Berserker Khazan missed sales targets but achieved target of introducing Dungeon Fighter universe

"The game made its global debut on March 28 with strong ratings from both players and critics. While Q1 revenue was below our outlook, the game achieved our objective as a strategic first step in a multi-year plan to introduce Dungeon & Fighter IP to a global audience."

The devs forgot that the OMG ULTRA HARD meme is only a meme that fromtrannies perpetuate to feel superior, and nobody wants an actually hard souls clone

i know i would have bought it if it had a character creator. seriously, i do not want to play as weeb geralt on steroids.

what do you want to play as

A hot girl so I can self-insert

I'm a soulsCHAD and I throughly enjoyed Khazan, also your point makes no sense since you can literally turn the difficulty down and summon an AI buttbuddy to gank the boss like in elden ring. The problem with the game is that it's a 20 hour game stretched over a 50 hour length and the artstyle is bland as fuck.

Good for them. I'll get the game later. Would love to see more standalone DFO stuff even though I don't play it anymore.

I am shocked at how good TFB looks and runs. That's the blessing of UE4 I guess.

boss rush dlc

expect a snoozefest with my NG++ gear

generic gear rental

only level 110 or so

bosses will two shot you

Holy shit, this is exactly what I wanted

Yeah it was probably the best way to handle it.

Should not have put in Denuvo then

They need to get into the real crazy dungeon fighter shit. Khazan played it way too safe just making a grimdark souls world and desperately tried to hide that it's part of DFO.

Make a Battle Mage game in Pandemonium.

anime dogshit

Fuck off

a dollar on any account stie

This nigga pays for cracks

Shouldn't have released the same day as the superior game

The protagonist is cool but the complete lack of sex appeal despite the 16+ (18+ in Asia) rating of the game killed any and all interest I had.

Denuvo

Absolutely deserved. Even more if your aim is introducing your IP to a wider audience.
Denukeks never learn.

I got both.

Man this game just came and went

game full of the crazy shit and good music

make a spinoff about the most boring part of the world

only include like two actual good songs

and summon an AI buttbuddy to gank the boss

so just like any Souls meme pretend difficulty

this, they forgot to add magic and summons so shitters can cheese their way through the game

finally moved transmog from NG+ to NG as soon as I got to Ozma

Well, they probably wanted to recoup costs from Project BBQ (it had been in development for 10 years)

put denuvo

*dies*

many such cases

but it has essences and spirits of advocacy? i never fought that big retarded wolf with way too much health i just threw shit at it

It has summons but they suck ass and an actual easy mode. Shitters bitched because they are hardcore souls vets that thought they were too good for easy mode and it was the games fault because it wouldn't let them overlevel and steamroll the game like they do in dark souls.

They added a boss rush mode that was specifically said to be the super hard endgame challenge that most people won't beat and now people are crying that it's too hard and needs to be nerfed

E33

no Denuvo

on Game Pass Day 1

2 mi sales in less than 2 weeks

At this point, why do companies hire Denuvo? No, really, why?

I'm starting to think if you add Denuvo to your game, you game likely sucks.

Most people don't actually like arpgs outside the souls bubble

We should have gotten a psychological horror game about the drug and alcohol addicted child who is slowly going more and more insane and dying from looking into a nightmare dimension and is also fucking crawling chaos who is larping as a cute succubus girl and fell in love with him so now she is desperately trying to keep him alive

Which is an actual playable class in dfo

They didn't make everything overly detailed with hundred of thousands tris. A lot of statues for example have bad facial details upon closer inspection but under normal circumstances you won't notice this directly. They also seem to have rather low lod distance but the mission layouts conceal it.

gooks overcompensate with aggressive shilling

at the end of the day reveal sales were mid

Imagine my shock

I managed to nail the yeti in 2 minutes but then ended up getting one shot by viper shortly after

have to start from the yeti again

I personally do not like it but if you really like the game this is the perfect addition I guess.

The game was excellent so hopefully it'll continue to sell more over time. It's possible that they had overly high or unrealistic expectations of course.

