bad how?

every game that is third person with a sword is a soulslike

i hate this fucking idiotic fucking board so much its unreal

why are you denying the obvious souls elements?

could've been a proper action game where you dodge, parry in our own

instead you get turn based sloppa with QTE slapped on it

Grim
Where did it all go wrong

It's parry mechanic like. Soulslikes are something like Lords of the Fallen 2 which is at the end of its era.

Must have been too much soul. We need to go back to mediocre rollslop!

i have parryslop fatigue.

First time I've seen a battle. This looks like shit. Nigga parried a wall of fire by spin kicking it.

The story, rpg element, and characters make up for it. Same can't be said for any souls clones games.

I don't see stamina bar and dogshit spastic boss doing anime flips mid air

I dunno why but this game really puts me off. I think it's the art style in conjunction with the gameplay method. When I think turn-based my mind automatically goes to Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest which have always been heavily stylized one way or the other, this feels as off-putting as XV's 'realistic' style.
It doesn't feel like it fits.

story

characters

Lol lmao even

The frenchies did a better job than Fromsoft at making an actual game instead of a half assed boss arena gallery.

If so, they're going to have to make them harder than that.
I played a lot of step mania back in the day. Game was so easy..

action game

dumbass brings rollslop out of nowhere

Such as?
Two KATANAH? Damage numbers? Parry and dodge? Health bar? Big guy? Your thigh highs?

he wants yet another third person sloppa where you roll around with i-frames like a headless chicken because the boss is still spazzing out

No thanks retard

FUCK THIS ASSHOLE

beat him with a sliver of health remaining

fight took 20 minutes to do

finally it's ove-

second phase begins

OH FUCK OFF

Like what?

bro? Just parry? lol?

turn-based soulslike

this shit is starting to feel cutesy as fuck

soulsdrone can't comprehend a concept of an action game

must be rollslopa then!

The absolute state

E33 is better than all Fromslop.

turn based soulslike

It's not another boss gallery with a stamina bar so it's automatically better. There's moments were you can take a break from the grueling task of killing everything with cute and happy moments.

This shit is just Paper Mario.

I missed retards like you when Anon Babble was down

this doesn't look fun at all. how the fuck do people enjoy this?

Looks like they've taken QTEs to the next level

grand
finally some improvement in this god-forsaken industry

This is turned based. It's neither action nor soulslike at all.

frenchies doing what yoshiP tried and failed at

Embarrassing. Then again the feather in his devcap was making a WoWclone

calmly explains

anon is already wrong on the first sentence of his explanation

Hello? Retarded mongoloid department?

It has dodges and parries
The game is like if Paper Mario had a Dark Souls aesthetic

yeah, that's European art, weaponry, combat, etc
the souls series has always been like 95% European shit

It has dodges and parries

Dmc3 also has these. Does it make dmc3 a soulslike?

still doesn't namedrop these fabled amazing "proper action games"

dumb gameless faggot kek

we're gonna have a flood of turn-based Soulslikes now. thoughts?

So just like elden shit?

enemy wields dual sword of red and purple colour????

gotta be a soulslike

Top kek

Holy shit it’s pontiff sulyvahn and Rellana
Anyway how can you tell which attacks you can dodge, jump, and parry before they come out

a guy with a sword? what else?

isn't this just mario & luigi action commands with something more tonally serious (not complaining)

spoonfeed me

Nice try subhuman but you are on your own

This isn't soulsslop at all. It's turned based KINO. Go back to begging daddy Fromsoft for more Fortnite clones.

mod to reduce the camera sensitivity fucking WHEN??
literally unplayable
refunded

Well, yeah. That's how the game industry works. Something gets popular. Everyone rushes to copy it and try to get some of the success. Some succeed while most fail. Rinse and repent fort he next trend.

Where are the BG3 clones when it got moderate success?

This looks so retarded. Talk about trying too hard to be cool.

called it, you have nothing to play so stay stay seething, i hope you're still in these threads after i finish the game lmao

Is this game basically xenoblade 3's chain attacks as the whole battle system?

oink

Chill, subhuman. I'm not gonna spoonfeed you.

It’s only like Xenoblade for damage multipliers. If I had to explain the game:

Final Fantasy X

Mixed with Xenoblade 3’s buffs

Mixed with Mario & Luigi/Paper Mario action commands

CRPG devs shat themselves when it released. so probably never, most ran away and stopped making crpg all together like Bioware and Obsidian and the others cope by claiming its a budget thing when they make nothing but mediocre jankfest.

