Blasphemous

I get a strong Diablo 1 vibe from this. And thats a good thing.

>looks like a clunky version of dead cells. can tell by watching that it is very stiff

I think it's more in the style of classic metroidvania games than something like Dead Cells, hence the weightier feel to everything.

honestly ps1 games has more soul than this.

I was talking about the first track in the video, it uses the classical flamenco chord progression
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andalusian_cadence

yeah it's flamenco, which is pretty cool. The devs are also spanish.

This game looks like a shitty dead cells lmao

Ok Yea Forums, are we really gonna do that thing again when i say a game is good, you say it's shit, then the game comes out and you shit all over it out of principle but then 1 year later you actually play and decide it's kino?

Are we really doing this again?
Can't we skip this part and you just agree with my opinion right now so i don't have to wait 1 year to discuss this game on Yea Forums?
I always end up being right in the end anyway, i'm tired of waiting for you to catch up.

the way he runs/holds his sword looks wierd

Like the SOTN vibe though. Too bad whoevers platying this is garbage at it. I wonder what the catch for accepting Viridiana's help is.

ok, i get that
but why ape dark souls so hard for your entire aesthetic, and then go back 20 years to ape castlevania for your gameplay?
i wasn't too keen on dead cells, but i thought it felt better to play than any castlevania
if i want castlevania gameplay, i have a whole series that can give me that, and clones from 10-15 years ago.
there's a reason people think cuphead and dead cells are major leaps for this genre

Reminds me of Muppet Monster Adventure. Very spooky.

just wait. if the game is a bit controversial and starts getting hate from game journalists Yea Forumstards will call it GOTY

Soul is just another word for nostalgia

>HERES WHY BLASPHEMOUS NEEDS AN EASY MODE, AND WHY EASY MODES ARE A GOOD THING by Jason Shrier

You're saying "if".
I "do" want castlevania gameplay, and what exists is not enough, I already played those games 10 times. Timespinner, Blasphemous, I'm glad these castlevania clones are still being made.

you get to smell its armpit everytime you die

I just don't really understand what the game tries to be
does it want to be a metroidvania?
a 2d dark souls?
a dead cell clone?
all of that at the same time?

Why is everyone calling this dark souls when its very obviously a SotN clone

>2D Souls ripoff
>but with actual quality aesthetics, animations and atmosphere
It's like Salt & Sanctuary but not shit.

Level design ain't looking so hot. Large empty rooms with basic shapes reminding me of the procedurally generated rooms in Chasm.
Combat looks fun though.

It's the Castlevania of Dark Souls of Symphony of the Night of Metroid clones

I don't think it will have better combat than Dead Cells. I can't think of any single 2D game that does combat better than Dead Cells does. It's pretty much the pinnacle of the genre. The problem is that Dead Cells fatally shot itself in the foot by putting emphasis on running as fast as possible and slashing everything in your way from A to Z. Any game with inferior animation fluidity, inferior enemy variety or inferior weapon diversity will still end up more enjoyable than Dead Cells simply due to having an actual atmosphere and backstory.

I don't think you've ever even seen Diablo 1 being played.

alright, your point is well-taken
but what i'm saying is that there should be more refinement, if not advancement
i am older than fuck. if you told me when i was playing ghouls and ghosts or ghosts and goblins, or strider or whatever the fuck that was
if you told me to imagine what that game could be in 2019, i'd be disappointed by dead cells, let alone this
i dont think there's a future with this genre because there is no money to be made

I hate this dickhole

It feels more like SOTN than any other metroidvania from IGA
Enemies are more meaty so that alone makes the combat more intense. Also boss fight was rad.
The only think that seems weak are the backgrounds, way too dark and repetitive

I watched [insert e-celeb here] play it start to finish. It looked like shit

>dark gothic sprite aesthetics
>atmospheric guitar music
>totaly not Diablo

Now you are just trying to bait. Have a (you).

It is made by spaniards.

I played it and I can tell you it feels right. It's not a fast crazy game thou, it's more like a classic Castlevania.

Now you're stretching it with the gothic aesthetics.

They are definitely casual filters but then again it's an optional zone.

Is the setting directly referencing christianity or is this essentially just similar visuals.

Don't know about "casual filters"
More like "if you're not a heavy armor user" filters since they will literally one-shot you unless you have enough defense to survive one stab

You're right, I think the only possible future for it is in indie games made by old nostalgic bastards, but they would have to reach the level of the classics before they can even begin to advance the genre, and they seem more occupied with cloning them and adding a modern twist aka making it a rogue-lite or adding a parry button. Seems hopeless.