I was gonna buy it but then denuvo

you got that swapped

I wish I knew where I've got the Nyarly pics stashed

what character should they make an action game around?

the short haired monk girl they showed in that one trailer and then never again

lol i didn't even know this game was part of Dungeon Fighter. usually Dungeon Fighter has a kinda unique art style

the game only had boring safe horney designs
no wonder it didn't stick out that much

A full dmc style action game has to be battle mage. She has melee and projectiles to extend combos and a devil trigger transformatuon

thats funny, being part of the dungeon fighter universe whas the reason i didn buy it.

I enjoyed playing as the Traveler.

Make a game based around a churazeeeee side scroller beat em up where you do wacky shit and kill entire screens worth of mobs

Make it into a boring roll-parry-slop where you can do 2-3 attacks before your stamina cuck bar runs dry

Gee, I wonder why it flopped

there isn't a roll thougheverbeit

people also cry about every souls game on release and fromsoft nerfs the game into the ground. THe actual hardcore souls fans are a silent minority, its the shitters who dont want easy modes and pretend they are hardcore

Elden ring had

global ranged enemy aiming AI nerf, which made it so you didnt have to dodge or juke ranged enemies and could just walk out of the way of projectiles. This affects every enemy and boss that shoots projectiles at the player.

global multi enemy AI, which made it so enemies were less aggressive if there was more than 1 on your screen, this completely ruined 1 entire enemy group that was designed in a way to attack in rhythmic patterns at the same time.

heal punish AI nerf. Before the nerf to enemies you had to bait an attack and then heal while certain enemies were in recovery frames, after the nerf you have time to heal and then then dodge right in front of the enemies face when they are in a neutral stance

Release Overkill already faggots

What's the deal with the big titty dog girl on the left? That seems out of place in the usual anime shit.

they are suggesting a release date in 2027

earth exploded

a chunk of planet with new york on it drifted through space

space radiation turned people into furries if they couldn't naturally use magic and elves if they could

She's a super special furry that was furry but could still use magic and she fucks a mafia boss

the fuck is going on over at nexon these days? They used to be clearly just greedy as fuck chink company, but this doesn't even have any microtransactions, and then there is that new vindictus coming soon.

The boss rush mode is pretty hard tbf. I've been trying almost 2 hours to do the Nightmare of Chaos one.

"Hardcore" souls fans are terminal retards who look at the games mechanics then deliberately choose to never use them. Because it's somehow "too easy" otherwise, then bitch loudly when the gimmick fight where you're supposed to summon a bunch of npc's is too hard when done solo. No shit sherlock, what did you expect to happen? Tired of the Joseph Andersons of the world thinking their challenge run is the intended way to play the game.

female berserker
female fighter

I think denuvo was to blame for this.
I would have pirated and shilled it but instead it was forgotten about immediately.

game has button that skips boss fights

don't press the button because that's fucking retarded

"NOOOO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE ALL THE GAME MECHANICS REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Nigga please I 100% the game in 55 hours

hype up Hismar all game

it's the worst boss in the game

Unfortunate. As far as parryslop goes, it's really good.

Game has wide array of weapons

Don't use any of them

REEEE WHY ISN'T THIS GAME SOLOABLE LVL 1? FROMSOFT IS HACKS

This is you. This is how you sound.

I was interested in Khazan but I felt no rush to pick it up, it's not like action games are something you can really get spoiled on or miss out on the experience by waiting for a sale and there's no shortage of games to play now so why buy it at full price when I can just wait a couple months and get it for 30-50% cheaper?

the demo for this played like shit. don't know what people see in it.

I beat all souls games lvl 1 with a prostate massager up my ass.

I thought it was one of the only bosses that is actually challenging

As far as I can tell the boss rushes put you against NG++ stat bosses with a first playthrough Khazan.
Frankly though the rewards seem worth it from a stat standpoint even if the gear is just recolors.

Didn't these guys literally change their release date so it would come out at the same time as Ai Limit?
What the fuck did they think would happen?

This barely got advertised at all, it only had trailers at fucking award shows.

nameless rank and file soldier

another korean flop

along with flops of P, Inzoi and stellar Flop!

You want every Souls game to be a slow paced rhythm game so you can mid roll with a long sword and shove your toothpick up a giant's ass for 15 minutes rather than actually do anything fun.
Because your synapses got rewired by playing Dark Souls 1 poorly once upon a time and you've never recovered.

schizo

I get that if hyoid didn’t get passed the yeti, the opening is like Nioh where you just don’t have access to some basic mechanics until the second level.

