SPANISH INQUISITION CASTLEVANIA

>but if the movements and gameplay is clunky, then it's shit. That's why it's hard to make a metroidvania.
They had a demo out for like a week already. Go try it and judge for yourself.

Around 20 hours without exploring everything

It's a zoomer souls, lad
Don't lie

Fug. There's another game I want to play coming out next week. Might have to put this one on the backburner for down the line.

It think that would be smart. I've heard about some bug issues, nothing really game breaking, but it seems the patch is going to come next week so you don't lose much making it wait a bit.

Watched the bosses and some levels, it is so fucking boring and try hard.
>Heracatalos, the fallen scion of the heretic cellar
Nah, fuck off with this cringe.

Biggest problem with the game visually from the little i've seen so far is that lots of the bigger "sprites" have little to zero animation. This is one of those games that could use a 2.0 update or a "definitive version" to polish some of graphical stuff to not look so fucking static.

>that lots of the bigger "sprites" have little to zero animation
there are smaller enemies and even human size bosses that only have animated wings. the rest of the body is completely stiff.
For the time they developed this game it's a fucking joke.

As awesome as this game looks, I got stuck during the demo because my guy literally wouldn't jump through floorboards. Also the gameplay felt mediocre at best and not very smooth the way most of these fun Metroidvania games manage to feel.

Clunky gameplay can be overlooked to an extent, but if I literally can't progress through the game because of some stupid shit like being unable to get through the floor then that's some very, VERY bad news.

The Lecarde Chronicles is actually pretty decent:

AI Somnium Files. It's a murder mystery game, so better to play it out the door and not get the murder spoiled.
Blasphemous I don't see having a big plot focus that spoilers would affect the playing.

>there's no talented sprite artists nowadays
There are tons of decent animations in the game from the enemies, what is lacking is more in the BIG things (from what i've seen).

Going 3d is the easy mediocre way out, going 2d gets extra bonus points from me for effort (good 2d, not shitty).

in Bloodstained you can play as Daenerys:

top that faggot

Who gives a shit about GoT anymore? This isn't 2014 faggot. Fuck off. (It also looks like shit.)

>it's shit and there's no level ups or weapons or anything that makes igavanias great
I can agree with lack in weapon variety, but RPG style leveling is a big problem with metroidvanias and they would benefit from removing that so that challenge can remain consistent with what they originally intended, rather than showing up and obliterating a boss or getting your ass stomped in by a damage sponge because you were the wrong level.

Are there any bell enemies in that game?

Why? The game doesn't actually look fun to play, the enemies are HP sponges.

People who expect a second coming of hollow knight are gonna get burned also play Unworthy

I played the demo faggot, did you? Game is good.

Yeah combat and movement feel like shit, no depth to either of them. demo altogether was piss easy, not what you'd expect.
i'll play the full game but it's literally looking like a 7/10 game so far

TORRENT IS UP

It's an 8/10. Carried by the art even though like only the first two bosses were actually animated well.

The gameplay is ass and so is the writing, the only reason why people are interested is the aesthetics which are admittedly gorgeous and original

I grabbed the rarb version.

is this any good? it looks like pixel shock value shit with slow combat

I'm not liking the voice action too much

this

The combat is pretty mind-numbingly boring so far. I can see you can unlock like movesets and spells probably but this whole mash one button for your attack is shit. Always will be. Hated it in Hollow Knight as well but at least you were a bit more slick there since you could pogo jump on enemies and the dash was faster.

At least the art and themes are cool even if the dialogue and voice acting are just mediocre.

>SPANISH INQUISITION CASTLEVANIA
that's blasphemy

heard the English one sucks, but is the Spanish one any better?

I really, really want them to do a major graphics overhaul in a future where they dither the pixel art. Everything almost looks amazing but this flat model they're going for almost looks like pillow shading and is really off-putting. At least for the bigger sprites, come the fuck on guys

FROMsoft is the epitome of zoomercore games, you dumb faggot.

I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "clone."