This gonna be a Bloodstained killer.

>. I can't think of any single 2D game that does combat better than Dead Cells does. It's pretty much the pinnacle of the genre

Zoomers gonna zoom.

Ave María purísima

From what I gather it's a fantasy religion that rips pretty much everything off from medieval christianity.

The mumbo jumbo shit some characters spew seems like something a priest would say over here in Spain.
I'm not religious and tend to avoid churches, so take it with a grain of salt

They needed to place one of those somewhere in mandatory level to collect the shitter tears

>boss throws the statue head at the floor in front of you, rather than straight at you like in the original trailer

BOOOOOOOOO

My only complain is the lack of weapons aside your own thorn sword and the spells seem just big burst of damage or stats boost

>getting hit
wew, the difficulty (for me) came from killing them before I got hit. I could one-shot them on my first guy but my first character was a 2H Mace dude so I had to practice the timing of the slow swing and their speed entirely too many fucking times before I could reliably kill them and move on.
My second character was a scythefag and I could 2-3shot each one but it was riskier as I had to jump around to not get my ass toasted.

There seem to be the hearts for your sword that modify him in some ways at least.

Yeah but I hope they go all the way, and directly reference Jesus, the Bible and all that, even if the whole setting and enemies are fantastical.

I like the art direction and main character's armor so I will give it a try. Fun fact if your protagonist has an exposed face your game is shit

Is there a release date? Not sure why there's so much more shilling for this game suddenly.

The only way they can ruin the game is by not making the God a final boss.

>but why ape dark souls so hard for your entire aesthetic,
Only somewhat. I understand the connection and it's an obvious, overt influence, but there's a lot of specifically Catholic iconography incorporated into the game that Dark Souls -- which exists so everyone knows Miyazaki has read Berserk -- does not. If it apes anything from Dark Souls it's the approach to storytelling.
>ape castlevania for your gameplay
Because games taking inspiration from disparate influences has always happened. My biggest issue with what we've seen isn't the stuff that's borrowed so much as the execution of what's there. The level design looks very bland. I'm hoping other areas are more dynamic, but my hopes aren't high.

Bendita la boca que alaba a María

Seems to be a parody of the catholic liturgy more than the religion itself. But then again to many people the liturgy is the whole deal

From what I can gather from this and the "first 17 minutes" IGN video, God is called "the miracle" and despite clearly having a crucified Jesus on your sword, the dude's called something else. It's medieval Catholicism with a few name changes and tweaks to make it just fantasy enough to get away with.

This game is getting shilled bretty hard recently. Where's the fucken free keys ffs? or atleast a fucking demo you paella niggers.

>Not sure why there's so much more shilling for this game suddenly.

It got funded on kickstarter years ago, then there was basically complete silence from the devs for ages, then suddenly they've added it TBA to the steam page and started releasing actual gameplay footage rather than just trailers.

I hope with the skill tree you get some fun stuff

>writing it off
I don't think people are doing that, me personally I'm going to give it a whirl and maybe buy it. I don't see the point in ignoring the influences in it, though, Demon's/Dark Souls has influenced a ton of games, even good ones.

Shame, I think it loses something that way.

Probably. Lots of Dead Cells fags think it is a metroidvania too.

>MUH MARY
Catholics can’t help but be idolatrous, can they?

Si su virgen viste de oro, ¡desnúdala!

My guess it's because Dead Cells is the lastest relevant game with a good 2d combat system.
I've never played Salt and Sanctuary, but because that game has flash-game tier animation that's probably why it's not brought up.

>Jesus says idols are bad
>Catholics proceed to idolize his mother
I bet he's rolling in his grave in heaven right now

Not catholic, but anti-idoltry parts of Christianity are basically the most seething aspects of Judaism and made worse in islam.
Catholics ignoring it for roman tradition is healthier and lead to the creation of great things; meanwhile protestants be content with their little wooden shacks and suicidal mentalities.

Have you tried indie general in /vg/?
Weird game. Huge bosses with tiniest weakspots. You can zip around and attack non-stop, but enemies have almost zero reaction to your attacks. Huge level up tree with just two(maybe three) upgrades that do something interesting. Getting higher level perks boost both good and bad sides of the perk up to unusable levels with no ability to downgrade (still haven't played through after big update, maybe it's better now). Story is so non-existant, it reaches first super mario bros levels.
But it's kinda fun, especially on full corruption route.