This very board was bombarded with shilling, all major streamers were streaming this flop -carnage,assmongoloid etc. shut the fuck up shill

Similar. But for me, it's that the assets look so generic that I couldn't talk myself into buying it. It's like buying a game with mobile game graphics. It just doesn't feel right.

it didn't feel good to control or dodge. code vein was even better. AI limit is shit too people here have rock bottom standards for soulslikes. i'd argue that even lies of pp is mid as fuck and overrated. haven't played the newer lords of the fallen so can't comment on that but it's probably shit too.

Ah yes the shilling campaign of one thread up a day for less than a week for a new release and streamers playing it to fill space between asscreed and schedule 1. You’re a retarded fucking nigger.

murdered by a retard

Arrisa is friend!

The perfect game would have been khazans combat and ai limits world. Because AI had some of the shittiest bosses in any souls game ever. The only two good ones were Ursula and Loskid

Why the fuck did they insist on no transmog for ng in the first place? Such a retarded notion.

Why didn't you buy Khazan?

Soulslop fatigue? Racism against gooks?

Just below lies of P but a lot better than Dark Souls.

I did buy it though

I felt it wasn't worth $60. Will get it for $30 1-2 years later.

I'm not paying 60 bucks for a game.

did you think Nexon was gonna let you get cosmetics easily? foolishness

Nexxon, so it was destined to fail

I bought it, liked the gameplay at first, got pissed that bosses had too much health and left almost no openings for you to punish them, ignored these flaws to finish it andsee if there would be any payoff for the story (there was only a sequel bait), hated it, left a bad review and uninstalled it yesterday. Fuck this game.

cute anime viking girl

I mean, why not?

hell yeah brother

Okay but Khazan was really easy though.
A male character with a chin wider than an anime girl.

Soulslike devs need to temper their expectations. FROM has normieslop twitch stream pull. Soulslikes coming out of non-FROM devs are more niche. AA-tier. No matter how good they are (like Nioh 2) they'll have smaller playerbases which already like the subgenre.

Korean game

Male character

Lol no thanks

instead of making an action game in vein of dmc which would go with how dfo plays, they made another souslike

I have souls fatigue

There's plenty of openings to punish.

this

like, koreans of all people should know best what the gamers really want...

missed opportunity not providing the world another cute girl from the best cute girl creators

Body type 2 witch

he's nothing like geralt wtf

AI LIMIT FLAWLESS VICTORY. Nobody wants to play as a dumb gymmaxxed muscle chud. We want to be cute girls

Clearly there weren´t, otherwise I wouldn´t have had that impression and why one of the more recurring criticisms of the game in the steam reviews is that bossfights take too damn long

Does AI Limit have a parry mechanic?

They're like 2-3 minutes long. If you are taking longer then you aren't playing right.

a kid with magical powers

Ye but it's more of a Dark Souls 1 parry instead of a Sekiro parry

swift master

arguing over which shitty irrelevant game nobody cares about is better

sad.

This. the fromtrannies are loud but not very numerous.

Damn...thank´s anyway!

I could care less about Steam reviews but I do know a lot of people were just bad at the game. Bosses do have a lot of health but the player still has a lot of openings to punish. I do hope you were combo'ing them after using counterattack against red attacks for example. I think a lot of people probably didn't understand stagger outside of those counterattacks either. Charged potent blows would temporarily let you combo most human enemies if you continued to attack right after for example.

Sure thing man, then please tell me what playing right means and why apparently the vast majority of players aren´t doing it

Just stop wasting money on Denuvo? There are no enough pirates that could justify spending millions. And pirates won't buy games just because they can't pirate it.

I played both games back-to-back and both of them were very good. People that like different kinds Asian action RPGs were the ones that won here.

Yes, i did combo bosses with the little openings they gave, especially when staggered to exploit the window before doing a backstab. Problem was, that I was barely doing any damage. Am I supposed to believe that I was underleveled from playing normally to a degree that my attacks wouldn´t do stamina/health damage?

tell me what playing right means

It means using the actual moves the game gives you and using counters and the like to create your own openings

why the vast majority of players aren't doing it

The vast majority of players suck ass

b..but what about heckin Denuvo increasing sales n stuff? what the frick?!?!?!