Metroidvania "genre" is absolute trash, and backtracking is cancer.

Fuck Metroid
Fuck Castelvania

combat is too fucking tedious and similar to dark souls, definite deep sale purchase

didi sombody repack it from 4gib to half gib

Games first impression is really good but after 5 hours of the combat and metroidvania shit you just wish it was a 5 hour linear game and not a 20 hour slog.

I'm watching a friend play it and it does kinda just look like if someone mashed Symphony of the Night and Dark Souls together

yeah, the combat is just this dull back and forth you always get with soulsian combat, the aesthetic is pretty great though imo

When the fuck did Souls claim surrealist horror?

This is fucking 2D it's not Souls like in the least.

come the fuck on you have to admit there's at least stylistic similarities? they're both medievil gothic / christian inspired grimdark settings

Why post a steam link when its out on GOG?

Why is the Penitent One such a fucking LEDGE MAGNET

I tried the demo and the game fucking sucked ass

It's like this all the time, every game tries to blow up on Yea Forums near and before its release. AAAs start building support 3 months in advance. I like the look of your game, and I checked out the KS, but it fucking bothers me that we can't have normal organic discussions about games, I hate being fucking shilled to and it turns me off of buying your shit.

Nobody shills their games in this shithole retard. Everyone here is an underage edgelord who hates everything to fit in. If the developers want to advertise we go to reddit where is much easier thanks to their corporate slave mentality.

Whole game feels like Sen's Fortress. I wish they put more emphasis on combat and less on gravity and spikes.

Despite being extremely easy, Bloodstained is very enjoyable and hits a lot of the notes you'd hope for in a metroidvania game. Avoid the Switch version for the time being, until they fix the sorry mess it released in.

>he

It's a girl, user.

Well, I have to say that this game's aesthetics are the primary appeal. I feel like I'm watching a painting.

I'm a bit over an hour into it, and I have to say the gameplay feels very meh. It just feels clunky and slow.

is the gameplay good?

it looks cool but I don't want to buy just to look at it

Really? I'm liking it a lot more than, say, Sundered so far. It's certainly no Hollow Knight, but that would be an unfair comparison.

Depends on what you expect. I find it fun, though the combat has more to do with positioning than anything else.

I can't say I expected a game about the Spanish Inquisition.

If that's the case then this is more like a Ghouls and Goblins game than a castlevania one.

Is it a shitty garbage igavania or is it an actual good castlevania. This is important as one is shit and plays completely different from castlevania, that one being igavanias

Only played like two hours so far. I wouldn't say it's bad, but the aesthetics are major appeal to me. If they aren't to you, skip it.

Set in the decaying land of Orthodoxia, a place where religion is of the utmost importance in the eyes of the populace, superstition runs amok, and churches outnumber people two to one. You will find yourself in this agonizing territory in the wake of the Age of Corruption, during which practically the entire population was transformed into hideous beasts as a punishment for their mutual blasphemy and inadequate worship; creatures that had deepened their profound faith, developing an unstoppable blood thirst you now have to contend with....

So, any annoying bugs so far?

Why? it certainly looks like it could have been good

i was there and used it to make a platform appear
hm, maybe you are in a different location and i made a mistake
sorry about that bro

This looks like the only action-platformer to give the full retro experience. It's not only pixel art, it's got the music, exploration, bosses, polish, everything nice and balanced. Compared for example to Death's Gambit which was massively scaled back in concept and turned into a boss rush, or Dead Cells which relies on roguelite mechanics, or Bloodstained which didn't attempt pixel graphics, etc.

Flying bell ghosts are sometimes invincible when spawning

Just got randomly stuck while grabbing a ledge and had to restart.
I Couldn't pull myself up and the game acted as if I was normally walking on ground.

Also, I think the enemies dealt more damage so far through collision damage than through actual attacks.
It's especially terrible in combination with how the special moves work like the downward thrust or the slide cut (which seem to work at random or delayed by a split-second which is fatal in these kind of games).