Looks fun if a bit edgy, wonder if it'll come in an original Spanish dub. This and Silksong will hopefully bring back more attention to the genre.

Shouldn’t you be diddling some choir boys?

Jesus didn't invent the concept of "idoltry is a sin", it was Moses/Jews. Archeological and historical evidence suggests jews were basically seething at their neighbors and all their religious taboos were basically rituals practices by their neighbors.
For example, most households in Babylon had a pillar dedicated to Ishitar(El's wife, goddess of fertility), which the bible mentions as an abomination.

Protestants shouldn't be allowed to comment in Blasphemous threads tbqwy
They can't neither into the themes or aesthetics.

>the old testament was just yhwh having a shitfit over the other gods

Boss has no real tells, if you've ever played video games before you know how his moves are going to be but with that as a precedent I bet a lot of bosses will be utter bullshit at first.
Sound effects and mixing are underwhelming. Sword feels wimpy and unsatisfying, voices don't really feel right.
Music is boring and barebones. Doesn't elicit any real feeling and just lets itself stay in the background as bland white noise.
Gameplay is okay, it's the early game of a Metroidvania so not fair to judge.

Everything but the designs and the hints at lore feels "serviceable". No real expectations, apathetic pass.

I reminder that Catholics never did anything as embarrassing as this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Disappointment

Makes sense, but is there evidence that Jesus or the original Christians didn't copy the Jews and look down upon idolatry? Or did protestants just make that shit up based on the Old Testament?

All progress is through keys, not abilities you get from bosses.

Funny thing is that a lot of the language used to describe or praise the other god end up being used for YHWVH himself.

Will there still be unlockable abilities and weapons? Otherwise I can't see the game going very far.

Nah I tend to stay away from /vg/. Shame to hear about the low amount of upgrades and the lack of story. Figured the story would be neat since there's the mystery of whatever the fuck is talking to you throughout the game, and seems to know about the Elder Shards; plus all the Lovecraftian inspiration with the wild bosses.

Jesus said all the old jew stuff was true despite later parts of the new testament contradicting parts of it in favor of the religious structure that separates Christianity from Judaism. The reason? Well Jesus was a jew and was preaching a new faith to jews, which just like the Romans and Catholicism requires a preservation of older customs or familiar elements (The veneration of Mary blatantly mirroring Minerva(Roman Athena) worship)

Ironically, the most fucked up and weird shit in Christianity probably doesn't come from Christ, but by trying to take into account the old Testament and the schizophrenic greek that wrote Revelations around Nero's time.

Christianity would have probably been better off if Revelations was considered fanfiction.

Assuming that's their idle animation at the start, I wonder if flagellants kill themselves by damaging themselves if left alone long enough.

Pardon the pun, but isn't that the point?

Nice pixel art. Everything else either looks okay or like dark souls. I mean, it literally does the fade-to-text-when-you-kill-a-boss thing that's honestly getting pretty old. Combat does not look like it'll have enough variety to carry the whole thing unless the game is short as fuck.

Well, there is a possibilty of helmet's being hollow in the "spike" part, but somehow I doubt it.

He demonstrated like 3 abilities in the trailer. Some sort of buff and whatever that purple shit is. The combat will probably have depth to it based on that, but it may be buff based rather than technical.

Alot of shit in the New Testament should be considered fanfiction considering the authors seriously thought that the world was going to end in their lifetime. Also, Revelations is not considered a prophetic tale. Its merely some guy writing to the various churches being persecuted and telling them to hold out because they'll be rewarded in the end. However, that being said, it should not even be in any Bible.

What's was his name, again?

NO SWITCH NO BUY

>Revelation's is not considered a prophetic tale.
Uh user, it's literally the basis for Christianity as a suicide cult. It's basically a fan fiction written before Nero's death about how the world will soon end because needless to say the mental health of Christians during such a time of persecution was not well. Many probably thought that it would take a miracle of god to get them out of that situation, which is what it describes. A mystical whisking away of Christians as the entire world is sent into an apocalyptic hell.
It is the book that's basically been analyzed to hell and back and pinned to all sorts of crazy shit, because greeks just love their metaphors and number worship.

Any bible already /is/ fanfiction, my man.