Some games simply can't be cloned easily, this is not soulslike genre

continue bumping threads about games you will never play like a useful bitch

eh since I've already downloaded it I'll give it a go

Why doesn't anyone make Chess with action commands

God i hope not, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 combat was absolute dogshit

weebs call anything with a slight hint of realism soulslikes

Talk about being mindbroken.

You know bosses have had health bars for more than 40 years, right?

don't ever quote me again, however?

Yeah I remember the first Soulslike, Legend of the Seven Stars. You probably don't remember it because it came out 15 years before you were born.

It’s pretty fun for turn based. I’m about 20 hours in, and the overarching narrative so far is just alright but the characters are interesting and I care about them. Honestly now that you brought up Xenoblade 3, there’s some parallels and I’d say I like this a lot more than that. Only thing Xeno 3 had over this was large monster design and the OST, but this game is way prettier visually and the combat is fun.

dark souls aesthetic

what the actual fuck is wrong with Anon Babble? like seriously? is literally everyone sub-60 IQ?

Dark Souls looks like if Oblivion was made out of clay. Japs are fucking incompetent lmao.

You say this but every Oblivion character looks like it’s made out of Play-Doh

Nioh and Lies of P are good

wrong

The CC in Dark Souls was ripped off from the same CC used in Fallout 3 tho. Everyone in souls had that playdough look too.

Turn based soulslike

So basically any bossfight in shadow of the erdtree?
E33 is ironically a better action rpg than elden ring.

Yes, i need my stiff as fuck movement where i run circles around the boss and rolling on the ground for the 20th time because game devs can't make a game with a combat system without ripping off 85% of the combat mechanics from souls games!!

someone said it looks like cosplayers larping.

This is like Legend of Dragoon

Right, souls games have better story because you found a skull somewhere that has 3 lines of text and you concocted a 3 hour story about it, fromtrannies are subhuman brainrotted brainwashed faggots

people still mindbroken over ER for 4 plus years

Let it go. The studio went to shit after chasing Fortnite.

This is just the gameplay from the Mario RPGs, why are you bringing up Dark Souls

Easy and low effort ragebait to bring up an infamous company into discussion.

It’s the Dark Souls of Mario & Luigi even the the final Cackletta and some BiS EX fights have been harder than what I’ve seen so far in this game.

disguise QTEs

people eat it up as innovative

what a time to be alive

the director specifically cited sekiro as an influence.

It sucks being old and seeing the whole picture all the time.

Every action game is disguise qte

The word den is found all over the place. An L den is a bad house lol. And a ring is a woman. A sinclair is also a sin lair, it’s another house mention. The creator of videogames always does this. He also does it with cars, he will say car bad, or if you own a car you won’t get to date a girl. He’s actually pretty hardcore. I’ve seen him kill people. I don’t play his videogames anymore. Because he uses them to brainwash us too frequently.

They didn't copy the rhythm game aspect which is a good thing. That shit was tedious as fuck. They actually did something with the rpg elements and didn't half ass anything.

[GOOD NEWS]

Idk i still prefer SaGa

When I think turn-based my mind automatically goes to Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest

When I think turn-based, I think Legend of Dragoon, Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story.

I think there are musical cues, I mean parrying has audio cues via music.

Looking at the ``favorite games'' of the developers, I wouldn't think the game would be very souls like at all.
sandfall.co/team

Turned Based Kino is back on the menu and JRPGs that try to ape action games will be a thing of the past. YoshiPiss is done for.

LORIEN TESTARD

Music Composer

Favorite games: Zelda Majora's Mask, Xenoblade Chronicles,

Nier Automata, Hollow Knight

HOLY SHIT BASED NO WONDER I WAS GETTING NIER VIBES FROM THIS GAME

I don't typically play turn based games but I think this looks kinda cool tbdesu

devs specifically cite souls inspiration

deranged Anon Babbletards claim this game isn't souls-inspired

Timed hits with lengthy animations are a surefire way to ruin an RPG.

When devs say that, it usually means the gameplay, but this is turned based and plays nothing like souls. It only has some aesthetics from the games on a few enemy designs and nothing else.

source: trust me sister

Is this game actually good or is it the usual overhyped normieslop?