Slide attack is literally the best offensive action in the game, retard

Spam the jump button until your character does a high jump

That move only works when the enemy is like half a screen away from you and only does damage in the latter half of the move.
You're almost always better off with just parrying or hacking away at enemies.

>not pirating the gog version

I like it but I also haven't played a lot of other games in the genre so I don't have much to compare it to. Also bought it with gift cards I had lying around so it wasn't like I spent money I worked for on it. A few hours in and I don't regret getting it, I think I'll enjoy figuring out the lore and then moving on to other games.

Why do people say it’s Spanish influenced? I’m not an art fag

The art style is based on sevillian baroque art. And the mc is clearly based on a nazareno (guys on pic related).

Levelup systems just leads to artificially inflating stats to have some kind of stat class system.
Dark Souls could have turned into a amazing game if it got rid of VIT/Stamina/ADP as stats, since it means flater and better scaling of equipment and armor.
Levelup is a crutch mechanic that generally isn't meaningful.

Yes.

Yes, it's always been inspired by berserk

Didn't you notice "sword only" in the video title? Horheristo is a challenge autist, his videos involve abusing the least amount of mechanics possible to make it harder on himself.

It’s just badly written though.

>stranger things

I have no idea. I just beat her with a sliver of health left after realizing you can scale those grates on the sides of the arena which I used to outrun a bugged laser beam that kept firing even after I killed her, until the "boss defeated" text came up and it killed me.

Bloodstained and Hollow Knight.

As someone who has played most of the classic series (i'm missing a few of the less treaded paths like Haunted Castle, Circle of the Moon and Judgment) i still enjoyed the LoS trilogy for how it was, when it comes to reboots it's definetly one of the most harmless. I agree that Konami shouldn't have killed the OG series and continued it along with the reboot, but comparing this to shit like DmC or Bomberman Act Zero feels unfair if you ask me.

The art design is incredible, wonderful detail. Music great, really fits the mood.

The combat is just about average, all the enemies are one trick ponies but the bosses can be pretty fun. Level design is alright though if you want to 100% it there's gonna be a lot of backtracking.

So let me guess, it's less Castlevania and more DARK SOULS

Is it dubbed to spanish? I want to go full inquisitor.

There is some sort of tree I can interact with that says that I have no offerings. First time I accidentally summoned some sort of demon midboss. Can anybody explain this?

The opposite actually.

Looks like Salt and Sanctuary remains the best 2D Souls-like.

why do people keep comparing games like this to castlevania? have you ever played a castlevania game? it's like that one porn game, it's really obviously inspired by dark souls, just because it's fucking 2d doesn't make it castlevania

It has a lot more going on to call it simply a Souls-like.

Because it doesn't play like Dark Souls.

Spain had a really big fucking hardon for doing the most over-the-top Catholic art they possibly could. Most of Europe was doing that already but they went above and beyond. Considering the devs are from Spain and I think mentioned Seville as inspiration, it's pretty clear cut.

Oh. Is that all he'll give if you turn in his other quests?

It's above average. Mostly because of the unique setting and the grotesque quality art.

The gameplay is really fucking bog standard though. As a metroidvania I'd rank it as Good and as a Souls-like I'd rank it more than a few steps behind Salt and Sanctuary but at least far better than Death's Gambit.

do we know yet if there is a new game plus or something waiting for us at the end of the first playthrough?

I don't know how to tell you this, but reddit knows what GoG is. Turns out, a lot of people do, all over the internet.

How long is the game?

i havent played a metroidvania before is this game a good start point? What other ones are worth playing

>its out already in pirate website

Fuck. I kinda feel bad for pirating but if it turns out as good as it seems I will buy it later.

devs estimated ~20 hours if you wanna collect/see everything

18-25 hours.

no, fuck off

God no it's not a good starting point.

Play the classics first. Or if you want a bit more modern ones then I guess Bloodstained and Hollow Knight would be good too. Though the latter is more of a Metroid-like.