Exactly why denuvo is useless.

Project Overkill looks so good, unironically. I've heard people saying it looks like mobile trash though.

add hot White, submissive women

games popularity will explode

is that simple

A big TITS and ASS and ABS fem barbarian using a thong, topless and super confident on her looks and strength

this looks like shit.

This game fucking sucks. Every both has a status effect which means you‘re taking constant passive damage. I wasted 60€ on this garbage and i just quit on the coffin boss

This

A hack and slash with an almost nude Sister Repentia going berserk

Nexon

Automatically ignored

No release date whatsoever

Would play even if it only had the same amount of content as DFO year 1. Guess they don't want to risk it.

they should've made a game about the girl with pink hair and sunglasses

It‘s not even that. The issue is that the game is “hard“ in the worst way possible. Bosses have 10 different attacks that are all delayed with different timings and they swing so fast that you can‘t react to them. If you accidentally guard instead of perfect guarding they apply plague/fire/lightning and you‘re just dead over time. You have to memorize the whole pattern for every boss and it‘s too tedious. Elden ring was already bad when it came to this and this shitpile took it to a whole different level

based

The game is built around a lot of aggression so the damage you do will add up as long as keep exploiting openings. I actually do agree that the bosses had more health than normal compared to other similar games but I wouldn't say it was too much. The game just expected you to really get good at each boss in order to beat it. The RPG aspects actually were important so you should've been using the Khazan memory points to boost damage and also forge damage boosting stuff on all your gear. Same thing with keeping your weapon level up-to-date. Other than that, you and many other people may have not been using good combos during openings and just not using the weapons to their fullest in general. For example, I used dual wield and would often do howling blade combo with normal attacks in between during openings. This is a decent combo but then I eventually learned that it's better to loop the howling blade finisher with aggressive action and deftness and thus started to do much better damage during openings.

But I did use those moves and they did fuckall of damage!
And regarding your second comment, if the game does not cater to the vast majority of players by at least having properly balanced bosses, then they have no right to whine about not meeting sales targets.

Fuck man, I did not even know what those Khazan memory points where till late in the game. They could have chosen any other name but the "memories" part made me think it was some sort of option to revisit previous battles.

Shame it didn't meet expectations. It is a good game. I put it on the same level as Nioh 2. Basically it is not as good as Souls/Sekiro/Lies of P but it is still well worth your time if you like the genre (especially Nioh 2). I actually really liked the art style too and it ran really well.

Too bad AI Limit's combat is fucking dogshit. The two games needed to fuse where you have the actual good combat of Last Berserker and then the actual good level design of AI Limit.

The game is shit, I hated the demo, ugly as fuck and full of stolen animations

Perfect guarding doesn't even prevent status effect build-up. If for some reason you sold your accessories that reduce it, you're gonna be fucked until it randomly drops or gonna have to switch your whole armor gear/sets

stolen animations

Nodevs can't be this low IQ... right?

The game didn't explain it with a tutorial prompt but probably should've. I want to say they added a prompt for it in the new update but I'm not fully sure on that.

Sex with the creature on the left

Use your spirit moves and play aggressive this isn’t a souls game where you have limited mp and no combat ability.

khazar the first milkers

I think they mentioned they’re working on an actual hard mode soon.

Well, the problem with that is how you "make openings". I kept attacking but it did fuckall to their stamina and (almost) nothing to their health so I do not see where you get the chance to "make" an opening?

You have to look at more than just Steam and look at console reception as well.
I hate using "soulslike" as a genre but there's been numerous successful action RPGs of this nature. The Nioh series for example and even Wo Long did alright.

If you use dual wield level up wind piercer it hits a fuck ton of times and will let you stagger bosses pretty easily, deftness does solid stamina damage, Phantom Sword Dance and whirlwind shred through basically everything. There’s plenty of strong options.

Reflection can be used for mostly any attack but the timing is hard to get down. What you really want to do is charged potent blows which will temporarily put them in a short combo'able state. For example, with dual wield, starting combos off with the sprinting potent blow was often a good idea. This could chain into deftness which could then chain into aggressive action and then whirlwind/howling blade or whatever. Not everything could be staggered like this of course but it works for most human enemies and bosses.

Great game. I'd definitely recommend it if you actually like hard games