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

Oh, so soulslike is an art style now? Man, what a fucking retard.

Turn based RPG with dance rhythm mechanics

Could be kino

This game is more uplifting and less depressing than the average souls experience. The gameplay doesn't waste your time on artificial difficult boss rushes either.

it doesn't even look like souls

if anything it reminds me of alice madness returns

that's kinda what ring fit adventure is

Only one enemy looks like it came from souls but the rest of the game has more fantastical elements to it than just knights but bigger.

Honestly, Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story weren't turn-based, they were Active Time Battle systems, where you could move around in real time during battle but before you committed to an attack or any action during a turn, everything freezes so you can properly assess the situation or at least slows down. You can still m,ove about but you'd need to have the action bar refill become you could do anything but move.

This game looks great but my problem with it is how everything is clearly moving in realtime yet it's still fucking turn-based. Why not make it an ATB type game? I don't even care if the enemy does wacky shit like in 's webm or about the parrying in response to enemy attacks, but it feels so weird when the enemy does all this shit and then all your player character can do is stay in place and parry it when moving out of the way would make more mechanical sense. It's not objectively horrible but the communication that the PC is dodging attacks yet not moving out of the way is really jarring. Do they give a plot reason for this?

Also no OP, this isn't a Soulslike just because it has parrying.

You must be retarded because only one of those is turn based.
Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story don't use ATB.

i cant believe zoomers find this mechanic so hard
its mario rpg
I'm sure they will patch it out with an easy mode for you

Contraritranny

He meant nioh 2; stop being a faggot

You can always spot a Miyahacki nobgobbler because they out themselves.

Last soulslike is LotF2 but that turned out to be shit. The genre already spiraled out of existence unless you confused it with parry mechanics which in that case you're a retard.

so good times ahead

It's a new age of Paper Mario-likes which is better.

pretty sure the first game to have this sort of combat system was mario rpg on snes

I don't know what so souls about this
big guy with 2 swords?
The rhythmic parries/dodges looks more like Sekiro to me

The fact that there isn't an annoying stamina bar makes it better than Sekiro.

dark souls impact has damaged gaming as a whole

this boss in particular is an intentional reference to pontiff. the game has a lot of references to other stuff

Been a thing since Darkest Dungeon anyway., only thing that would be changing would be a jumo in budget for em and making em 3D.

Not a fan of turn based games

Except this isn't souls. E33 mogs that garbage.

Someone did in 1995 and it didn't do well

You mean better than Souls? Sekiro doesn't have a stamina bar

we're gonna have a flood of turn-based Soulslikes now. thoughts?

That can only be a good thing now that Fromsoft is exclusively focusing on gay Fortnite shit. Those fucking idiots. Other devs will pick up the slack for singleplayer games. They'll become irrelevant in their own created genre, just because they got stupid and tried to chase the ADHD multiplayer crowd. KWAB.

Lies of P exposed how lazy Bloodborne and Sekiro was put together. The gooks opened my eyes to how shitty all of Fromslop's catalogue is.

that unironically looks shit. why on earth would you have sekiro parry with turn-based combat? it defeats the purpose of turn-based combat.

idk but it beats having to force yourself to dance around a boss with a shitty camera like a retard 24/7

Is this Generic Faggot Weeb Game 330,000 that just came out?
These retarded weeb faggots have been buying the same game over and over again for like the past 15 years then talk shit on Bethesda or something lol

15 hours in

Game has yet to stop firing on all cylinders

I'm still in shock how fucking quality the whole package is. The amount of butt ravaged seethe it's caused from Anon Babble is just icing on top.

You did beat him on expert right?

if i want turn-based combat, i'll play a turn-based game. adding elements of action to it is silly because something like sekiro is far better at it.

it looks janky and you can never have the best of both worlds.

Legend of Dragoon

Shadow Hearts

Mario RPG

Shut your whore mouth, tourist

live long enough for people to get filtered by chess

This feels like a parody. Pretty funny.

Your life is a parody

QTE until it's your turn

is this the innovation people were talking about?

slop slop it's all slop

This fucking website should have remained dead.

every time a western rpg comes out that slaps action commands or QTEs on shallow turn based gameplay people who don't like turn based games come out and praise it to the high heavens and claim it's saved the genre.
this one's particularly bad because it has high production values.