>what is was his name

looks cool, but seems repetitive. The gameplay doesnt seem innovative or enhancing known gameplay.

Alright, I'll go to bed now.

LMAO go to reddit if you want idiots to praise you for every little shit you take :)

Holy Week is for massive faggots, nothing related to souls games

Emphasis on low amount of meaningful upgrades, level up tree has literal fucktons of "+1 to stat" upgrades.
There is some fluff thrown here and there in lore rooms, but it's incredibly vague. Maybe if you are versed in Lovecraft lore (the thing that talks is a Shining Trapezohedron, Lovecraftian as fuck), there are a lot of things that are meaningful and it would make story better, but to an uneducated peasant like me - it's meh.
Art style really saves the game. Also, I like how they animated Eshe, that on ground down+attack swing is absolutely amazing, for example. Shame that camera likes to zoom out so much that you are a tiny speck of dust somewhere on the screen

shit game

>june 4

this isn't new.

EEEEEEEEEEXPOOOOOOOOOO SIIITO

The game would have been great if you'd done it and designed it before dark souls. But nobody in Europe exploited that. The Japanese had to come and make 5 different games using the European theme and architecture. This genre is already burned, they know it even in From Software.

You are very late, you would have to use the money to have innovated in another gammerzz field.

Dark souls is European medieval for sure, gothic in many places.

But Christian? Not that much, it does have things (impossible to do European middle ages without some religion) but I don't really see a focus on Christianity anywhere.

>Fantasy and SciFi can "burn out"
???

>visual look
>genre
Stop doing this

>Went for a whip build
>Fucking unplayable for half the game
>Then you get the steel sword whip and the game becomes great fun
It's fucked how shit the whip progression is. I was really disappointed by who little versatility it had. Finding out the game actually has a combo system afterwards blew my mind.

Looks like a shitty version of Salt and Sancuary

RTC Wolfenstein is European, World War II for sure,nazi in many places.

But Pagan? Not that much, it does have things (impossible to do European middle ages without some paganism) but I don't really see a focus on paganism anywhere.

I dropped my attempt at whip build when I realized that my most effective whip is actually a sword with a optional longer ranged attack and if I wanted to play with a sword, I could just go for a greatsword and get almost the same range.
Whips also seem to have almost zero poise/balance damage and that really gimps them

Morrons saying it looks like DS but this is much more SoN than anything else. But still, why the game looks so dull and dare I say, "dated".

Really, why so much sprite work with no particles, shading and modern light work? There is no reason other to be a purist, but games with pure sprite work look ten thousand more lively than this (fucking Metal Slug).

There is no animation in the background, no motion7, everything is static and dead.

Question is, don't you think you could make a game focused on paganism without anyone comparing it to wolfenstein??

>yfw this static image looks more lively than those 7min of gameplay
And I never played SoN.

when is this coming out

>rolling
>huge boss with a dozen different attacks
>npcs that talk in cryptic words about lore that you have to discover as you go because it's all ambiguous
>it's nothing like a souls game

fucking christ you're retarded as shit, dude

graphics are nice but the level design is generic as fuck and the gameplay has been done to death already. basically this

>parrying
>points from enemies
>health flasks
>large bosses
>These are all things exclusive to souls games
Wow I guess every game is like dark souls then

Like Odallus: The Dark Call, this'll be forgotten pretty quick. Looks pretty, though.

>parrying
Realy, DS invent parry now.
>"bonfires"
You mean, savepoints? Have you ever played a metroidvania?
>points from killing enemies
Score/combo/xp you mean?
>"estus" that refills at the "bonfires"
See above.
>rolling
DS invented rolling, fuckin OoT had rolling.
>huge boss with a dozen different attacks
You are not even trying
>npcs that talk in cryptic words about the lore that you have to discover as you go because it's all ambiguous
Even fuck FNAF has this.

if it's anything like salt and sanctuary then it's a hard pass. Can't stand the games where their main selling point is the difficulty.

Indie for ya

such a cool character

Odallus was great, though. I haven't forgotten it.

>ten piedad

Dios mio...

what is this obsession with "lateness?" I don't judge what I play based on a fucking global timer, and I wouldn't expect an indie dev to judge what they make based on one either, especially if they've already had people throw money at their idea.

I judge what I play by playing it, and if I'm having fun, fuck if it's "late" it's right on time for me.

I wish the weapons had been balanced a bit better for a larger variety of different playthroughs.