>Igavania
Cringe weeb autist, how's cuckstained treating you?

bloodstained is a fair bit easier and might be a good starting point into the genre i suppose
but just pick up anything that interests you bro, others include:

>bloodstained
>castlevania: symphony of the night
>super metroid
>dead cells

i think the art style is absolutely atrocious, but some people like salt & sanctuary as well

Play Symphony of the Night. It's easy and very accessible. If you don't like that, you probably won't like most other metroidvanias.

>5 fast travel points and short cuts
Good level design that's what

A soulslike with Salt and Sanctuary's gameplay and Blasphemous' art would be incredible.

>It's easy

How easy is SOTN? ill start with that one since it seems to be one thats popular. I heard these games play like RPGs are there skill trees?

Animation is very, very, very expensive and time consuming.
Metal Slug undoubtedly had a much bigger budget and a much stricter work ethic and standards behind them.

It's a toss-up really. You either go for real high quality shit like this but it'll leave a real toll on your artists. Or you could go for really simple shit like HK's art, which was literally all done by one dude, and just shit out lots more content.

No, there aren't any skill trees in SotN. It has stats that are affected by your level and equipment. It also has a ton of weapons weapons and various effects/spells you can learn as you progress through the game though. The reason SotN is easy is because there are a ton of different OP as fuck weapons and setups that straight up wreck everything in your path. It's forgiving enough that you could beat the game with whatever you find cool to use instead of the absolute best shit though.

Salt and Sanctuary is absurdly great but it isn't a good starting point due to the various styles of gameplay and the ridiculous wealth of shortcuts/locations.

How do I activate an execution? I'm assuming that's what the 'enemy glows red' signifies.

Did I miss an item or upgrade that makes the snow area less of an exercise in frustration? Between the wraiths attacking from inside cliffs, the pixel-perfect jumps, and the wind pushing me off edges it's really starting to test my patience.

Does the girl who offers help on the boss in mercy dreams actually do anything? I didn't notice when I let her.

i think she heals you if your health falls too low or something

This. The idea so many people have on a niche board on a niche website that it is some sort of trend-setting tastemaker that devs, especially tiny indie teams like Blasphemous’, would spend money and time on actively ‘shilling’ to is beyond laughable. But it was like this 10 years ago and likely before that, and will continue to be until Hiroshimoot finally pulls the plug.

well that ending was disappointing

it's the bad ending

theres more than 1?

yep

I like how the game lets you fuck up and go into really hard areas before you're intended to. I went straight to the underground area with all the miasma first and I was getting my shit kicked in.

I think the nun area is the second one you're supposed to do. First is the catacomb one with the deer-skull boss, and third is the underground one I think. I had six health jars by the time I got to the nun area.

I wish the game was linear

Oh! well fuck, I also went to the second area first then and I literally JUST finished it.

>no level ups or weapons or anything that makes igavanias great
If by 'great' you mean 'make combat redundant 2 hours into the game because the concept of balance is alien to Iga' then yeah
I too think walking up and down corridors spamming one attack to kill everything in 1 hit is the epitome of fun

Only thing I cannot get past are the edgy weebshit character faces

That's my issue with most of these Metroidvanias, almost all of them has terrible aesthetics. I even like Hollow Knight's artstyle, but it's so saturday morning cartoon it's hard to take anything seriously.

What do you think?

It doesn't feel very polished in terms of narrative structure - there's plenty of good ideas but they're a bit ham-fisted because of the bad dialogue and lack of proper pacing

WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU UPGRADE YOUR ROSARY I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR 8 HOURS

It's not as good as RUTM but i'd still recommend it.

The main themes are primarily influenced by Goya, though there are sprinkles of other greats like Velazquez (the girl riding the giant is almost an exact copy of the central figure from Las Meninas) and El Greco

Not him, it's objectively poor and clunky writing

unfortunately not

It's directly below the very first area in the game, but you have to go right, down, left around through the underground areas to get there the first time and open the path.

Why the fuck did they obfuscate something so important?

It's called exploring, user

Why are people saying the controls are clunky? Been playing for a couple hours and it was pretty easy to pick up and the character moves well imo

Controls are just fine for me as well its just the down thrust move that is kinda ass.

In one hour, I have gotten as far as I have in four hours. I've now caught up with my previous run, do not let your waifu suffer Yea Forums

The game just came out so people are bad at them.

I had the same problem with it being inconsistent, found it worked better if I held the attack first before trying to go down

How can I hatch the egg of altasgracias?
Has anyone gotten that far?

Why the fuck is there such a big focus on fucking pixel perfect platforming?
I love the art style and really enjoy the combat and boss fights, but trying to navigate the map and environment is just fucking irritating. I've only beaten two bosses so far, visited the snow and magma areas, and fought a flying dude that summoned lightning. Does it stop trying to be a bing bing wahooshit game anytime soon and focus on the combat, or should I just drop it now?

Does anyone else find the ledge grab a little too sensitive? Especially since there doesn't seem to be an option to just drop down from a ledge.

Explore Hondo better, user

What the fuck? I already beat the upside down bell, but the platform at the top doesnt move

You have to ------------------------------------ collect all 36 cherubims-------------------------------------

there's a statue holding a chain that you smash to release the mechanisms, you can do it before the boss

And?
It's a side-scrolling game for which the advertising and trailers have all exclusively featured violent, gory combat. Why am I playing it only to find that 80% of the game consists of fucking jumping, platforming, and ladder puzzles and that half the combat features an enemy hitting you and knocking you back so far you fall back down the shitty platforming puzzle that just took you 12 attempts to climb?

Ok, it looks like I wasn't paying attention, because I beat the thunder knight on the bridge, got stuck, decided to look up a walkthrough, turns out I had miss the blood platform ability AND the wood platform ability.

>a smash thread died for this

Gotta love games that release unfinished

It's all about when they got into it, user.
Early dark souls, where people played blind, before all the patches and coming off the back of several years of the most handholdy and unchallenging AAA games of all time, was a boomer as fuck experience.

Late dark souls, that they got into after watching their favorite eceleb streamer faggot play through the game, and had every surprise and mechanic revealed to them before even picking up a controller, was zoomer as fuck. Not only did the patches make the game much, much easier by that point, but the difference between going in blind and figuring things out yourself, or just copying some streamer and their meta build and knowing exactly where to get the OP gear without having to explore yourself is a massive one.

so you’re telling me if pewdiepie starts fucking with Quake Champions (long shot on the dark, I know) and all his kiddies start playing it Quake and arena shooters in general would now be a zoomer game?

Hopefully never, because Metroidvanias are great, and everyone whinging "Dark Souls!!1!" are retards who forget Metroidvanias had fucking save points, where the only real challenge after death was getting back to where you were.

Yes. I'm rubbish at platformers. Because I hate platformers, find them frustrating and unenjoyable, and have no desire to play them. This is why I had a couple attempts at one of the 2D mario games and decided it wasn't my kind of thing. This is why I tried playing sonic mania, wondered what people found enjoyable about this style of game, and deleted it again after half an hour.

If anything at all about this game looked like it was going to be about fucking jumping puzzles instead of combat, I never would have bothered with it. But for some reason I looked at the game that was showcasing it's executions, bosses, and combat and concluded it was a game about combat, not about climbing ladders while avoiding sewerage drips. Imagine that.

How is this game sacrilegious? The enemies and the setting are just slightly Christian-ish. Sausage Party is more offensive.

of the first 3 bosses you need before you can go to sen's fortress, I've only found 1.. in the bottom right, I assume another one is above that but I've been spending the last 2 hours to the left of the bottom area and have gone through all this shit.. taking down statues to ring a bell to make me go lower, etc. WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS THING?

Can't say I know much about QC, but no. Dark souls is the sort of game where your equipment and knowing where things are can make a significant difference in the challenge the player experiences. You can't 'ruin' the experience of arena shooters by having prior knowledge of the level layouts or where guns are located.
